Allied AT-GS980MX/28PSM-40 Telesis 20x PoE+ 4x 5Gb PoE+ 4x SFP+ Switch

Product Description

The Allied AT-GS980MX/28PSM-40 is engineered to provide high-performance network connectivity with advanced Power over Ethernet capabilities. Its combination of 20 standard PoE+ ports and 4 higher-speed 5Gbps PoE+ ports allows for flexible deployment of a wide range of powered devices, from IP phones and wireless access points to surveillance cameras. The inclusion of 4 SFP+ ports ensures ample bandwidth for uplinks to core networks or connections to other high-speed devices, supporting up to 10Gbps for efficient data transfer. This switch is equipped with Layer 3 routing capabilities, enabling it to perform static routing functions and manage traffic more efficiently within the network. This reduces the burden on core routers and improves overall network performance. Security is a paramount concern, and the AT-GS980MX/28PSM-40 addresses this with a comprehensive suite of features, including Access Control Lists (ACLs) to filter traffic, port security to control device access, and 802.1X authentication to ensure only authorized users and devices can connect. The device boasts a substantial PoE budget of 740W, ensuring that all connected PoE+ devices can receive adequate power without compromise. Its fanless design in some configurations (check specific model variant) contributes to quieter operation, making it suitable for environments where noise is a consideration. The switch supports Jumbo Frames up to 9KB, which can enhance throughput for large data transfers. Management is straightforward through a user-friendly Web GUI, a powerful Command Line Interface (CLI), and standard SNMP protocols, offering flexibility for network administrators.
