FAQ
How many devices can I connect to this switch?
The Allied Telesis AT-GS910/16-10 has 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing you to connect up to 16 wired devices such as computers, printers, network storage, or VoIP phones directly. If you need to connect more devices, you can daisy-chain additional switches, though this may impact overall network performance depending on traffic patterns.
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, this switch does not support Power over Ethernet. It is a standard unmanaged Gigabit switch that provides data connectivity only. If you need to power devices like IP cameras or wireless access points through the Ethernet cable, you would require a PoE-enabled switch or separate PoE injectors.
Can I mount this switch on a wall or in a rack?
Yes, the AT-GS910/16-10 is designed for both desktop and wall mounting. It includes mounting provisions for secure wall installation. While it is not a rack-mountable unit in the traditional sense (it lacks standard rack ears), its compact size allows it to be placed on a shelf within a rack enclosure if needed.
What is the difference between managed and unmanaged switches?
An unmanaged switch, like the AT-GS910/16-10, operates automatically with no configuration required—you simply connect devices and it forwards data. Managed switches offer advanced features like VLANs, QoS, and port monitoring, which require setup and management. This unmanaged model is ideal for simple networks where ease of use is a priority.
What type of cables should I use with this switch?
This switch supports twisted-pair Ethernet cables (10/100/1000Base-T), specifically Category 5e, 6, or higher. These are standard Ethernet cables with RJ45 connectors. For optimal Gigabit performance, use Cat5e or better cables, and ensure runs do not exceed 100 meters (328 feet) per port to maintain signal integrity.
Does this switch have uplink ports for connecting to other network equipment?
No, the AT-GS910/16-10 does not have dedicated uplink ports. All 16 ports are standard Gigabit Ethernet ports that auto-negotiate speed and duplex. You can use any of these ports to connect to a router, modem, or another switch—the switch will automatically detect and configure the connection appropriately for upstream or downstream traffic.
