Physical Profile
Measuring 8.27 inches wide, 4.76 inches deep, and 1.50 inches high, the switch has a compact footprint that fits easily on desktops or in tight rack spaces. The 1.76-pound weight makes it lightweight for wall mounting or portable setups. The metal casing provides durability while the fanless design ensures silent operation in noise-sensitive environments like offices and classrooms.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.50" (38 mm), 8.27" (210 mm), 4.76" (121 mm), 1.76 lb (800 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
How many devices can I connect to this switch?
The AT-GS920/8-10 provides eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing you to connect up to eight network devices such as computers, printers, IP phones, or network-attached storage units. Each port supports auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, ensuring compatibility with both older and modern equipment.
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, this switch does not provide Power over Ethernet. It is a standard Gigabit Ethernet switch that requires connected devices to have their own power sources. For PoE capabilities, you would need to select a different model from Allied Telesis's PoE switch lineup.
Can I mount this switch in a server rack?
Yes, the switch is rack-mountable with optional rack brackets (typically sold separately). Its compact 1U height design allows it to fit standard 19-inch server racks alongside other networking equipment. The switch also supports desktop and wall mounting for flexible deployment in various environments.
What is Layer 2 switching and why does it matter?
Layer 2 switching refers to data link layer operation that forwards network traffic based on MAC addresses rather than IP addresses. This provides efficient local network performance by reducing broadcast traffic and enabling direct device-to-device communication within the same network segment. For this unmanaged switch, Layer 2 operation happens automatically without requiring configuration.
What type of cables does this switch support?
The switch supports standard twisted-pair Ethernet cables (Category 5e, 6, or higher) with RJ45 connectors. It is compatible with 10/100/1000Base-T network technology, allowing cable runs up to 100 meters per port. The auto-MDI/MDIX feature eliminates the need for crossover cables—any standard straight-through cable will work for device connections.
Is this switch suitable for gaming or media streaming applications?
Yes, the Gigabit Ethernet ports provide sufficient bandwidth for gaming consoles, media servers, and streaming devices. The 1000 Mbps per port capacity handles high-definition video streaming and low-latency gaming traffic effectively. The unmanaged design ensures simple setup without complex quality-of-service configuration typically needed for optimized gaming performance.
