Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch features 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T ports that automatically negotiate speed and duplex settings, simplifying installation and reducing configuration overhead. Four shared SFP slots allow for fiber uplinks or long-distance copper connections, extending network reach and supporting mixed-media environments.
The Gigabit Ethernet technology ensures full-duplex throughput up to 2000 Mbps per port, minimizing bottlenecks for bandwidth-intensive applications. Managed through a web-based interface, the switch supports essential Layer 2 functions including QoS, port mirroring, and storm control for optimized network performance.

Deployment / Use Cases
The GS950/48 is ideal for small to medium-sized offices, retail stores, classrooms, or light industrial settings where reliable Gigabit connectivity and basic management are required. Its desktop form factor allows placement on shelves or under desks, while wall-mounting options save space in tight installations.
Common deployments include serving as a distribution switch in branch offices, aggregating connections in open-plan workspaces, or providing connectivity in retail point-of-sale environments. The switch's Layer 2 features support segmenting traffic between departments, prioritizing voice or video traffic, and monitoring network health through port statistics.
Office Network Aggregation
Connects workstations, network printers, and VoIP phones with QoS for voice prioritization and VLANs for departmental segmentation.
Retail & Hospitality
Supports POS systems, digital signage, and guest Wi-Fi access points with basic security features and traffic monitoring.
Physical Profile
Measuring 1.71" high, 17.32" wide, and 12.68" deep, the switch features a compact footprint suitable for desktop placement or wall mounting. The 8.91 lb weight and included mounting brackets facilitate installation in various environments without requiring dedicated rack space. The steel chassis provides durability for continuous operation in office temperatures.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.71" (43.50 mm), 17.32" (440 mm), 12.68" (322 mm), 8.91 lb (4040 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
How many devices can I connect to this switch?
The AT-GS950/48-10 provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing direct connection of up to 48 network devices such as computers, printers, IP phones, or access points. With the four SFP expansion slots, you can add uplinks to other switches or network segments, effectively supporting larger networks through daisy-chaining or hierarchical designs.
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, this specific model does not include Power over Ethernet capabilities. The 48 ports provide data connectivity only. For PoE requirements, you would need to use external PoE injectors for individual devices or consider a PoE-enabled switch model from the Allied Telesis lineup for integrated power delivery.
What management features does the WebSmart interface provide?
The WebSmart management interface offers Layer 2 functionality including VLAN configuration for network segmentation, QoS settings for traffic prioritization, port mirroring for monitoring, and storm control for broadcast limitation. It provides a browser-based configuration without requiring command-line expertise, making it accessible for network administrators with varying experience levels.
Can I use fiber connections with this switch?
Yes, through the four SFP expansion slots. These slots accept standard SFP transceivers for fiber optic connections (multimode or single-mode) or copper SFP modules for extended distance over twisted pair. The slots are shared with the copper ports, meaning you can use them for uplinks while maintaining all 48 copper ports active.
What are the physical mounting options for this switch?
The switch supports both desktop placement and wall mounting. The compact 1U-height design allows it to sit on a shelf or desk, while included mounting brackets enable secure wall installation. The 8.91 lb weight and 17.32" width make it suitable for placement in network closets, under desks, or on wall brackets in space-constrained environments.
What type of cabling does this switch require?
The switch supports standard twisted-pair Ethernet cabling (Cat5e, Cat6, or higher) for all 48 copper ports. It automatically negotiates the appropriate speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) and supports cable lengths up to 100 meters per the Ethernet standard. The auto-MDI/MDIX feature eliminates the need for crossover cables, allowing use of standard straight-through cables for all connections.
