Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch operates at Gigabit Ethernet speeds across all ports, supporting 1000Base-T for copper cabling and 1000Base-X for fiber optics via the SFP slots. The Layer 2 switching foundation includes essential features such as IGMP snooping for efficient multicast traffic handling, port mirroring for network analysis, and spanning tree protocols for loop prevention and redundancy.
The port configuration is optimized for scalability: 24 downlink ports connect end-user devices, while the four uplink ports facilitate aggregation to core switches or routers. The modular SFP slots allow for fiber uplinks to extend network reach over longer distances or connect to fiber backbones, providing flexibility in media choice based on distance, budget, or existing infrastructure.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Uplink Port, Modular, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

FAQ
How many devices can I connect directly to this switch?
The Allied Telesis AT-X230-28GT-10 provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing you to connect up to 24 wired devices such as computers, printers, IP phones, or access points directly. The four SFP uplink slots are reserved for connecting to other switches or routers, not for end-user devices, so the total downlink capacity is 24 ports.
What types of cables are supported by this switch?
This switch supports twisted-pair copper cables (like Cat5e or Cat6) for the 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, with a maximum distance of 100 meters per port. For the four SFP uplink slots, it supports optical fiber cables via SFP transceivers, enabling longer-distance connections or links to fiber backbones. The network technology includes both 1000Base-T for copper and 1000Base-X for fiber.
Is this switch manageable, and what features does it offer?
Yes, the AT-X230-28GT-10 is a fully manageable Layer 2 switch. It includes features such as VLAN support for network segmentation, QoS for traffic prioritization, IGMP snooping for efficient multicast handling, port mirroring for monitoring and troubleshooting, and spanning tree protocols for network redundancy and loop prevention. These management capabilities provide control over network setup, security, and performance.
Can I use this switch in a rack-mounted setup?
Absolutely. This switch is designed for rack-mountable installation with a standard 1U height (1.73 inches). It fits into 19-inch network racks, and its dimensions—13.43 inches wide and 9.09 inches deep—ensure compatibility with most cabinet configurations. The rack-mount design helps organize cables and secure the switch in professional environments like server rooms or network closets.
What are the uplink options available on this switch?
The switch includes four dedicated Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports configured as SFP slots. These slots allow you to insert SFP transceivers for either copper or fiber connections, providing flexibility in uplink media. You can use them to connect to core switches, routers, or other network aggregation points, supporting distances beyond 100 meters with fiber optics or shorter copper runs as needed.
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, the Allied Telesis AT-X230-28GT-10 does not support Power over Ethernet. It is a non-PoE switch, meaning it provides data connectivity only and does not deliver electrical power over the Ethernet cables to devices like IP phones, cameras, or wireless access points. If PoE is required, you would need a separate PoE switch or injectors for powered devices.
