The low power consumption and fanless design make it suitable for environmentally controlled spaces like server rooms or for deployments where energy efficiency is prioritized.
Office Network Core
Connect workstations, printers, and VoIP phones with Gigabit performance while using SFP uplinks for connection to servers or internet gateway.
Retail Environment
Silent operation suits point-of-sale systems, inventory management terminals, and security cameras without adding ambient noise to customer areas.
Physical Profile
Designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting, this switch occupies 1U of vertical space with dimensions of 1.73 inches in height, 13.43 inches in width, and 9.09 inches in depth. The compact form factor maximizes port density while minimizing rack space consumption, and the 5.29-pound weight ensures easy installation without requiring special mounting hardware.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.73" (44 mm), 13.43" (341 mm), 9.09" (231 mm), 5.29 lb (2400 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
How many devices can I connect to this Allied Telesis switch?
The AT-X230L-26GT-10 provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting network devices such as computers, printers, IP phones, and wireless access points. Additionally, it includes 2 SFP uplink ports for fiber optic connections to other switches or network infrastructure, giving you a total of 26 physical connection points for building a comprehensive network.
What are the SFP ports used for on this switch?
The two SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports support mini-GBIC transceivers for 1000Base-X fiber optic connections. These uplink ports enable longer distance connections between switches, connection to fiber backbone networks, or linking to equipment in different buildings. They provide flexibility for network expansion beyond the limitations of copper cabling.
Is this switch manageable, and what management features does it offer?
Yes, this is a fully managed Layer 3 switch. Management features include web-based configuration, command line interface (CLI) access, and SNMP monitoring. It supports VLAN configuration, Quality of Service (QoS), link aggregation, spanning tree protocols, and advanced security features like AMF secure mode and TACACS+ command authorization for comprehensive network control.
What does Layer 3 switching capability provide?
Layer 3 switching enables this device to perform routing functions between different IP subnets or VLANs. This means it can make forwarding decisions based on IP addresses rather than just MAC addresses, allowing for more efficient traffic flow in segmented networks. It supports routing protocols for dynamic path selection and reduces the need for separate routers in many network designs.
Can this switch be installed in a standard server rack?
Yes, the AT-X230L-26GT-10 is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting and occupies 1U (1.73 inches) of vertical space. Its dimensions of 13.43 inches wide by 9.09 inches deep fit typical rack enclosures, and the 5.29-pound weight makes installation straightforward with standard rack mounting hardware.
What are the power requirements for this network switch?
This switch operates on standard AC power through its internal power supply and consumes approximately 20.50 watts under typical load conditions. The fanless design means there are no cooling fans to fail, contributing to the low power consumption and silent operation. No special power requirements or dedicated circuits are needed for standard deployment.
