Product Features
Technical Overview
This expansion module implements the 10GBase-T standard, supporting data transfer rates up to 10Gbps over Category 6A or better twisted pair cabling with a reach of up to 100 meters. The four RJ-45 ports operate at full duplex, providing dedicated 10GbE connectivity for servers, storage arrays, uplinks, or high-performance workstations.
The module is engineered for continuous operation in data networking environments, with hot-swappable capability for maintenance without network disruption. The environmentally friendly design meets modern sustainability requirements while maintaining the reliability expected from Allied Telesis networking components.
Key Product Advantages
This expansion module provides a cost-effective path to 10GbE networking by utilizing existing twisted pair cabling infrastructure rather than requiring fiber optic upgrades. The four-port design offers excellent port density for maximizing switch investment while maintaining the simplicity of RJ-45 connectivity.
Infrastructure Efficiency
Leverage your current Category 6A or better copper cabling to achieve 10Gbps performance without the expense of fiber optic conversion equipment or specialized cabling.
- Uses existing twisted pair infrastructure
- No media converters required
- Backward compatible with lower speeds
High-Density Connectivity
Four dedicated 10GbE ports in a single module slot maximize port utilization and reduce per-port costs compared to individual transceiver solutions.
- Four ports per module slot
- Dedicated 10Gbps per port
- Optimizes switch chassis space
Deployment / Use Cases
The AT-SBX81XLEM/XT4 expansion module is ideal for data center top-of-rack switching, server farm connectivity, and network aggregation points where high-bandwidth copper connections are required. It serves as a practical upgrade path for organizations transitioning from 1GbE to 10GbE networking while preserving existing cabling investments.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting virtualization hosts to network storage, establishing high-speed uplinks between switches, and providing connectivity for bandwidth-intensive applications such as video editing workstations, scientific computing clusters, or database servers. The module's compatibility with the SBx81XLEM line card makes it specifically suited for Allied Telesis switching environments requiring additional 10GbE copper ports.

FAQ
What type of cabling does this expansion module support?
The AT-SBX81XLEM/XT4 expansion module supports twisted pair copper cabling, specifically Category 6A or better, to achieve the full 10Gbps data rate over distances up to 100 meters. This allows you to utilize existing structured cabling infrastructure rather than investing in fiber optic solutions.
Which Allied Telesis equipment is this module compatible with?
This expansion module is specifically designed for compatibility with the Allied Telesis SBx81XLEM line card series. It installs directly into compatible switching platforms that accept this line card, providing additional 10GbE copper ports for network expansion.
What is the maximum data transfer rate per port?
Each of the four RJ-45 ports on this expansion module supports data transfer rates up to 10 gigabits per second using the 10GBase-T standard. All ports operate at full duplex, providing dedicated 10Gbps bandwidth in both directions simultaneously.
Can this module be installed without powering down the switch?
Yes, the AT-SBX81XLEM/XT4 expansion module features hot-swappable capability, allowing installation or removal while the compatible switching platform remains operational. This enables maintenance and upgrades without disrupting network services.
