Allied Telesis AT-FS710/16-10 – 16-Port Unmanaged Fast Ethernet Switch

Overview

The Allied Telesis AT-FS710/16-10 is a 16-port unmanaged Fast Ethernet switch providing plug-and-play 10/100 Mbps connectivity for small workgroups and departmental networks. It ships with an internal power supply and a US power cord, requiring no external power brick and simplifying cable management. With no management interface or configuration required, the switch is operational immediately upon connecting power and network cables. Allied Telesis Green Ethernet technology reduces power consumption based on detected cable length and link status, lowering operating costs over the life of the device.

Description

Unmanaged switches serve environments where Layer 2 forwarding without administrative overhead is the primary requirement. The AT-FS710/16-10 provides 16 auto-sensing 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports in a compact form factor suitable for desktop placement or rack mounting. There are no VLANs, spanning tree configuration, or management credentials to set up — the switch forwards traffic immediately based on MAC address learning.

The internal PSU design is a practical advantage over external brick-style adapters: it eliminates the loose power supply, reduces the risk of it being misplaced or replaced with an incorrect unit, and allows the switch to occupy a single power outlet rather than blocking adjacent outlets with a bulky adapter. The included US power cord connects to any standard 110 V outlet.

Green Ethernet features included in the AT-FS710/16-10 automatically reduce power to ports with shorter cable runs and power down ports where no link is detected, reducing idle power draw compared to non-energy-aware switches. This makes it a practical choice for deployments where many ports may be unpopulated or intermittently used, such as conference rooms, classrooms, or seasonal workspaces.
