Allied Telesis AT-GS910/10XST-10 UNMANAGED SWITCH WITH 10G UPLINK 8X 10/100M/1G-T 1X

Product Overview

The Allied Telesis GS910/10XST-10 is an Allied Telesis GS910 unmanaged gigabit switch with 10G multi-gig uplink, delivering zero-configuration plug-and-play connectivity for small to medium business networks and server edge deployments. Unlike the larger GS910/26XST (26-port version), the GS910/10XST-10 offers a compact 10-port footprint — 8 x 10/100/1000T access ports plus one 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G Multi-Gigabit copper uplink and one 1G/10G SFP+ fiber uplink — making it ideal for space-constrained wiring closets and open work areas. IT managers seeking a cost-effective unmanaged gigabit switch with dual 10G uplink options will find this a practical solution for high-bandwidth uplink aggregation without management overhead.

Product Description

The Allied Telesis CentreCOM GS910/10XST-10 delivers enterprise-grade simplicity for access-layer deployments where zero-configuration operation is required. Eight auto-negotiating 10/100/1000Base-T ports serve end-user devices and servers, while the dual uplink architecture sets this switch apart: a Multi-Gigabit copper uplink supports 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G speeds over existing Cat6A cabling — eliminating the need for immediate infrastructure replacement — and an SFP+ slot accepts 1G or 10G fiber transceivers for long-distance backbone connectivity. The fanless steel chassis operates silently, making it well-suited for open-plan offices, classrooms, or any noise-sensitive environment. Loop Guard technology periodically transmits Loop Detection Frames (LDF) and automatically isolates any port where a loop is detected, preventing broadcast storms without administrator intervention. IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) reduces port power consumption during periods of low traffic, lowering both operating costs and the device carbon footprint. Front-panel DIP switches enable or disable Loop Guard and EEE without any software access, maintaining true unmanaged simplicity. The robust form factor supports rack-mount, wall-mount, and desktop deployment. Managed procurement teams will note the product complies with EU RoHS and China RoHS environmental standards.

Key Features

• 8 x 10/100/1000Base-T Access Ports — Auto-negotiating, auto MDI/MDI-X, full-duplex capable for desktop and server connections.
• Multi-Gigabit Copper Uplink (100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G) — Maximizes existing Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6A cable plant investment while delivering up to 10G uplink throughput.
• 1G/10G SFP+ Fiber Uplink — Flexible optic choice for long-distance backbone or fiber-only uplinks.
• Loop Guard (LDF-based) — Automatically blocks looping ports and restores them once the loop is resolved; no configuration required.
• IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet — Reduces power on low-activity ports; lowers TCO and environmental impact.
• Fanless Silent Operation — Suitable for open offices, classrooms, and noise-sensitive areas.
• Front-Panel DIP Switches — Enable/disable Loop Guard and EEE without software or CLI access.
• Flexible Mounting — Rack-mount, wall-mount, or desktop deployment; robust steel chassis.

Typical Applications

• Small to medium business (SMB) access-layer switching with high-bandwidth uplink requirements
• Server and storage edge connectivity requiring 10G uplink aggregation
• Open-plan offices, classrooms, or noise-sensitive environments where silent operation is mandatory
• Branch office wiring closets requiring zero-configuration, plug-and-play deployment
• High-bandwidth desktop-to-core segments in existing Cat6A copper infrastructures
• Retail and hospitality network expansion where simple, reliable connectivity is required

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the GS910/10XST and the GS910/26XST?

The GS910/10XST provides 8 access ports in a compact form factor, while the GS910/26XST provides 24 access ports. Both models share the same dual uplink architecture (Multi-Gigabit copper + SFP+) and Loop Guard technology.

Q: Does the Multi-Gigabit copper uplink require Cat6A cabling?

Cat6A is required to reach 10G speeds. At 2.5G and 5G speeds, standard Cat5e and Cat6 cabling can be used respectively, allowing organizations to leverage existing cable plant infrastructure without rewiring.

Q: Can the GS910/10XST-10 be managed via software?

No. This is a fully unmanaged switch. Configuration is limited to the front-panel DIP switches for Loop Guard and EEE. If centralized management is required, consider Allied Telesis managed switch alternatives.

Q: What SFP+ transceivers are compatible with the uplink slot?

The SFP+ slot accepts Allied Telesis 1G and 10G SFP+ transceivers including multimode and single-mode options. Allied Telesis-branded SFPs are recommended to ensure full interoperability and warranty coverage.

Q: Is the GS910/10XST-10 TAA compliant?

The GS910/XST series supports TAA-compliant configurations. Confirm TAA status with your reseller or Creation Networks for government procurement requirements.

Q: What mounting options are available?

The switch supports desktop, rack-mount (with optional rack-mount kit), and wall-mount (with optional wall-mount bracket) deployment. The steel chassis provides durability in all orientations.

Q: Where can I purchase the AT-GS910/10XST-10?

The AT-GS910/10XST-10 is available through Creation Networks, an authorized Allied Telesis reseller providing competitive pricing and pre-sales technical support.
