Allied Telesis AT-X530-28GTXM-90 – TAA Multi-Rate Layer 3 Stackable...
Overview
The Allied Telesis AT-X530-28GTXM-90 is a TAA-compliant Layer 3 stackable switch designed for enterprise access and distribution deployments that require multi-rate connectivity. It delivers 20 standard Gigabit Ethernet ports alongside 4 multi-rate copper ports supporting 100M/1G/2.5G/5G speeds, enabling smooth integration with 802.11ac Wave 2 and Wi-Fi 6 access points without forklift upgrades. Running AlliedWare Plus, the switch supports full Layer 3 routing, VCStack virtual chassis stacking, and Allied Telesis Management Framework (AMF) for centralized network management. The -90 suffix designates TAA compliance, making it suitable for federal and government procurement under the Trade Agreements Act.
Description
The AT-X530-28GTXM-90 is built on the proven AT-X530 platform and targets network environments where a mix of legacy Gigabit devices and higher-speed endpoints must coexist on the same switch fabric. The 20 standard 10/100/1000BASE-T ports serve desktops, IP phones, and traditional networked equipment, while the 4 multi-rate ports (100M/1G/2.5G/5G-T) provide the bandwidth headroom needed for modern Wi-Fi 6 access points and multi-gig-capable endpoints. Four SFP+ uplinks (10GbE capable) connect aggregation or core switches, keeping uplink bandwidth well ahead of access-layer demand.
AlliedWare Plus provides enterprise-grade Layer 3 routing including static routes, RIPv2, OSPFv2/v3, BGP, and PIM multicast, giving network teams the protocol flexibility to deploy the switch at both the access and distribution tiers. VCStack technology allows up to four AT-X530 units to be combined into a single logical switch, simplifying management and increasing port density without adding management complexity. AMF (Allied Telesis Management Framework) enables zero-touch provisioning, automatic backup and recovery, and network-wide management from a single point — reducing ongoing operational overhead in multi-site deployments.
The -90 TAA compliance designation ensures the unit meets Buy American and Trade Agreements Act requirements, a mandatory qualification for most U.S. federal, state, and local government networking contracts. The switch ships ready for immediate deployment in standard 1U rack form factor. For procurement assistance or volume pricing, contact Creation Networks.
Key Features
- 20x 10/100/1000BASE-T Ports: Standard Gigabit copper access ports for desktops, IP phones, and legacy networked devices.
- 4x Multi-Rate Copper Ports (100M/1G/2.5G/5G-T): Auto-negotiated multi-speed ports accommodate Wi-Fi 6 APs and multi-gig endpoints without requiring separate switches.
- 4x SFP+ Uplinks (10GbE): High-capacity fiber or DAC uplinks to aggregation and core layers prevent uplink bottlenecks.
- Layer 3 Routing (AlliedWare Plus): Full L3 feature set including OSPF, BGP, RIP, and PIM multicast for flexible network design.
- VCStack Virtual Chassis: Stack up to four switches into one logical device for simplified management and increased port density.
- AMF (Allied Telesis Management Framework): Zero-touch provisioning, automated backup/recovery, and centralized management across the entire network.
- TAA Compliant (-90 Suffix): Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements for U.S. federal and government purchasing programs.
- AlliedWare Plus OS: Feature-rich, scriptable network operating system with a strong security baseline and long-term software support.
Typical Applications
- Enterprise access-layer deployments combining Gigabit desktop ports with multi-gig Wi-Fi 6 AP uplinks on the same switch.
- Federal and government network refreshes requiring TAA-compliant hardware for GSA Schedule or contract procurement.
- Distribution-layer deployments where Layer 3 routing, OSPF, and stacking simplify multi-building campus networks.
- Education and healthcare networks transitioning from 1G to 2.5G/5G without replacing all edge cabling.
- High-density conference or collaboration spaces where a mix of device speeds must share a single access switch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the -90 suffix mean on this switch?
The -90 suffix designates TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance. This means the unit meets the Buy American Act and TAA requirements and is eligible for procurement under U.S. federal contracts, GSA Schedule, and most state and local government purchasing programs.
Can I mix AT-X530-28GTXM-90 units with other AT-X530 models in a VCStack?
VCStack supports stacking within the AT-X530 product family. For specific cross-model stacking compatibility, consult the Allied Telesis VCStack documentation or contact Creation Networks for guidance before deployment.
What speeds do the 4 multi-rate ports support?
The 4 multi-rate copper ports support 100Mbps, 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, and 5Gbps with auto-negotiation, making them compatible with 802.11ac Wave 2 and Wi-Fi 6 access points that require more than 1GbE backhaul without requiring fiber or SFP modules.
Does this switch support PoE?
The AT-X530-28GTXM-90 is a non-PoE model. If Power over Ethernet is required, refer to the AT-X530L-28GPX or AT-X530-18GHXM PoE variants in the X530 series, also available through Creation Networks.
What routing protocols are supported?
AlliedWare Plus on the AT-X530 series supports static routing, RIPv2, OSPFv2, OSPFv3, BGP-4, and PIM multicast routing, providing full enterprise Layer 3 capability at the access and distribution tiers.
