Allied Telesis AT-X530DP-52GHXM-B01 – Dense PoE Layer 3 Stackable Switch with NCP Bundle

Product Overview

The Allied Telesis AT-X530DP-52GHXM-B01 is the Dense PoE Plus (DP) variant of the x530 Series Layer 3 stackable switch, combining 24 x 10/100/1000-T PoE+ ports, 16 x 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G-T PoE++ multi-gigabit ports, and 8 x SFP+ 10G uplinks in a 1U rack-mount chassis with a 1,480 W PoE budget. This Allied Telesis x530DP 40-port PoE mixed-rate Layer 3 switch delivers the highest PoE port density in the x530 line, purpose-built for deployments powering high-density Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, IP cameras, and IoT endpoints that require both standard and elevated power delivery. The +B01 suffix indicates the product is bundled with a 1-year Allied Telesis Network Coverage Plus (NCP) service agreement. Available from Creation Networks, this switch addresses mixed-density PoE environments where a single platform must simultaneously serve legacy 802.3af/at devices and newer 802.3bt (PoE++) powered endpoints.

Product Description

The DP (Dense PoE Plus) designation in the x530DP model name distinguishes this switch from the standard x530 and x530L variants by its focus on maximum PoE port density with mixed power class support. The 24 x 10/100/1000-T ports deliver 802.3af (PoE, up to 15.4 W) and 802.3at (PoE+, up to 30 W) power delivery for standard endpoint classes including IP phones, 802.11n/ac access points, and basic IP cameras. The 16 x multi-gigabit ports (100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G-T) support 802.3bt PoE++ at up to 90 W per port, enabling powered connectivity for Wi-Fi 6E tri-band APs, PTZ cameras, digital signage, and other high-power-demand edge devices. The total PoE budget of 1,480 W is one of the highest in its class for a 1U switch, providing substantial headroom for fully populated mixed-power deployments. Beyond PoE, the 8 x SFP+ 10G uplink ports provide northbound connectivity to spine switches, routers, or stacking peers. VCStack allows up to eight x530 units to be combined into a single logical switch — the largest stack size in the x530 series — supporting distributed wiring closet deployments tied to a common control plane. VCStack-LD enables stack formation across fiber links between buildings. This Allied Telesis x530DP 40-port PoE mixed-rate Layer 3 switch natively supports AMF, allowing it to participate in Autonomous Management Framework topologies for zero-touch provisioning and centralized configuration. Layer 3 routing, OSPF, and BGP (license-dependent), full VLAN, QoS, and ACL policy sets are supported. EPSR and G.8032 ring protection deliver high-speed fault recovery for ring-based campus distribution designs. The FIPS 140-2 certification and broad regulatory compliance (UL, cUL, FCC Class A, VCCI, ICES-003, EN55032 Class A) make this switch suitable for environments with strict security and emissions requirements. The -B01 bundle includes a 1-year Allied Telesis NCP (Network Coverage Plus) service agreement, providing hardware replacement and software support coverage from date of purchase. The chassis weighs 12.35 lb in a 1U x 17.4" x 16.6" form factor. Order the AT-X530DP-52GHXM-B01 from Creation Networks.

Key Features

Typical Applications

• High-density Wi-Fi 6/6E deployments requiring mixed PoE+ and PoE++ port availability on a single access layer switch for tri-band APs alongside legacy endpoints.
• Enterprise campus wiring closets powering mixed-class PoE endpoints including IP cameras, VoIP phones, APs, and 802.3bt high-power devices from a single platform.
• Multi-building campus VCStack distributions where the x530DP acts as a distributed access layer member connected over VCStack-LD fiber links.
• Government and federal agency access layer deployments where FIPS 140-2, TAA compliance, and AMF zero-touch provisioning are required.
• Healthcare and education environments deploying high-density Wi-Fi 6E and IoT device infrastructure requiring varied per-port power classes and multi-gigabit uplink bandwidth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the "DP" in x530DP mean?

DP stands for Dense PoE Plus. It designates the highest PoE port density variant in the x530 Series, combining 24 x PoE+ (802.3at, up to 30 W) and 16 x PoE++ (802.3bt, up to 90 W) ports on a single platform, enabling mixed-class PoE deployments without separate switches for different power requirements.

Q: What does the -B01 suffix mean on the AT-X530DP-52GHXM-B01?

The -B01 suffix indicates the product is bundled with a 1-year Allied Telesis NCP (Network Coverage Plus) service agreement, which provides hardware replacement and software support coverage. Without the bundle, the base model SKU would be AT-X530DP-52GHXM.

Q: How many PoE watts are available per port on the multi-gigabit ports?

The 16 x multi-gigabit ports (100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G-T) support 802.3bt PoE++ with up to 90 W per port, suitable for powering Wi-Fi 6E tri-band access points, high-resolution PTZ cameras, and other high-draw edge devices.

Q: How many units can be stacked in a VCStack configuration?

Up to eight x530 Series units can be combined in a VCStack, the largest stack size in the x530 line. VCStack-LD additionally supports stack formation over fiber links between physically separate locations such as different buildings on a campus.

Q: Does the AT-X530DP-52GHXM-B01 support FIPS 140-2?

Yes. The x530DP-52GHXM is certified to FIPS 140-2, meeting federal information security standards for cryptographic modules. This makes it eligible for government and federal agency deployments with FIPS compliance requirements.

Q: What is the total PoE budget of this switch?

The AT-X530DP-52GHXM-B01 has a total PoE budget of 1,480 W across all 40 PoE-capable ports, providing substantial power headroom for fully populated mixed-class deployments.
