Allied Telesis AT-X530DP-52GHXM – 52-Port PoE++ Layer 3 Stackable Switch

Product Overview

The Allied Telesis x530DP-52GHXM is a high-density Allied Telesis x530DP stackable PoE enterprise switch engineered for demanding enterprise campus wiring closets and distribution layers. Delivering 1,480 W of PoE++ budget across 48 ports, this Layer 3 switch is purpose-built for organizations deploying high-power IP devices at scale, including IEEE 802.3bt-compliant endpoints. As a managed enterprise PoE stackable switch with 10G uplinks, the AT-X530DP-52GHXM is an ideal foundation for converged wired and wireless network infrastructure requiring both performance and resilience.

Product Description

The AT-X530DP-52GHXM provides 24 x 10/100/1000T PoE++ ports (IEEE 802.3bt, up to 90 W per port), 16 x 10/100/1000T non-PoE access ports, 8 x combo SFP/RJ45 ports supporting up to 5 Gigabit, and 4 x SFP+ 10 Gigabit uplink expansion slots — totaling 52 physical ports. With a 1,480 W PoE budget, the switch can simultaneously power demanding devices such as multi-radio Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, IP cameras, and smart building controllers without external injectors. Layer 3 routing capabilities — including static routing, RIP, and OSPF via AlliedWare Plus — enable efficient inter-VLAN communication and distributed routing architectures. The switch supports Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack) of up to eight units, allowing the stack to appear and be managed as a single logical device for simplified operations and enhanced resiliency. Long Distance Stacking (VCStack LD) extends stacking over fiber links, making it suitable for distributed campus environments. Allied Telesis Autonomous Management Framework (AMF) enables zero-touch provisioning, automated backup and recovery, and network-wide configuration management from a single pane of glass. Vista Manager EX provides graphical monitoring and management of the entire AMF network including Autonomous Wave Control (AWC) wireless devices. Ethernet Protection Switched Ring (EPSRing) and IEEE G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection deliver sub-50ms failover for high-availability ring topologies. The AlliedWare Plus operating system underpins all switching and routing functions with enterprise-grade security including tri-authentication (802.1X, MAC-based, and web authentication), ACLs, and DHCP snooping. The AT-X530DP-52GHXM ships with 19-inch rack-mount brackets and is EU RoHS and China RoHS certified.
