Allied Telesis AT-X530L-52GPX-10 – 48-Port PoE+ Layer 3 Switch Dual PSU

Product Overview

The Allied Telesis x530L 48-port PoE+ Layer 3 stackable switch with dual PSU (AT-X530L-52GPX-10) delivers enterprise-class access-layer switching with a 740 W PoE+ budget, 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks, and dual fixed power supplies for built-in power redundancy. As a member of the cost-optimized x530L series, it provides a full AlliedWare Plus feature set in a fixed-configuration form factor suited to campus distribution and high-density wired access deployments. VCStack technology allows up to four units to be combined into a single logical switch, simplifying management and scaling port capacity without additional overhead. Available from Creation Networks, this switch is a proven choice for organizations requiring PoE+ reliability with hardware-level power failover.

Product Description

The AT-X530L-52GPX-10 is the 52-port PoE+ model in Allied Telesis’ x530L series — a fixed-configuration, cost-optimized variant of the full x530 platform. Where the x530 series offers expansion module slots, the x530L delivers a streamlined fixed-port design with the same AlliedWare Plus operating system and enterprise management capabilities. The 48 x 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports each supply up to 30 W under IEEE 802.3at, providing a combined PoE budget of 740 W when both fixed power supplies are active. This dual-PSU architecture is a key differentiator: if one power supply fails, the second continues to power the switch and all connected PoE devices without interruption, eliminating a critical single point of failure in access-layer deployments. The four 1/10G SFP+ uplink ports support both fiber and DAC connections, providing flexible aggregation paths to the distribution or core layer. VCStack technology enables up to four x530L switches to be combined into a single logical stack, allowing administrators to manage a large access-tier deployment as one device and eliminating per-switch management overhead. Long-distance stacking (VCStack LD) extends this capability over fiber, making the x530L-52GPX suitable for distributed campus buildings. Allied Telesis EPSRing and G.8032 ERPS provide fast-failover ring protection for campus backbone networks, and Continuous PoE (with optional license) ensures that endpoint devices remain powered even during a switch firmware upgrade. The AlliedWare Plus OS delivers a consistent CLI and feature set familiar to Allied Telesis network engineers, and AMF Plus integration enables automated provisioning, configuration backup, and zero-touch recovery across the entire network.

Key Features

• 48 x 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports — Each port delivers up to 30 W (IEEE 802.3at), with a combined 740 W PoE budget across the switch.
• Dual fixed power supplies — Built-in hardware redundancy ensures continuous PoE and switch operation if one PSU fails, with no external redundant PSU module required.
• 4 x 1/10G SFP+ uplinks — Support for fiber and direct-attach copper (DAC) cables for flexible, high-bandwidth aggregation to core or distribution switches.
• VCStack up to 4 units — Logical stacking consolidates multiple switches into a single management plane, with stacking ports doubling as 1G/10G Ethernet ports when not in a stack.
• x530L fixed-configuration design — Cost-optimized versus the modular x530, offering the same AlliedWare Plus OS without expansion module slots — ideal for fixed-port access deployments.
• AlliedWare Plus operating system — Enterprise-grade OS with full Layer 3 routing, advanced QoS, security policies, and IPv6 support.
• AMF Plus management — Autonomous Management Framework automates provisioning, config backup, and fault recovery across the network.
• EPSRing and G.8032 ERPS — Sub-50 ms ring failover for high-availability campus backbone topologies.
• FIPS 140-2 and TAA compliant — Certified for US Government and DoD network deployments (JITC APL listed).
• Continuous PoE option — License-enabled feature that maintains endpoint power during switch firmware upgrades, eliminating camera and AP downtime during maintenance.

Typical Applications

• Enterprise campus access layer with high-density PoE+ requirements for wireless APs, IP phones, and PTZ security cameras
• Campus distribution switch with 10G uplinks aggregating multiple access-tier switches
• Multi-building campus deployments using VCStack LD long-distance stacking over fiber
• Government and defense network access where FIPS 140-2 and TAA compliance are mandatory
• High-availability access deployments where dual PSU failover is required without an external redundant power module

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the x530L and the x530 series?

The x530L is a cost-optimized, fixed-configuration variant of the x530 series. The x530 supports expansion module slots for adding additional port types or stacking interfaces; the x530L uses a fixed-port design without expansion modules. Both run AlliedWare Plus and support VCStack, AMF, and the same Layer 3 feature set.

Q: How does the dual PSU provide redundancy on the AT-X530L-52GPX-10?

Both power supplies operate in a load-sharing mode. If one PSU fails, the remaining unit takes over the full load automatically, maintaining power to the switch and all connected PoE+ devices without any manual intervention or downtime.

Q: What is the total PoE budget and how many ports can I power at full 30 W simultaneously?

The AT-X530L-52GPX-10 provides a 740 W PoE budget. At the maximum 30 W per port (PoE+), you can power approximately 24 ports simultaneously at full load. In practice, most devices draw less than 30 W, allowing more ports to be powered concurrently.

Q: Can the x530L-52GPX stack with x530 (non-L) switches?

Mixed stacking between x530L and x530 switches requires the AT-FL-x53L-MSTK mixed stacking license on each x530L stack member. Contact Creation Networks for licensing details.

Q: Does the AT-X530L-52GPX-10 support Continuous PoE during firmware upgrades?

Continuous PoE is supported on PoE GPX models with the AT-FL-x53L-CPOE license. This keeps endpoint devices powered throughout a firmware upgrade cycle, preventing camera or AP outages during planned maintenance.

Q: What uplink speeds do the SFP+ ports support?

The 4 x SFP+ uplink ports support 1G and 10G operation, compatible with Allied Telesis SFP+ transceivers and DAC cables for flexible connectivity to distribution or core switches.

Q: Where can I purchase the AT-X530L-52GPX-10?
