Allied Telesis AT-X930-52GPX-901 – 48-Port PoE+ Layer 3 Stackable Switch

Product Overview

The Allied Telesis AT-X930-52GPX-901 is a 48-port 10/100/1000T PoE+ Layer 3 stackable switch with four SFP+ 10G uplinks, purpose-built for enterprise distribution and campus core deployments. This is the standard single-PSU variant of the x930-52GPX platform — distinct from the dual-PSU AT-X930-52GPX-B1 and the JITC-certified AT-X930-52GPX-J90 — making it the right choice for environments that require full-featured Layer 3 switching without the added cost of redundant power or federal compliance overhead. Running Allied Telesis AlliedWare Plus, it delivers carrier-class resiliency at a price point suited for mid-to-large enterprise networks. Available from Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.

Product Description

The Allied Telesis x930-52GPX-901 is powered by AlliedWare Plus, a hardened network operating system that provides comprehensive IPv4/IPv6 routing, advanced QoS, and granular access control policies. With 48 ports of IEEE 802.3at PoE+ delivering up to 30W per port and a 370W PoE power budget, the switch can simultaneously power IP phones, wireless access points, and IoT devices across an entire floor. The four SFP+ 10 Gigabit uplinks connect seamlessly to core switches or data center aggregation layers. Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack) allows up to eight x930 units to be combined into a single logical switch with up to 160 Gbps of stacking bandwidth, eliminating spanning tree complexity and enabling hitless failover. For distributed campus environments, VCStack LD extends stacking over long-distance fiber links. The Allied Telesis Management Framework (AMF) simplifies network-wide operations by enabling zero-touch provisioning, centralized configuration backups, and automated node recovery — managing the entire wired and wireless estate as a single virtual device. EPSRing (Ethernet Protection Switched Ring) provides sub-50ms ring failover for resilient access-layer connectivity. Advanced security features include tri-authentication (802.1X, MAC-based, and web authentication), dynamic ARP inspection, IP source guard, and loop guard. The -901 suffix designates the standard single internal power supply configuration; customers requiring hot-swap redundant PSU capability should consider the AT-X930-52GPX-B1 variant.

Key Features

• 4 x SFP+ 10 Gigabit Uplinks — High-bandwidth fiber uplinks to core or data center switches.
• AlliedWare Plus OS — Feature-rich network OS with full IPv4/IPv6 Layer 3 routing, BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, and VRRP.
• VCStack (up to 8 units) — Logical single-switch stacking with 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth and near-hitless failover.
• Allied Telesis Management Framework (AMF) — Zero-touch provisioning, automated backup, and centralized single-pane management for wired and wireless networks.
• EPSRing Resilient Ring Protocol — Sub-50ms failover for ring topology deployments; also supports G.8032 ERPS.
• Tri-Authentication — IEEE 802.1X, MAC-based, and web-based authentication for comprehensive endpoint access control.

Typical Applications

• Enterprise campus distribution and aggregation layer switching
• Network core for mid-size organizations with high PoE device density
• Multi-floor wired and wireless convergence with AMF-managed AP infrastructure
• VCStack deployments requiring up to 8-unit logical chassis without external stack cables
• Organizations needing full Layer 3 routing (BGP, OSPF) at the distribution layer

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the total PoE power budget on the AT-X930-52GPX-901?

The AT-X930-52GPX-901 provides a 370W total PoE budget across all 48 ports, with up to 30W per port under IEEE 802.3at (PoE+). Budget allocation is dynamic, so actual per-port delivery depends on total concurrent load.

Q: How does the -901 variant differ from the AT-X930-52GPX-B1 and AT-X930-52GPX-J90?

The -901 has a single internal power supply. The -B1 variant includes dual hot-swappable load-sharing power supplies for redundant power without an external RPS. The -J90 variant carries JITC certification for Department of Defense and federal networks. If PSU redundancy or DoD compliance is required, choose the appropriate variant.

Q: Can the x930-52GPX be stacked with other x930 models?

Yes. VCStack supports up to eight x930 Series switches in a single logical stack, delivering up to 160 Gbps of stacking bandwidth per unit. VCStack LD extends stacking over long-distance fiber for distributed campus architectures.

Q: Does the AT-X930-52GPX-901 support full Layer 3 routing protocols?

Yes. Running AlliedWare Plus, the switch supports OSPFv2/v3, BGP-4, IS-IS, RIP, VRRP, PIM, and full IPv6 routing — making it suitable for distribution and core roles in routed enterprise networks.

Q: What management capabilities does AMF provide?

Allied Telesis Management Framework (AMF) allows the entire network to be managed as a single logical device. It provides zero-touch provisioning, automated configuration backup, single-step software upgrades across all nodes, and supports integration with the Wireless Manager for unified wired and wireless management.

Q: Is the AT-X930-52GPX-901 suitable for DoD or federal deployments?

This specific SKU does not carry JITC certification. For DoD and federal environments requiring JITC compliance, the AT-X930-52GPX-J90 is the correct variant.

Q: Where can I purchase the AT-X930-52GPX-901?
