Allied Telesis AT-X930-52GPX-J90 – 48-Port PoE+ JITC Layer 3 Switch

Product Overview

The Allied Telesis x930 JITC PoE+ switch (AT-X930-52GPX-J90) is a 48-port Gigabit Layer 3 stackable switch engineered for government and defense networks requiring JITC compliance. With 48 x 10/100/1000Base-T PoE+ ports and 4 SFP+ 10G uplinks, it provides the port density and uplink capacity needed for enterprise campus distribution and government facility access layers. This Allied Telesis JITC compliant switch ships with the AT-PWR250-J90 power supply and meets U.S. Department of Defense Joint Interoperability Test Command certification requirements.

Product Description

The AT-X930-52GPX-J90 is part of Allied Telesis's x930 Series — a line of advanced Gigabit Layer 3 stackable switches designed for high-availability distribution and core network roles. As a government gigabit PoE switch with JITC certification, this unit is procurable on government contracts and suitable for deployment in classified and sensitive network environments. The switch delivers 48 IEEE 802.3at PoE+ ports capable of powering IP phones, 802.11ac/ax access points, and IP surveillance cameras while simultaneously handling Layer 3 routing. Four SFP+ uplink slots support 10GBase-SR, 10GBase-LR, and DAC connections for high-bandwidth aggregation uplinks to core switches or routers. Using Allied Telesis VCStack technology, up to eight x930 units can be stacked with up to 160 Gbps of stacking bandwidth per switch, creating a logical single management plane across the stack. The 48-port JITC Layer 3 switch also supports Allied Telesis Autonomous Management Framework (AMF), which automates network-wide configuration, backup, and recovery — reducing operational burden for government IT teams managing distributed facilities. EPSRing and G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection ensure loop-free, sub-50ms failover for ring-based network topologies. The x930-52GPX-J90 x930 JITC enterprise switch integrates with Vista Manager EX for centralized wired and wireless network visibility. Continuous PoE ensures powered devices maintain power during switch stack failover events, critical in environments operating VoIP or physical security infrastructure.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does JITC compliance mean for this switch?

JITC (Joint Interoperability Test Command) certification verifies that the AT-X930-52GPX-J90 meets U.S. Department of Defense interoperability and security standards. It is required for procurement on many DoD contracts and is suitable for deployment in government and defense networks.

Q: How many switches can be stacked using VCStack?

Up to eight x930 units can be stacked using Allied Telesis VCStack technology, with up to 160 Gbps of stacking bandwidth per switch. VCStack LD (Long Distance) also allows stack members to connect over fiber links for distributed campus deployments.

Q: Is this switch compatible with other Allied Telesis x930 Series models?

Yes. The AT-X930-52GPX-J90 is compatible with other x930 Series switches within a VCStack configuration. It also integrates with Allied Telesis AMF networks and Vista Manager EX for unified management alongside other AMF-compatible Allied Telesis devices.

Q: What SFP+ transceivers are compatible with the 10G uplink ports?

The four SFP+ ports support Allied Telesis-branded 10GBase-SR, 10GBase-LR, 10GBase-ER, and 10GBase-T modules, as well as compatible direct-attach copper (DAC) cables. Allied Telesis recommends using certified transceivers to ensure full compatibility and warranty support.

Q: Does the switch support redundant power supplies?

Yes. The x930-52GPX platform supports modular, hot-swappable power supplies. Dual load-sharing PSUs can be installed for redundancy, ensuring continued operation if one supply fails — critical for government and defense environments with strict uptime requirements.

Q: What warranty does this product carry?

Allied Telesis products are covered by a limited lifetime hardware warranty. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net for warranty details, TAA compliance documentation, and government purchasing options.

Q: Where can I purchase the AT-X930-52GPX-J90?
