Allied Telesis AT-XS916MXS-10 – 12-Port SFP+ 10G Stackable Switch
Product Overview
The Allied Telesis XS916MXS 10G SFP+ stackable switch delivers cost-effective, high-density fiber connectivity for enterprise server and storage environments. Designed for the XS900MX series, this 1U managed Layer 3 switch provides 12 SFP/SFP+ slots for 10G fiber uplinks combined with 4 copper 100/1000/10GBase-T RJ-45 ports — making it the ideal 10G core aggregation switch or enterprise campus access layer switch. IT managers seeking a high-port-density 10G fiber switch with VCStack support will find the AT-XS916MXS-10 well suited to wiring closet and data center edge deployments.
Product Description
The AT-XS916MXS-10 is part of Allied Telesis's XS900MX series, purpose-built for enterprise networks that require dense 10G fiber connectivity in a compact 1U form factor. With 12 SFP/SFP+ expansion slots supporting both 1G SFP and 10G SFP+ transceivers, this switch accommodates a broad range of fiber media — including single-mode and multimode — for flexible campus and data center cabling. Four integrated 100/1000/10GBase-T RJ-45 ports provide copper connectivity for servers, storage, or upstream aggregation switches. The Allied Telesis Management Framework (AMF) simplifies day-to-day operations through centralized management, auto-backup, auto-upgrade, auto-provisioning, and auto-recovery, reducing reliance on specialized network engineering staff. VCStack technology allows two XS900MX switches to operate as a single logical unit via 10G SFP+ direct-attach cables, provisioning up to 28 x 10G ports in a single rack unit with automatic failover. EPSRing protection creates resilient ring topologies with recovery in under 50ms, supporting high-availability enterprise deployments. Layer 3 switching enables IP routing between VLANs without a separate router. Available from Creation Networks, the AT-XS916MXS-10 is backed by Allied Telesis's enterprise support programs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is the difference between the AT-XS916MXS-10 and the AT-XS916MXT-10?
- The AT-XS916MXS-10 has 12 SFP/SFP+ fiber slots and 4 copper RJ-45 ports, making it the fiber-dominant model. The AT-XS916MXT-10 reverses this with 12 copper RJ-45 ports and 4 SFP/SFP+ slots, suited for copper-centric deployments.
- Q: Can I use 1G SFP transceivers in the SFP+ slots?
- Yes. The 12 expansion slots support both 1G SFP and 10G SFP+ transceivers, giving you backward compatibility with existing 1G fiber infrastructure.
- Q: How does VCStack work on the XS916MXS?
- Two AT-XS916MXS or AT-XS916MXT switches can be connected via 10G SFP+ direct-attach cables to form a VCStack. The two physical units appear as a single logical switch with up to 28 x 10G ports, managed from one IP address with automatic failover.
- Q: Does this switch support IP routing between VLANs?
- Yes. The AT-XS916MXS-10 supports Layer 3 switching, enabling inter-VLAN routing without requiring a separate router in the network path.
- Q: What management tools are available?
- The switch runs Allied Telesis Management Framework (AMF), which provides centralized management, auto-backup, auto-upgrade, auto-provisioning, and auto-recovery across the entire AMF network. CLI, SNMP, and web GUI access are also supported.
- Q: Is the AT-XS916MXS-10 suitable for a small data center?
- Yes. Its 12-port SFP+ density makes it well suited as a top-of-rack switch connecting servers and storage in a small to mid-size data center or as an aggregation switch in a larger enterprise campus.
