Allied Telesis X510L-52GT-90 L3 SW 48 10/100/1000 BASE-T PO

Product Overview

The Allied Telesis AT-X510L-52GT-90 is a cost-optimized Layer 3 gigabit switch delivering 48x 10/100/1000Base-T ports and 4x SFP/SFP+ uplink slots in a 1U rack-mountable chassis. As part of the x510L series — the lite, edge-optimized variant of the full x510 platform — this Allied Telesis x510L 48-port gigabit Layer 3 switch provides network engineers with stackable resiliency via VCStack, AMF management automation, and a comprehensive security feature set at a price point suited to distributed enterprise access and mid-market deployments. IT managers evaluating 48-port managed Layer 3 switches with 10G-capable SFP+ uplinks and TAA compliance will find the X510L-52GT-90 a well-rounded choice for today’s networks.

Product Description

The AT-X510L-52GT-90 belongs to the Allied Telesis x510L series, a network edge switch line derived from the full-featured x510 platform but optimized for cost-effective high-density access deployments. All 48 copper ports support auto-negotiating 10/100/1000Base-T connectivity, while the 4 SFP expansion slots support both standard SFP (1G) and SFP+ (10G) optics, delivering up to 10 Gigabit uplinks to distribution or core infrastructure. VCStack (Virtual Chassis Stacking) capability allows up to four x510L units to be stacked together, expanding port density and eliminating single points of failure without complex spanning tree configurations. Allied Telesis Autonomous Management Framework (AMF) automates configuration backup, zero-touch node recovery, and plug-and-play network growth, significantly reducing operational overhead in distributed environments. The x510L-52GT runs AlliedWare Plus, providing an industry-standard CLI, web GUI, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, and IPv6 readiness for future-proof networking. Security is enforced through Network Access Control (NAC), 802.1x port-based authentication, tri-authentication, loop guard, and comprehensive ACLs protecting against unauthorized access and misconfiguration. The -90 TAA-compliant designation qualifies the switch for U.S. government and public sector procurement. Rack-mountable in a 1U form factor (17.3" W x 12.8" D x 1.7" H), weighing 14.99 lb. Available from Creation Networks with Allied Telesis-authorized pre-sales and post-sales support.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the x510L and the x510 series?

The x510L (Lite) is a cost-optimized variant of the full x510 series designed for network edge deployments. The full x510 includes additional features such as dual hot-swappable power supplies and enhanced resiliency options suited to data center environments. The x510L delivers the core x510 feature set at a lower price point for access-layer deployments.

Q: Does the AT-X510L-52GT-90 support PoE?

No. The AT-X510L-52GT-90 does not provide PoE or PoE+ on its copper ports. If PoE is required, consider an Allied Telesis x510 PoE-capable model or a separate PoE injector. Contact Creation Networks for guidance.

Q: How many units can be stacked using VCStack?

Up to 4 x510L units can be stacked using VCStack, combining port density and providing resilient, loop-free switching without spanning tree complexity.

Q: What SFP+ speeds are supported in the uplink slots?

The 4 expansion slots accept both standard 1G SFP optics and 10G SFP+ optics, providing up to 40Gbps of dedicated uplink capacity when all four slots use 10G transceivers.

Q: Is the AT-X510L-52GT-90 TAA compliant?

Yes. The -90 suffix designates TAA compliance, meeting U.S. Trade Agreements Act requirements for government, education, and federal procurement.

Q: Where can I purchase the AT-X510L-52GT-90?

Available from Creation Networks, an authorized Allied Telesis reseller providing pre-sales engineering support and post-sales service.
