Allied Telesis AT-X530DP-28GHXM – 24-Port PoE++ Multi-Gigabit Layer 3 Switch (No Bundle)

Product Overview

The Allied Telesis AT-X530DP-28GHXM is the standalone version of the x530DP 24-port PoE++ multi-gigabit Layer 3 switch, sold without an NCP software subscription. It is hardware-identical to the AT-X530DP-28GHXM-B01 but does not include the 1-year Network Coverage Program bundle, making it the lower-cost entry point for organizations that manage software support separately or through an existing NCP agreement. Like the -B01 variant, it provides 802.3bt PoE++ at up to 60W per port with a 1480W total PoE budget — far exceeding the 740W of the 802.3at PoE+ GPXM model — along with 4 multi-gigabit ports and 4 SFP+ 10G uplinks.

Product Description

The AT-X530DP-28GHXM provides the full PoE++ power density of the x530DP platform without the added cost of a bundled NCP subscription. Organizations already holding an enterprise NCP agreement, or those purchasing software support through a separate channel, can acquire the x530DP hardware at a lower unit cost and apply their own coverage terms. The switch delivers 802.3bt PoE++ on all 24 copper ports: 20 ports at 10/100/1000Base-T PoE++ and 4 ports at multi-gigabit 100M/1G/2.5G/5G PoE++. The 1480W PoE budget supports simultaneous full-power operation of high-draw endpoints including PTZ cameras (typical 25–45W), 802.3bt Wi-Fi 6E APs (up to 60W), and industrial IoT devices. This is not a PoE+ switch. The PoE standard here is 802.3bt (PoE++), not 802.3at (PoE+) as found on the AT-X530-28GPXM-B11. This distinction matters when sizing power budgets and selecting compatible endpoints. Four SFP+ uplinks provide 10G fiber or DAC connectivity to the distribution layer. VCStack supports stacking up to 8 units locally or over long-distance fiber for a resilient virtual chassis, while AMF enables zero-touch provisioning and centralized configuration management. Dual hot-swappable power supplies ensure operational continuity during supply maintenance. The switch supports FIPS 140-2, full IPv4/IPv6 Layer 3 routing, OpenFlow SDN, EPSRing, and tri-authentication. Order from creationnetworks.net.

Key Features

• 802.3bt PoE++ on All 24 Copper Ports — Up to 60W per port; 1480W total PoE budget. Hardware-identical to the -B01 but without the NCP bundle.
• No NCP Bundle — Standalone hardware SKU; ideal for organizations with existing NCP agreements or separate software procurement.
• 4x Multi-Gigabit PoE++ Ports (100M/1G/2.5G/5G-T) — High-speed copper access with full 802.3bt power delivery.
• 4x SFP+ 10G Uplinks — Fiber or DAC connectivity to distribution layer.
• Dual Hot-Swappable Power Supplies — Maintain uptime; support elevated PoE budgets versus non-DP x530 models.
• VCStack (up to 8 units) — Local or long-distance fiber stacking.
• AMF (Autonomous Management Framework) — Zero-touch provisioning and automated network management.
• FIPS 140-2 Validated — Cryptographic security for regulated network environments.

Typical Applications

• Enterprise access layer with high-wattage 802.3bt APs and PTZ IP cameras
• Organizations with existing NCP or software agreements purchasing hardware-only
• Surveillance-dense environments requiring 45–60W per port PoE++
• Government and industrial networks needing FIPS 140-2 validated switching
• Distributed campus deployments using VCStack LD over long-distance fiber

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between AT-X530DP-28GHXM and AT-X530DP-28GHXM-B01?

They are hardware-identical. The -B01 SKU includes a 1-year NCP (Network Coverage Program) software subscription covering AlliedWare Plus licenses, firmware updates, priority support, and advance hardware replacement. The AT-X530DP-28GHXM has no NCP bundle and is priced lower. Choose the no-bundle SKU if your organization holds an existing NCP agreement or purchases software separately.

Q: Is this switch PoE+ or PoE++?

This switch is 802.3bt PoE++ (up to 60W per port, 1480W total budget). It is not 802.3at PoE+. If 802.3at (30W per port, 740W budget) is sufficient, the AT-X530-28GPXM-B11 is the lower-cost option.

Q: Can I add NCP coverage to the no-bundle SKU after purchase?

Yes. NCP subscriptions can be purchased separately from Allied Telesis or an authorized reseller such as creationnetworks.net at any time after the initial hardware purchase.

Q: Does this switch support JITC?

No. JITC certification applies only to the AT-X530-28GTXM-J90. The x530DP models are certified under FIPS 140-2, UL, FCC Class A, and other commercial and federal standards, but are not JITC listed.

Q: What endpoints require PoE++ rather than PoE+?

Typical devices requiring more than 30W include 802.3bt Wi-Fi 6E access points (up to 60W), PTZ cameras with heaters and high-speed motors (30–50W), 4K multi-sensor IP cameras, and certain industrial IoT controllers.

Q: How does VCStack LD work on this switch?

VCStack Long Distance (LD) allows stacking over standard fiber uplinks rather than dedicated stacking cables. This enables resilient virtual chassis configurations across buildings or campus locations using existing fiber infrastructure.

Q: Where can I purchase the AT-X530DP-28GHXM?

Order from creationnetworks.net, an authorized Allied Telesis reseller.
