Allied Telesis X530L-28GPX-J90 – JITC TAA PoE+ L3 Stackable Switch

Overview

The Allied Telesis X530L-28GPX-J90 is a JITC-certified, TAA-compliant Layer 3 stackable switch engineered for secure government and DoD network deployments. It provides 24 PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet access ports with a total PoE budget of approximately 370W, plus four 10GbE SFP+ uplinks for high-bandwidth connectivity to aggregation or core switches. The -J90 suffix designates both JITC certification and TAA compliance, satisfying the security and procurement requirements of U.S. Department of Defense and federal agency networks. AlliedWare Plus OS, VCStack stacking, and AMF management are included, providing a full enterprise feature set within a security-hardened platform.

Description

The X530L-28GPX-J90 addresses the specific network infrastructure requirements of Department of Defense installations, intelligence community facilities, and other federal agencies operating under strict security compliance mandates. JITC (Joint Interoperability Test Command) certification confirms that the switch has been tested and approved for use on DoD networks, meeting interoperability and security standards required for classified and sensitive network environments.

All 24 copper ports deliver IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (up to 30W per port) with a total PoE budget of approximately 370W, supporting IP phones, security cameras, wireless access points, and other powered devices without requiring separate power injectors or dedicated power circuits. Four SFP+ uplink ports provide 10GbE connectivity to the distribution or core layer, ensuring uplinks are not a bottleneck even under full PoE load.

AlliedWare Plus delivers the Layer 3 routing, VLAN segmentation, QoS, and access control features required in mission-critical environments. VCStack allows multiple X530L units to be logically combined, while AMF provides automated provisioning and network-wide management — reducing the operational burden on military and government IT staff managing distributed installations.
