Allied Telesis AT-X950-52XTQM 48x100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G T 4 QSFP/QSFP28

Overview

The Allied Telesis AT-X950-52XTQM is a high-density, multi-gigabit Ethernet switch designed to serve as a robust backbone for demanding enterprise networks. Its 48x 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T ports provide flexible connectivity for high-performance endpoints, while the four QSFP+/QSFP28 ports offer 40Gbps/100Gbps uplinks for aggregation or core connectivity. This switch is engineered for environments requiring significant bandwidth and low latency, such as data centers, large campus networks, or advanced surveillance systems where high-resolution video streams demand substantial network throughput.

Compatibility

This switch is designed to integrate into standard IP network infrastructures. It supports common networking protocols and standards, making it compatible with a wide range of network devices including routers, firewalls, and servers from major manufacturers. For surveillance applications, its high port density and multi-gigabit capabilities ensure it can handle numerous high-resolution IP cameras and NVRs without becoming a bottleneck. It is suitable for deployment with Allied Telesis' own management platforms and third-party VMS solutions that adhere to standard network protocols.

Installation Notes

The AT-X950-52XTQM is designed for rackmount installation, typically occupying 2U of vertical space in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Ensure adequate airflow and ventilation around the unit, as high-density switching can generate significant heat. Power is supplied via a standard AC input; verify that the power source meets the switch's requirements. Cabling for the 10GBASE-T ports should be Cat6a or better for optimal performance at 10Gbps over longer distances, while QSFP+/QSFP28 ports require appropriate optical or DAC cables.
