Allied Telesis L2+ MANAGED 16 X 10/100/1000MBPS 2 X SFP UPLINK 1 FIXED AC POWER - AT-GS970M/18-10

Allied Telesis AT-GS970M/18-10 L2+ Managed Gigabit Switch

Overview

The AT-GS970M/18-10 is Allied Telesis's 18-port L2+ managed switch delivering 16 x 10/100/1000Mbps copper ports plus 2 x SFP uplink slots — purpose-built for small-to-mid commercial deployments where VLAN segmentation, QoS prioritization, and a fiber uplink path matter but a full L3 routing feature set is unnecessary overhead. A single fixed AC power supply keeps the footprint compact and the bill of materials lean for installations where power redundancy is not a requirement. This is the right fit for an access-layer switch feeding IP cameras, access control panels, or VoIP endpoints back to a distribution switch via SFP fiber uplink.

Compatibility

The AT-GS970M/18-10 operates as a standard IEEE 802.3 Gigabit Ethernet switch and integrates with Allied Telesis's broader GS970M series management ecosystem. The 2 x SFP uplink slots accept standard SFP transceivers — single-mode, multimode, or copper SFP modules — for flexible uplink distances. As an L2+ managed switch, it is compatible with any ONVIF-compliant IP camera, PoE injector downstream, or endpoint device presenting standard 802.3 Ethernet. It fits into mixed-vendor network architectures alongside NVRs, VMS servers, and access control head-end equipment from any manufacturer.

Installation Notes

This unit ships with a fixed US AC power supply — confirm local voltage compatibility before installation in non-US deployments. SFP modules are sold separately; select transceivers rated for your fiber type and run distance. The switch does not provide PoE natively — if downstream IP cameras or access control readers require PoE, pair this unit with a dedicated PoE switch or midspan injectors at the edge. Rack-mount or desktop installation options are typical for the GS970M form factor; confirm bracket availability for your enclosure if rack-mounting. For managed VLAN and QoS configuration guidance relevant to IP security deployments, consult the network switch selection resources available for the Allied Telesis product line.
