Allied Telesis SFP 10/100/1000T POE+ PCIE ADAPTER TAA - AT-2914GP/SP-901

Allied Telesis AT-2914GP/SP-901 PCIe PoE+ Gigabit Adapter with SFP

Overview

The AT-2914GP/SP-901 is a PCIe network adapter from Allied Telesis that combines a single 10/100/1000T copper port with PoE+ (802.3at) power delivery and a companion SFP slot on one half-height card. Deploying a powered endpoint — an IP camera, access control reader, or VoIP handset — without running a separate power circuit is the core problem this card solves. Install it in any available PCIe slot in a server, workstation, or embedded system, and the copper port can deliver up to 30W to a connected 802.3at device while the SFP slot handles an uplink or a second network segment. The "-901" suffix designates the TAA-compliant version, satisfying Trade Agreements Act requirements for US federal and government-funded deployments. Where procurement rules require TAA compliance on every active network component, the AT-2914GP/SP-901 is the correct SKU to specify.

Compatibility

The AT-2914GP/SP-901 fits standard PCIe x1 (or wider) slots and is compatible with Windows Server, Linux, and major hypervisor environments that support standard Marvell/Yukon or similar GbE controller drivers. The SFP cage accepts standard 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, and 1000BASE-T SFP modules — verify the specific supported transceiver list against Allied Telesis published compatibility tables for this adapter before ordering SFPs. The PoE+ copper port is compatible with any 802.3at or 802.3af powered device; the port auto-negotiates power class, so 802.3af devices draw only what they need without manual configuration. This adapter is not a managed switch — it provides no VLAN, QoS, or per-port power scheduling features; those require a managed PoE switch upstream or inline with this card.

Installation Notes

Install into a PCIe x1 or larger slot with the system powered off. The host system power supply must have sufficient headroom to support both the card's own PCIe bus draw and the PoE+ budget delivered to connected devices — account for up to 30W per PoE+ port plus the adapter's own PCIe power draw when sizing the host PSU. A low-profile bracket may be required for 1U rack-mount or SFF chassis; confirm bracket availability with your reseller prior to installation.
