Features
The Allied Telesis x530DP Series switches are stackable Gigabit,
Layer 3+ Ethernet switches. The following sections list the features:
x530DP Models Table 1 lists the basic features for the switch model.
Each switch model comes with one pre-installed fan (FAN10). The
FAN10R is an option and does not come pre-installed. The power supplies
(PWR150-AC, PWR150R-AC, PWR250-AC, PWR250-80(DC), PWR800-
AC or PWR1200-AC) and FAN10R must be purchased separately.
The x530DP Switches support the following PoE devices:
All copper ports on the switches support PoE+ IEEE 802.3at
Classes 0 to 4 devices (maximum 30.0W at the switch ports).
All copper ports on the x530DP-28GHXm Switch and ports 25 to
48 on the x530DP-52GHXm Switch support PoE++ IEEE 802.3bt
Classes 5 and 6 devices (maximum 60.0W at the switch ports).
Note
The maximum number of powered devices that the switches can
support simultaneously will depend on the power requirements of
the devices.
Twisted Pair
Ports
The 48 twisted pair ports on the x530DP-52GHXm switch have these
features:
Ports 1 to 40 support 10/100/1000Mbps operation
Ports 41 to 48 support 1/2.5/5Gbps operation
100 meters (328 feet) maximum operating distance per port
Auto-negotiation for speed
Half- and Full-duplex mode at 10/100Mbps
Full-duplex only at 1Gbps and higher speeds
