Allied Telesis 8000S Fast Ethernet Twisted Pair Edge Switches

The Allied Telesis 8000S Series provides a low-cost, high-performance stackable Fast Ethernet solution for the network edge. Available in 24 and 48-port configurations, these switches are engineered for reliability and ease of use, featuring a compact 1RU rack-mountable design and wire-speed Layer 2 switching capabilities.

Key to the 8000S series is its resilient stacking architecture, allowing up to six units to be linked in a fault-tolerant ring topology. This simplifies management through a single IP address while providing high port density for growing enterprises. With two dedicated SFP slots, users can choose between fiber or copper uplinks at both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit speeds. PoE-enabled models further enhance flexibility by providing power to IP phones and wireless access points directly over the Ethernet cable, reducing infrastructure complexity.

Key Specifications:

• Scalability: Stack up to 6 units for simplified management and redundancy.

• PoE Support: Available on selected models to power remote network devices.

• Connectivity: 24 or 48 10/100TX ports + 2 SFP combo/uplink slots.

• Traffic Control: Advanced QoS features to ensure delivery of critical data.

• Enterprise Features: Full support for VLANs, IGMP snooping, and IEEE 802.1x security.
