Allied Telesis CentreCOM GS900MX/MPX Series switches are cost-
effective, fully managed, and stackable. The switches in this series
can serve as an AMF node when an AMF Master switch is available
in the network, which helps to reduce network running costs by
automating and simplifying many day-to-day tasks.
Overview
With a choice of 24- and 48-port
10/10 0/1000T vers ion s with 10G
up link, Power over Ethernet (PoE),
plus the ability to stack up to four
units, the CentreCOM GS900MX/
GS900MPX Series switches are ideal
for demanding applications at the edge
of the network.
