CentreCOM® GS970M Series

Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switches

The Allied Telesis CentreCOM GS970M Series of Layer 3 Gigabit

switches offer an impressive set of features in a compact design,
making them ideal for applications at the network edge.

Overview

Allied Telesis CentreCOM GS970M
Series switches provide an excellent
access solution for today’s networks,
supporting Gigabit to the desktop for
maximum performance. The Power
over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) models
provide an ideal solution for connecting
and remotely powering wireless access
points, IP video surveillance cameras,
and IP phones. The GS970M models
feature 8, 16 or 24 Gigabit ports,
and 2 or 4 SFP uplinks, for secure
connectivity at the network edge.
