CentreCOM® GS980M Series
Managed Gigabit Edge Switch
The Allied Telesis CentreCOM GS980M Series of Layer 3 Gigabit switches
enable a cost-effective and fully managed network. A high-density, space
saving solution, with Power over Ethernet (PoE+) to connect and power
devices such as video surveillance cameras and IP phones, makes the
GS980M Series ideal for applications at the network edge.
Overview
Allied Telesis GS980M Series switches
provide an excellent access solution
for today’s networks, supporting
Gigabit to the desktop for maximum
performance. Deploying the GS980M
as an AMF edge node when an AMF
Master switch is available in the
network, helps reduce network running
costs by automating and simplifying
many day-to-day administration tasks.
48 Gigabit ports and 4 SFP uplinks
enable high-density and secure
connectivity at the network edge, and
the PoE+ model can supply up to 30
Watts to powered end-points.
