Network switch Allied Telesis AT-GS950/28PSV2-50 — 24x PoE+ ports, 4x SFP, Gigabit Websmart

The Allied Telesis AT-GS950/28PSV2-50 is a Gigabit Websmart network switch that integrates 24 PoE+ ports and 4 SFP uplink ports to support wired and fiber-based connectivity. Built for small to medium business environments, the switch delivers Gigabit data rates on copper ports while supplying power over Ethernet to endpoints such as IP phones, wireless access points and network cameras. Websmart management offers a balance between simple configuration and useful switching features to centralize device power and traffic aggregation.

Advantages

This switch provides simultaneous data and power delivery across 24 PoE+ ports, reducing the need for separate power supplies at end devices and simplifying cabling. Four SFP uplinks enable flexible fiber connections for network extension or aggregation. Gigabit copper ports ensure high throughput for desktop and edge devices, while Websmart management allows VLAN, QoS and basic monitoring without the complexity of a full managed switch. The compact rack-friendly form factor and passive cooling support deployment in typical office networking racks.

Suitable for

• Powering and connecting IP phones in business VoIP deployments
• Providing PoE to wireless access points for centralized Wi‑Fi installations
• Connecting PoE security cameras and edge surveillance systems
• Uplink aggregation to core switches or fiber distribution using SFP modules
• Small to medium business network edge or wiring closet installations

Key specifications

• 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ capability on each port
• 4 SFP uplink slots for fiber or SFP copper modules
• Websmart management interface with VLAN and QoS features
• Support for power over Ethernet to feed endpoints directly
• Rack-mountable metal enclosure suitable for network racks

How to use

Install the switch in a standard 19-inch rack or place it on a stable surface near your network aggregation point. Connect upstream network or core switch using the SFP uplink modules or a Gigabit copper uplink port. Attach endpoints such as IP phones, wireless access points and PoE cameras to the Gigabit PoE+ ports; the switch will negotiate power delivery with compatible devices. Access the Websmart management interface through a browser to configure VLANs, QoS policies and basic monitoring parameters. Ensure proper ventilation and connect the switch to an appropriate AC power source before powering up.

Usage recommendations

Plan PoE budget according to the power class of connected devices and avoid overcommitting total available power. Use SFP fiber links for longer-distance uplinks or to isolate traffic to core switches. Regularly update switch firmware and document VLAN and QoS settings to maintain predictable network behaviour.
