GS980EM Series
Gigabit PoE++ Layer 3 Lite Managed Switches

Flexible Power over Ethernet switches with capabilities that support IoT device connectivity in today’s converged business environments.
- Enable today’s converged business networks with flexible PoE to connect and power devices such as high-resolution security cameras, wireless APs, IP phones, and more
- Flexible deployment of network edge switches and IoT devices, with PoE pass-through that powers both the edge switch and connected end-points
- Provide PoE capacity and resilience with triple external PSUs available for distribution switches, while also simplifying UPS power redundancy of the network
- Extend network layout, with IoT devices able to be connected and powered up to 200 meters from the PoE distribution source
- Reduce costs and automate network and device management with the Allied Telesis Autonomous Management Framework™ (AMF). Deploy the GS980EM Series as AMF edge nodes
Key Features
- AlliedWare Plus™ Enterprise-class operating system 90W PoE++ per port (GS980EM/10H) for high power devices, or for powering the GS980EM/11PT and its connected devices with PoE pass-through
- 30W PoE+ per port (GS980EM/11PT) for connecting and powering end devices
- Active Fiber Monitoring secures uplink connectivity
- Fanless design provides silent operation
- DIN rail or rack-mount supports flexible deployment
