PRODUCT INFORMATION
Next generation intelligent Layer 3+ chassis switches
The Allied Telesis SwitchBlade x8100 Series of advanced Layer 3+ chassis
switches are available in 6 and 12 slot models. The CFC400 based system
delivers high availability, wirespeed performance, and a high port count.
Advanced features provide the ideal solution for the modern enterprise
network, where resiliency, reliability and high performance are the key
requirements.
SwitchBlade x8100 Series switches provide
a high performing scalable solution, with
an extensive range of connectivity options.
Dual CFC400 control cards provide
resiliency. Gigabit and 10 Gigabit line card
options ensure a system capable of meeting
the requirements of today’s networks, and
the flexibility to expand when required.

Powerful network management
The Allied Telesis Management Framework
(AMF) meets the increased management
requirements of modern converged
networks, automating many everyday tasks
including configuration management. AMF
has powerful centralized management
features that manage a complete network
as a single virtual device. The network can
be expanded with plug-and-play simplicity,
and network node recovery is fully zero-
touch.

Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)
SwitchBlade x8100 Series switches support
IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (30W) allowing you
to future-proof your
network. The greater
power supplied by PoE+ supports
applications such as pan, tilt and zoom IP
surveillance cameras, IP video phones, and
wireless access points.

Environmentally friendly
SwitchBlade x8100 Series switches are
designed to reduce power consumption
and minimize hazardous waste. Features
include high efficiency
power supplies and low
power chip sets. An ECO-
Switch button on the front panel allows
additional power conservation, by turning
off all diagnostic LED indicators when they
are not required.
