The NETGEAR M4250-8G2XF-POE+ Managed Switch is purpose-built for the unique demands of AV over IP environments. With eight Gigabit Ethernet ports supporting PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus), this switch can deliver up to 30W per port, making it ideal for powering AV devices such as cameras, speakers, and wireless access points directly through the network cable. This reduces the need for additional power supplies, simplifying the installation process and enhancing flexibility in system design.

In addition to its PoE+ capabilities, the M4250-8G2XF-POE+ includes two SFP+ ports that offer 10Gbps uplink speeds, providing robust connectivity options for high-bandwidth data transfer between switches or to core network devices. These SFP+ uplinks are essential in large AV setups where rapid data transfer and low latency are crucial.

Optimized for AV over IP, the switch comes with pre-configured AV profiles that can be applied with just a few clicks, ensuring that the switch is ready for specific AV protocols and configurations without the need for extensive manual setup. This feature is particularly beneficial for AV professionals who need to deploy reliable and efficient network systems quickly.

The advanced Quality of Service (QoS) settings on the M4250-8G2XF-POE+ prioritize AV traffic, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted transmission of audio and video data streams. This prioritization is critical in scenarios where timing and reliability are non-negotiable, such as in live event streaming, digital signage, or video conferencing.

Management is made easy with a full suite of network control features, including VLAN support, traffic monitoring, and security settings. Whether you are managing a single switch or an entire network, the intuitive interface and powerful management tools provide the flexibility and control needed to optimize performance.

Designed with silent operation in mind, the fanless architecture of the M4250-8G2XF-POE+ is perfect for noise-sensitive environments such as studios, theaters, or conference rooms. This quiet design ensures that the switch can be installed close to the AV equipment without introducing unwanted noise.

The NETGEAR M4250-8G2XF-POE+ is not just a switch; it's a highly specialized tool for AV professionals who require a network infrastructure that can handle the specific needs of AV over IP deployments. Whether you're setting up a small to medium-sized AV system or scaling up to a more extensive deployment, this switch provides the performance, flexibility, and reliability that are essential for success in modern AV installations.
