The NETGEAR M4250-16XF AV Line Managed Switch is equipped with 16 10G SFP+ fiber ports, offering high-speed, long-distance connections to AV-over-IP devices. This switch is ideal for professional AV installations where fiber connections are required for maximum bandwidth and performance. The 10G SFP+ ports ensure seamless communication between AV devices and core networks, making it perfect for large AV deployments in venues such as corporate offices, live event venues, and broadcast studios.

The M4250-16XF is specifically designed to handle the demands of AV-over-IP traffic. With features like IGMP Snooping and Multicast routing, the switch efficiently manages the distribution of audio and video streams across the network, ensuring smooth, synchronized delivery to multiple endpoints without network congestion. Its non-blocking architecture ensures full-speed data transmission on all ports, making it ideal for real-time AV applications such as video walls, live streaming, and digital signage.

Supporting both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, the M4250-16XF offers advanced features for flexible and scalable network management. Layer 2 features such as VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) allow for traffic segmentation and prioritization, ensuring optimal performance for AV data streams. Layer 3 functionalities, including dynamic routing protocols like OSPF, RIP, and VRRP, provide efficient traffic management and redundancy, making the switch suitable for complex AV infrastructures requiring high availability and scalability.

Low latency is critical for AV environments, and the M4250-16XF is designed to deliver real-time AV performance with minimal delay and jitter. This ensures that audio and video streams remain synchronized for applications like live production, interactive displays, and video conferencing. Additionally, the switch operates quietly, making it ideal for noise-sensitive environments such as recording studios, control rooms, and conference spaces.

Setting up an AV-over-IP network is made easier with the M4250-16XF’s pre-configured AV profiles. These profiles optimize the switch for various AV applications, reducing setup time and configuration complexity. AV professionals can quickly deploy high-performance networks with minimal manual configuration, ensuring that the switch is ready for immediate use in professional AV environments.

The M4250-16XF is part of NETGEAR’s modular and stackable M4250 series, allowing for easy network expansion as AV systems grow. Multiple switches can be stacked to increase port density and provide more connectivity while maintaining centralized management. This modular design ensures that the network can evolve with the needs of the AV infrastructure, providing a future-proof solution for expanding AV systems.

The NETGEAR M4250-16XF is ideal for AV-over-IP deployments requiring high-speed fiber connectivity and low-latency performance. It is well-suited for live event production, corporate AV systems, digital signage networks, education, and broadcast environments. Its combination of 10G SFP+ fiber ports, advanced AV-optimized features, and scalable design makes it a reliable and efficient solution for professional AV installations demanding high bandwidth and real-time performance.
