This combination of high-power PoE++ and reliable fiber uplinks makes it perfect for professional AV environments requiring both data and power over a single cable.

The M4250-26G4F-PoE++ is optimized for AV-over-IP applications, featuring IGMP Snooping and Multicast routing to manage the distribution of audio and video streams efficiently across the network. Its non-blocking architecture ensures full-speed data transmission, allowing for low-latency, real-time AV performance. This switch is ideal for AV professionals deploying networks in environments such as live events, digital signage, and corporate AV systems, where smooth, uninterrupted AV streaming is essential.

With both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, the M4250-26G4F-PoE++ offers flexibility for managing and scaling AV networks. Layer 2 features like VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) allow for traffic prioritization and network segmentation, ensuring AV traffic flows smoothly. Layer 3 functionalities, including dynamic routing protocols like OSPF, RIP, and VRRP, provide efficient traffic management and redundancy, making it suitable for complex and large-scale AV infrastructures.

The M4250-26G4F-PoE++ is engineered to deliver low-latency performance, critical for real-time AV applications where audio and video synchronization is key. Whether used for live broadcasting, interactive displays, or video conferencing, the switch ensures that media streams remain smooth and uninterrupted. Additionally, its quiet operation makes it ideal for noise-sensitive environments like control rooms, conference spaces, and recording studios.

Deploying AV-over-IP networks is simplified with the M4250-26G4F-PoE++, thanks to its pre-configured AV profiles. These profiles are designed to optimize the switch for different AV applications, minimizing setup time and reducing the complexity of manual configuration. This feature is especially beneficial for AV professionals who need to quickly deploy high-performance AV networks with minimal setup effort.

The M4250-26G4F-PoE++ is part of NETGEAR’s M4250 series, featuring a modular and stackable design that allows for easy network expansion. Multiple switches can be stacked to increase port capacity while maintaining centralized management, ensuring that the network can scale alongside the growing needs of AV systems. This modularity makes the switch a future-proof solution for expanding AV infrastructures.

The NETGEAR M4250-26G4F-PoE++ is ideal for AV-over-IP deployments that require high-power PoE++ connectivity and fiber uplink support. It is well-suited for environments like live event production, corporate AV systems, digital signage networks, education, and broadcast studios. The switch’s combination of PoE++ power, fiber uplinks, and AV-optimized features makes it a reliable and scalable solution for professional AV installations that demand both high power and low-latency performance.
