The NETGEAR M4250-26G4XF-PoE+ AV Line Managed Switch offers 26 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports, each delivering up to 30W of power to AV devices such as IP cameras, displays, and audio equipment. Additionally, the switch includes 4 10G SFP+ uplink ports, enabling high-speed aggregation and long-distance fiber connections. This combination of power and connectivity makes the switch ideal for AV installations that need reliable data transmission and PoE power delivery for multiple devices.

The M4250-26G4XF-PoE+ is optimized for AV-over-IP environments, with IGMP Snooping and Multicast routing capabilities to efficiently manage AV streams. Its non-blocking architecture ensures full-speed data transmission across all ports, preventing network congestion and allowing for smooth, uninterrupted AV performance. This makes the switch an ideal choice for real-time applications like live events, digital signage, and corporate AV installations, where seamless performance and low latency are crucial.

This switch supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking, offering flexibility for managing and scaling AV networks. Layer 2 features such as VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) allow for network segmentation and traffic prioritization, ensuring that AV traffic gets the bandwidth it requires. Layer 3 features, including dynamic routing protocols like OSPF, RIP, and VRRP, provide efficient traffic management and redundancy, making the switch suitable for larger, complex AV infrastructures.

The M4250-26G4XF-PoE+ is engineered to deliver low-latency performance, minimizing delay and jitter in real-time AV applications. Whether used for live streaming, interactive displays, or video conferencing, the switch ensures that audio and video streams remain synchronized and of high quality. Additionally, its quiet operation makes it perfect for noise-sensitive environments like control rooms, recording studios, and conference spaces.

Setting up an AV-over-IP network is made easy with the M4250-26G4XF-PoE+ thanks to its pre-configured AV profiles. These profiles optimize the switch's settings for AV applications, minimizing configuration time and ensuring efficient performance right out of the box. This feature is particularly useful for AV professionals looking to deploy high-performance networks quickly and with minimal hassle.

As part of NETGEAR’s M4250 series, the M4250-26G4XF-PoE+ is designed to be modular and stackable, allowing multiple switches to be combined for increased port capacity and network scalability. The modular design ensures that the switch can grow with your AV system, providing a future-proof solution as network demands evolve.

The NETGEAR M4250-26G4XF-PoE+ is ideal for AV-over-IP deployments in environments that require a balance of high-density PoE+ connectivity and high-speed 10G uplinks. It is perfect for live event production, corporate AV systems, digital signage, education, and broadcast environments. The switch’s combination of PoE+ power, 10G uplinks, and AV-optimized features make it a reliable, scalable solution for professional AV installations that demand both power and performance.
