The NETGEAR M4250-40G8F-PoE+ AV Line Managed Switch provides 40 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports, each capable of delivering up to 30W of power. This makes it ideal for powering AV-over-IP devices such as IP cameras, speakers, and displays using a single cable. In addition, the switch is equipped with 8 SFP fiber uplink ports, enabling long-distance connections and ensuring fast, reliable communication between AV devices and the network core.

The M4250-40G8F-PoE+ is engineered specifically for AV-over-IP environments, with IGMP Snooping and Multicast routing features to manage multicast traffic efficiently. These capabilities ensure smooth, synchronized AV streaming across multiple devices without network congestion. The non-blocking architecture guarantees that all ports deliver full-speed data transmission, making this switch ideal for real-time AV applications such as live event production, digital signage, and corporate AV setups.

With support for both Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking, the M4250-40G8F-PoE+ provides advanced options for managing and scaling AV networks. Layer 2 features like VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) enable traffic prioritization and network segmentation to optimize AV performance. Layer 3 functionalities, including dynamic routing protocols like OSPF, RIP, and VRRP, allow for efficient routing and high availability in larger, more complex AV systems.

Low latency is crucial in AV environments where real-time audio and video synchronization is needed. The M4250-40G8F-PoE+ is designed to minimize latency and jitter, ensuring that media streams remain synchronized and uninterrupted, even in demanding applications like live streaming, interactive displays, and video conferencing. Additionally, the switch operates quietly, making it suitable for deployment in noise-sensitive environments such as recording studios, conference rooms, and control centers.

The switch includes pre-configured AV profiles that simplify the deployment process by optimizing settings for AV-over-IP applications. These profiles reduce setup time and ensure that the switch is ready to handle AV traffic efficiently, making it easy for AV professionals to deploy reliable networks without needing to manually configure each setting.

The M4250-40G8F-PoE+ is part of NETGEAR’s modular and stackable M4250 series, allowing multiple switches to be combined to increase port capacity and scale the network as needed. This modular design ensures that as AV systems expand, the network can grow without complexity, making the switch a future-proof solution for evolving AV infrastructures.

The NETGEAR M4250-40G8F-PoE+ is ideal for AV-over-IP applications requiring a mix of high-density PoE+ connectivity and fiber uplinks. It is well-suited for environments like live events, corporate AV systems, digital signage networks, education facilities, and broadcast studios. The switch’s combination of PoE+ power, fiber uplinks, and AV-optimized features make it a reliable and scalable solution for professional AV installations that require both power delivery and low-latency performance.
