High-Density PoE+ Connectivity with 10G Uplinks

The NETGEAR M4250-40G8XF-PoE+ AV Line Managed Switch provides 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) support, delivering up to 30W of power per port. This makes it ideal for powering AV devices such as cameras, speakers, and displays over a single network cable. The switch also features 8 10G SFP+ uplink ports, allowing for high-speed network aggregation and long-distance fiber connections, making it perfect for large AV-over-IP environments.

Optimized for AV-over-IP Performance

The M4250-40G8XF-PoE+ is built with AV-over-IP networks in mind, offering IGMP Snooping and Multicast routing to efficiently manage multicast traffic. Its non-blocking architecture ensures full-speed data transmission across all ports, preventing network congestion and ensuring smooth AV streaming. This makes it perfect for real-time AV applications, such as live events, digital signage, and corporate AV systems, where reliable performance and low latency are essential.

Advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 Networking Features

This switch supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, providing flexibility for designing scalable and robust networks. Layer 2 features like VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) enable traffic prioritization and network segmentation to optimize AV traffic. Layer 3 functionalities, including OSPF, RIP, and VRRP, allow for dynamic routing and redundancy, ensuring efficient traffic management and high availability for larger AV networks.

Low Latency and Quiet Operation

The M4250-40G8XF-PoE+ is designed to deliver low-latency performance, making it suitable for real-time AV applications where timing is critical, such as live streaming, video conferencing, and broadcasting. It ensures that audio and video streams are delivered in sync, with minimal jitter and delay. Additionally, its quiet operation makes it ideal for noise-sensitive environments like studios, conference rooms, and control centers.

Pre-Configured AV Profiles for Easy Deployment

The switch simplifies the setup process with pre-configured AV profiles that optimize network settings for AV-over-IP applications. These profiles help reduce configuration time and ensure that the switch is ready to handle AV traffic efficiently, making it easier for AV professionals to deploy high-performance networks without manual configurations.

Modular and Stackable Design for Scalability

The M4250-40G8XF-PoE+ is part of the modular and stackable M4250 series, allowing multiple switches to be stacked for increased port capacity and simplified network management. This modular design ensures the switch can scale with your network as more AV devices are added, providing a future-proof solution for growing AV infrastructures.

Ideal Use Cases

The NETGEAR M4250-40G8XF-PoE+ is ideal for AV-over-IP applications that require high-density PoE+ connectivity and 10G uplink support. It is well-suited for environments such as live events, corporate AV systems, digital signage, education, and broadcast studios. The switch’s combination of PoE+ power, high-speed uplinks, and AV-optimized features make it a reliable solution for powering and connecting AV devices in professional installations requiring low latency and high performance.
