The NETGEAR M4250-40G8XF-PoE++ AV Line Managed Switch provides 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) capability, each delivering up to 30W of power. Additionally, it includes PoE++ support on select ports, offering up to 60W per port to power high-demand AV equipment such as PTZ cameras, digital displays, and lighting systems. With 8 10G SFP+ uplink ports, the switch also supports high-speed aggregation and long-distance fiber links, ensuring smooth data transfer between AV devices and core network components.

Built for AV-over-IP networks, the M4250-40G8XF-PoE++ features IGMP Snooping and Multicast routing to efficiently manage multicast traffic, ensuring the seamless delivery of audio and video streams across multiple devices. Its non-blocking architecture guarantees full-speed data transmission, preventing network congestion and allowing real-time AV applications to run smoothly without interruptions. This makes the switch ideal for environments requiring reliable, low-latency performance, such as live events, digital signage, and corporate AV installations.

The switch supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionalities, offering flexible and scalable network management options. Layer 2 features such as VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and Quality of Service (QoS) help optimize network traffic by prioritizing AV data streams. Layer 3 capabilities, including dynamic routing protocols like OSPF, RIP, and VRRP, enable efficient routing and redundancy for larger AV networks, ensuring that AV traffic flows efficiently and reliably.

The M4250-40G8XF-PoE++ is engineered to deliver low-latency performance, critical for AV-over-IP applications that require real-time audio and video synchronization. The switch minimizes latency and jitter, ensuring high-quality media streaming in environments such as live events, interactive displays, and video conferencing. Furthermore, its fanless or quiet operation makes it suitable for noise-sensitive areas, including recording studios, conference rooms, and control centers.

Deploying AV-over-IP networks is made simpler with the M4250-40G8XF-PoE++’s pre-configured AV profiles. These profiles optimize the switch’s settings for AV traffic, reducing the complexity of manual configuration and allowing for faster, more efficient deployment. This feature ensures that AV professionals can quickly set up the network with minimal effort, allowing them to focus on delivering high-quality AV experiences.

The M4250-40G8XF-PoE++ features a modular and stackable design, enabling AV professionals to expand their networks easily. Multiple switches can be stacked together to increase port capacity while maintaining centralized management. This modular approach ensures that the network can scale as needed, making it a future-proof solution for growing AV infrastructures and evolving installation needs.

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