Versatile 10G Connectivity with Hybrid Ports
The NETGEAR M4300-12X12F AV Line Managed Switch combines 12 copper-based 10GBASE-T Ethernet ports with 12 SFP+ fiber ports, providing exceptional flexibility in network design. This hybrid configuration allows you to connect both copper-based devices and long-range fiber-based equipment, making it ideal for AV-over-IP systems that require a mix of short-distance and long-distance connections. It can handle everything from media servers to AV encoders and decoders, making it a powerful choice for AV professionals who need versatile connectivity options.
Optimized for AV-over-IP Performance
Engineered specifically for AV environments, the M4300-12X12F delivers low-latency, high-performance switching that is crucial for real-time audio and video transmission. With features like IGMP Snooping and Multicast routing, the switch efficiently handles multicast traffic, ensuring smooth distribution of AV streams across IP networks. This makes it an ideal solution for installations that require synchronized video or audio feeds to multiple destinations, such as live event venues, broadcast studios, or corporate AV systems.
Advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 Capabilities
The M4300-12X12F supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, giving it the ability to manage complex routing and switching needs. This allows for network segmentation, advanced traffic management, and dynamic routing capabilities, which are essential for large or growing AV-over-IP systems. Features like VLANs, QoS (Quality of Service), and dynamic routing protocols help ensure that critical AV traffic is prioritized, preventing network congestion and maintaining optimal performance.
Low Latency and Silent Operation
Low latency is critical for AV environments, where delays in audio or video streams can disrupt synchronization and performance. The M4300-12X12F is designed to provide minimal latency and jitter, ensuring smooth media streaming and real-time AV processing. Additionally, the switch is available with fanless or low-noise cooling options, making it suitable for deployment in noise-sensitive environments like recording studios, conference rooms, or control centers.
Easy Deployment with Pre-Configured AV Profiles
The M4300-12X12F includes pre-configured AV profiles that simplify the deployment process, especially for AV-over-IP applications. These profiles are tailored to optimize network settings for AV traffic, minimizing setup time and ensuring that the switch is ready for immediate use in professional AV environments. Whether in a large-scale venue or a small corporate installation, these profiles reduce configuration complexity and streamline the installation process.
Modular and Stackable for Scalability
The M4300-12X12F is part of the modular M4300 series, allowing for easy expansion and scalability. Multiple M4300 switches can be stacked together to create a larger, unified network with centralized management. This flexibility ensures that the switch can accommodate future growth, whether you need to add more AV devices, expand your network infrastructure, or adapt to evolving AV technologies.
Ideal Use Cases
The NETGEAR M4300-12X12F is ideal for a wide range of AV-over-IP applications, including live events, broadcast studios, corporate AV installations, education environments, and large-scale digital signage. Its hybrid port configuration, low-latency performance, and scalability make it a powerful and flexible solution for professionals who need reliable and high-performance AV networking.
