The NETGEAR M4300-16X AV Line Managed Switch features 16 dedicated 10G Ethernet ports, offering high-speed connectivity essential for AV-over-IP environments. These ports provide ample bandwidth for connecting AV devices like media servers, encoders, and decoders, ensuring smooth data transfer with minimal bottlenecks. This makes the switch ideal for large-scale AV installations such as corporate AV systems, live events, and broadcast studios, where multiple 4K video streams and other data-intensive applications need to be managed effectively.

Designed specifically for AV applications, the M4300-16X is optimized for handling multicast traffic, making it an excellent choice for distributing synchronized audio and video streams across multiple endpoints. IGMP Snooping and Multicast routing capabilities ensure that AV-over-IP traffic is managed efficiently, without overloading the network. The non-blocking architecture allows all ports to operate at full speed, preventing data delays and ensuring smooth, real-time performance.

The M4300-16X supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, providing flexibility for network segmentation, traffic management, and scalability. Layer 2 functionalities, such as VLANs and Quality of Service (QoS), enable optimized traffic prioritization for AV data, ensuring seamless media performance. Meanwhile, Layer 3 features, including dynamic routing protocols like OSPF, RIP, and VRRP, allow for advanced traffic management and redundancy in larger, complex AV networks.

The M4300-16X delivers low-latency performance, crucial for real-time AV applications like live broadcasting, interactive displays, and video conferencing. Its architecture minimizes jitter, ensuring that audio and video streams remain synchronized. In addition, the switch operates quietly, making it suitable for deployment in noise-sensitive environments, such as recording studios, conference rooms, and control centers.

The M4300-16X comes with pre-configured AV profiles, streamlining the deployment process and reducing setup time. These profiles are optimized for AV-over-IP applications, allowing AV professionals to quickly configure the switch for different AV environments without needing to manually configure each setting. This feature ensures the switch is ready for reliable, high-performance AV operation right out of the box.

As part of NETGEAR's M4300 series, the M4300-16X is designed for scalability. Multiple switches can be stacked, increasing port density and simplifying management while maintaining centralized control. This modular design ensures that the network can grow alongside evolving AV needs, making it a future-proof solution for expanding AV infrastructures.

The NETGEAR M4300-16X AV Line Managed Switch is ideal for AV-over-IP deployments requiring high-speed 10G Ethernet connectivity. It’s perfect for live event production, corporate AV systems, digital signage, broadcasting, and education environments. The switch’s combination of 10G performance, advanced multicast support, and AV-optimized features make it a reliable and scalable solution for professional AV installations that demand low-latency, high-performance networking.
