The NETGEAR M4300-28G AV Line Managed Switch is equipped with 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, offering reliable connectivity for AV devices like media servers, AV controllers, and IP-based encoders/decoders. Additionally, the 4 10G SFP+ uplink ports provide high-speed connections to core networks or other AV switches, ensuring that data-heavy AV streams are handled without bottlenecks. This combination of ports delivers high-density connections while supporting high-speed uplinks for large-scale AV-over-IP environments.

This switch is designed to meet the specific needs of AV-over-IP networks, delivering low latency and seamless transmission of audio and video streams. Its non-blocking architecture ensures that all ports operate at full speed without packet loss, essential for maintaining smooth, real-time AV content delivery. The M4300-28G supports IGMP Snooping and Multicast routing, allowing it to efficiently manage multicast traffic, which is crucial for delivering AV streams to multiple endpoints simultaneously.

The M4300-28G supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, giving network administrators the tools needed to design flexible and scalable networks. Layer 2 features like VLANs enable network segmentation, while Layer 3 capabilities such as OSPF, RIP, and VRRP offer dynamic routing and high availability. These advanced networking features make the switch suitable for both small-scale AV installations and large, complex AV networks that require sophisticated traffic management and routing.

AV environments demand low-latency networking to ensure that audio and video streams remain in sync and uninterrupted. The M4300-28G is optimized to provide minimal latency and jitter, making it ideal for real-time applications such as live event productions, broadcast studios, and corporate presentations. Additionally, its quiet operation makes it suitable for deployment in noise-sensitive environments like conference rooms, control centers, and recording studios.

Deploying a professional AV-over-IP network is made easier with the M4300-28G's pre-configured AV profiles. These profiles are designed to optimize network performance for various AV applications, reducing setup complexity and ensuring that the switch is ready to handle the demands of AV traffic right out of the box. Whether for a live event, corporate AV setup, or large digital signage installation, these profiles help streamline the configuration process.

The M4300-28G is part of NETGEAR’s modular M4300 series, which allows for easy network expansion and scalability. Multiple switches can be stacked to increase port count, creating a single, unified network that is managed centrally. This modular design ensures that the network can grow alongside the needs of the AV system, making it future-proof and adaptable to new technologies and additional AV equipment.

The NETGEAR M4300-28G AV Line Managed Switch is perfect for AV-over-IP deployments in a wide range of environments, including corporate offices, educational institutions, digital signage networks, live event venues, and broadcasting. Its combination of Gigabit Ethernet ports and high-speed 10G uplinks, along with its AV-optimized features and scalability, makes it a versatile solution for AV professionals who require reliable and high-performance networking for their installations.
