The NETGEAR M4300-28G-PoE+ AV Line Managed Switch features 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports, each capable of delivering up to 30W of power. This makes it ideal for powering a range of AV devices, including IP cameras, digital displays, speakers, and more, over a single Ethernet cable. Additionally, the switch includes 4 10G SFP+ uplink ports for high-speed aggregation or long-distance fiber connections, ensuring seamless data transfer in larger AV-over-IP environments.

Designed specifically for AV applications, the M4300-28G-PoE+ is optimized for multicast traffic, which is crucial in distributing synchronized audio and video streams across multiple endpoints. IGMP Snooping and Multicast routing capabilities ensure efficient traffic management, preventing network overload. With its non-blocking architecture, the switch guarantees full-speed data transmission on all ports, making it perfect for real-time AV applications such as live events, digital signage, and corporate AV installations.

The M4300-28G-PoE+ supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, providing flexible and scalable network management options. Layer 2 features like VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) enable optimized traffic prioritization and network segmentation. Layer 3 functionalities, such as dynamic routing protocols like OSPF, RIP, and VRRP, allow for advanced routing and redundancy, making the switch suitable for medium to large AV networks that require robust traffic management and scalability.

The M4300-28G-PoE+ is designed to deliver low-latency performance, minimizing delays and jitter to ensure smooth, synchronized audio and video streams for real-time AV applications. Whether used in live production, video conferencing, or interactive displays, this switch ensures optimal performance. Its quiet operation makes it ideal for deployment in noise-sensitive environments such as conference rooms, studios, and control centers.

Setting up AV-over-IP networks is simplified with the M4300-28G-PoE+ thanks to its pre-configured AV profiles. These profiles are optimized for various AV applications, reducing the complexity of manual configuration and ensuring quick deployment. AV professionals can easily set up reliable networks, knowing the switch is pre-optimized for AV traffic.

As part of NETGEAR’s M4300 series, the M4300-28G-PoE+ supports modular stacking, allowing multiple switches to be stacked together for increased port capacity and centralized management. This modular design ensures that the switch can scale as more AV devices are added, providing a future-proof solution for expanding AV infrastructures.

The NETGEAR M4300-28G-PoE+ is ideal for AV-over-IP installations requiring high-density PoE+ connectivity and high-speed uplinks. It is perfect for medium-scale environments such as corporate AV systems, live event production, digital signage, education facilities, and broadcasting. The switch’s combination of PoE+ power, 10G uplinks, and AV-optimized features makes it a reliable, scalable solution for professional AV applications.
