High-Density Gigabit Connectivity

The NETGEAR M4300-52G AV Line Managed Switch is equipped with 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, offering high-density connectivity for AV-over-IP installations. These ports provide reliable, high-speed connections to a wide range of AV devices, including media servers, AV encoders, decoders, and controllers. Additionally, the switch features four 10G SFP+ uplink ports for high-bandwidth aggregation, making it ideal for connecting to core network infrastructure or higher-tier switches in large AV deployments.

Optimized for AV-over-IP Performance

Designed specifically for AV-over-IP environments, the M4300-52G delivers low-latency, high-performance switching that is crucial for seamless AV signal transmission. With support for IGMP Snooping and Multicast routing, the switch efficiently handles multicast traffic, ensuring synchronized distribution of audio and video streams to multiple endpoints without network overload. This is essential for professional AV applications such as video walls, live event productions, and corporate AV systems.

Advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 Features

The M4300-52G supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, providing flexibility for complex network designs. Layer 2 features such as VLANs and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) enable network segmentation and redundancy, while Layer 3 capabilities such as dynamic routing (OSPF, RIP) and VRRP allow for efficient traffic management across larger networks. This makes the switch highly scalable and adaptable to the growing demands of AV systems in both small and large-scale installations.

Low Latency and Silent Operation

In AV environments, low-latency performance is critical to maintaining the integrity of audio and video streams, especially in real-time applications such as live broadcasts and interactive displays. The M4300-52G is designed to minimize latency and jitter, ensuring smooth playback and real-time synchronization. Additionally, the switch operates quietly, making it ideal for deployment in noise-sensitive spaces such as recording studios, conference rooms, and control centers.

Pre-Configured AV Profiles for Easy Setup

Setting up an AV-over-IP network can be complex, but the M4300-52G simplifies this with pre-configured AV profiles that optimize the switch for various AV applications. These profiles are designed to reduce configuration time and eliminate the guesswork, making it easier to deploy AV networks in a variety of environments, from corporate installations to large entertainment venues. This makes the switch particularly valuable for AV professionals who need quick, reliable setups.

Modular and Stackable for Network Growth

The M4300-52G is part of the M4300 series, offering modular and stackable design options for easy expansion as AV systems grow. Multiple switches can be stacked to create a unified, larger network that is centrally managed. This stacking capability simplifies network management while providing the flexibility to expand your system as more AV devices are added or new locations come online.

Ideal Use Cases

The NETGEAR M4300-52G AV Line Managed Switch is ideal for AV-over-IP deployments in large-scale environments such as corporate offices, educational institutions, live event venues, and broadcast studios. Its high port density, AV-optimized features, and scalability make it a perfect solution for professionals looking for a reliable, low-latency switch to handle extensive AV networks with demanding performance requirements.
