Hybrid Connectivity with 10G Ethernet and SFP+ Fiber
The NETGEAR M4300-8X8F AV Line Managed Switch offers a hybrid configuration of 8 copper-based 10GBASE-T ports and 8 SFP+ fiber ports, giving AV professionals the flexibility to connect both short-range copper devices and long-range fiber equipment. This versatile design ensures seamless integration into various AV-over-IP environments, such as conference rooms, live events, and broadcast studios, where diverse connectivity requirements are common.
Optimized for AV-over-IP Deployments
Built for the demanding requirements of AV-over-IP systems, the M4300-8X8F ensures smooth, high-quality video and audio transmission. Its non-blocking architecture allows for full bandwidth across all ports, preventing bottlenecks and ensuring low-latency performance. This is essential for environments where real-time media transmission is critical, such as live broadcasts, digital signage, and large AV setups.
Multicast Support for Efficient AV Traffic
The switch's support for IGMP Snooping and Multicast routing makes it highly efficient in managing multicast traffic, which is essential for AV networks that stream video and audio to multiple endpoints simultaneously. These features ensure that the switch can handle large-scale AV traffic while maintaining synchronized and smooth content distribution, making it ideal for video walls, public displays, and large corporate AV systems.
Advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 Features for Network Scalability
The M4300-8X8F supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, offering advanced features such as VLANs, QoS (Quality of Service), and dynamic routing protocols like OSPF and VRRP. These capabilities allow for fine-tuned control over network traffic, ensuring that critical AV streams are prioritized and that the network can scale as more devices are added or new applications are introduced. This makes the switch suitable for both small installations and large, complex AV networks.
Low Latency and Silent Operation for Professional Environments
With its low-latency architecture, the M4300-8X8F ensures that audio and video streams remain synchronized and free from delays, even in real-time environments. This makes it particularly suited for live events, control rooms, and production studios. Additionally, its fanless or quiet operation is ideal for environments where noise must be kept to a minimum, such as recording studios, boardrooms, and auditoriums.
Pre-Configured AV Profiles for Simplified Setup
Setting up an AV-over-IP network can be complex, but the M4300-8X8F makes it easier with pre-configured AV profiles. These profiles are designed to optimize the switch for various AV applications, minimizing setup time and reducing configuration errors. Whether deploying in a corporate office, educational facility, or entertainment venue, the switch is ready to handle the unique demands of AV-over-IP installations out of the box.
Modular and Stackable Design for Network Expansion
As part of the M4300 series, the 8X8F switch can be stacked with other M4300 models, allowing for easy network expansion. This modular approach lets you add more ports and scale the network without needing complex reconfiguration. Multiple switches can be managed as a single unit, simplifying management while allowing the network to grow as AV requirements increase over time.
Ideal Use Cases
The NETGEAR M4300-8X8F is perfect for AV environments that demand flexibility and scalability, such as live events, broadcasting, corporate AV systems, digital signage, and education facilities. Its combination of 10G Ethernet and fiber ports, along with AV-optimized features, ensures reliable, low-latency performance, making it an ideal choice for professional AV-over-IP networking.
