High-Speed 10G Copper Connectivity with PoE++ Support
The NETGEAR M4350-24X4V AV Line Managed Switch features 24 10GBASE-T copper ports, providing high-speed connections for AV devices such as media servers, encoders, decoders, and other networked AV equipment. Additionally, it includes 4 PoE++ ports, delivering up to 90W per port to power AV devices like PTZ cameras, lighting systems, and interactive displays. This mix of high-speed data and power capabilities makes the switch a versatile option for AV professionals managing both connectivity and power in their AV-over-IP installations.
Optimized for AV-over-IP Deployments
Designed for AV environments, the M4350-24X4V features IGMP Snooping and Multicast routing, optimizing it for distributing audio and video streams efficiently across the network. Its non-blocking architecture ensures that all ports operate at full capacity without congestion, making it perfect for high-bandwidth, real-time AV applications such as live event streaming, digital signage, and video production. The switch delivers low-latency performance, ensuring smooth and synchronized AV transmissions.
Advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 Networking Features
The M4350-24X4V supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, allowing for robust and scalable network designs. Layer 2 functionalities such as VLANs and QoS (Quality of Service) ensure that AV traffic is prioritized for seamless performance. Layer 3 capabilities like dynamic routing protocols (OSPF, RIP, VRRP) enable the switch to handle complex routing tasks, making it suitable for both small and large AV networks that require advanced traffic management and scalability.
Low Latency and Quiet Operation
Low latency is critical in AV environments to maintain real-time synchronization of audio and video streams. The M4350-24X4V is designed to provide minimal latency and jitter, making it ideal for applications where timing is essential, such as live production, broadcasting, and interactive displays. Additionally, the switch operates quietly, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments like recording studios, conference rooms, and control centers.
Pre-Configured AV Profiles for Simplified Deployment
Setting up an AV-over-IP network is streamlined with the M4350-24X4V, thanks to its pre-configured AV profiles. These profiles optimize the switch for AV applications, minimizing setup time and complexity. AV professionals can quickly deploy the switch without extensive manual configuration, ensuring that the network is ready for immediate use in a variety of AV environments, from corporate AV systems to live event venues.
Modular and Stackable for Network Expansion
The M4350-24X4V features a modular and stackable design, enabling multiple switches to be combined for larger installations. This stacking capability allows for increased port density and simplified network management, as all stacked switches can be controlled from a single interface. The switch’s scalability ensures that AV networks can grow as more devices are added or as system requirements evolve, making it a future-proof solution for expanding AV infrastructures.
Ideal Use Cases
The NETGEAR M4350-24X4V is ideal for AV-over-IP applications that require both high-speed 10G copper connectivity and PoE++ support. It’s well-suited for live event production, corporate AV systems, digital signage networks, broadcast environments, and educational facilities. The switch’s combination of PoE++ ports, 10G performance, and AV-optimized features makes it a powerful and versatile solution for professional AV deployments that demand both data and power over the network.
