High-Performance 10G Ethernet with 100G Uplinks

The NETGEAR M4350-40X4C AV Line Managed Switch is designed for high-performance AV-over-IP installations, featuring 40 10G Ethernet ports that provide ample bandwidth for connecting AV devices such as media servers, encoders, and decoders. The 4 100G QSFP28 uplink ports deliver ultra-fast backbone connections, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted data flow even in the most demanding AV environments. This makes the switch an ideal solution for large-scale deployments requiring high-capacity networking, such as live event venues, broadcast studios, and enterprise AV systems.

Optimized for AV-over-IP Traffic

The M4350-40X4C is optimized for AV-over-IP networking, featuring IGMP Snooping and Multicast routing to efficiently manage the distribution of audio and video streams across the network. Its non-blocking architecture ensures full-speed data transmission across all ports, preventing bottlenecks and maintaining low latency. This is crucial in professional AV environments where real-time media transmission is essential for applications like video walls, digital signage, and live event streaming.

Advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 Networking Features

With support for both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, the M4350-40X4C provides advanced network management capabilities, allowing for greater flexibility in designing and scaling AV networks. Layer 2 features such as VLANs, QoS (Quality of Service), and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) enable network segmentation and prioritization of AV traffic, while Layer 3 capabilities like dynamic routing protocols (OSPF, RIP) and VRRP ensure efficient traffic management and high availability in larger networks.

Low Latency and Quiet Operation

The M4350-40X4C is engineered for low-latency performance, making it ideal for real-time AV applications where timing is critical. Its architecture minimizes latency and jitter, ensuring that audio and video streams remain synchronized and of high quality. Additionally, the switch offers silent or quiet operation, making it suitable for installation in noise-sensitive environments such as recording studios, conference rooms, and control centers.

Pre-Configured AV Profiles for Simplified Deployment

The M4350-40X4C simplifies the setup process with pre-configured AV profiles specifically designed to optimize network performance for AV applications. These profiles are tailored to handle the unique demands of AV-over-IP traffic, reducing configuration complexity and ensuring that the switch is ready to perform in professional AV environments from the start. This feature makes it easier for AV professionals to deploy reliable, high-performance networks without the need for extensive configuration.

Modular and Stackable Design for Scalability

As part of the NETGEAR M4300/M4350 series, the M4350-40X4C offers a modular and stackable design, allowing for easy network expansion. Multiple switches can be stacked to increase port density and capacity, providing a unified network with centralized management. This scalability ensures that the network can grow alongside the demands of AV systems, making it a future-proof solution for evolving AV-over-IP infrastructures.

Ideal Use Cases

The NETGEAR M4350-40X4C AV Line Managed Switch is ideal for large-scale AV-over-IP deployments, including live event production, broadcasting, corporate AV installations, education facilities, and digital signage networks. Its combination of high-performance 10G Ethernet ports, ultra-fast 100G uplinks, and AV-optimized features make it an excellent choice for professionals seeking reliable, low-latency networking solutions in demanding AV environments.
