High-Density Gigabit Connectivity with 10G Uplinks

The NETGEAR M4350-48G4XF AV Line Managed Switch provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, delivering high-density connectivity for a wide range of AV devices, including media servers, displays, and encoders. The 4 10G SFP+ uplink ports allow for high-speed aggregation or long-distance fiber connections, ensuring seamless data transfer between AV devices and core network components. This combination of Gigabit and 10G uplinks makes it ideal for large AV-over-IP installations.

Optimized for AV-over-IP Performance

Designed for professional AV environments, the M4350-48G4XF is optimized for AV-over-IP applications, featuring IGMP Snooping and Multicast routing for efficient traffic management. These features ensure smooth delivery of audio and video streams across multiple devices, while its non-blocking architecture guarantees full-speed data transmission without bottlenecks. This makes the switch perfect for real-time AV applications such as live events, video walls, and digital signage, where reliable, low-latency performance is essential.

Advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 Networking Features

The switch supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, providing flexibility in network design and scalability. Layer 2 features such as VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and Quality of Service (QoS) allow for network segmentation and prioritization of AV traffic. Layer 3 functionalities, including dynamic routing protocols like OSPF, RIP, and VRRP, provide efficient routing and redundancy for larger AV networks, ensuring reliable traffic management and high availability.

Low Latency and Quiet Operation

The M4350-48G4XF is designed for low-latency performance, making it ideal for real-time AV applications where timing and synchronization are critical. This ensures that audio and video streams are delivered without delay, maintaining a seamless user experience in environments such as live production, interactive displays, and video conferencing. Additionally, the switch operates quietly, making it suitable for noise-sensitive spaces like recording studios, conference rooms, or control centers.

Pre-Configured AV Profiles for Easy Deployment

Deploying AV-over-IP networks is simplified with the M4350-48G4XF’s pre-configured AV profiles, which optimize network settings for AV traffic out of the box. These profiles reduce setup time and ensure that the switch is configured correctly for various AV applications, making it easier for AV professionals to deploy reliable, high-performance networks without manual configuration.

Modular and Stackable for Network Expansion

As part of NETGEAR’s M4350 series, the M4350-48G4XF is modular and stackable, allowing multiple switches to be combined to increase port density and simplify network management. Stacked switches can be managed as a single unit, making it easy to scale up as more AV devices are added. This flexibility ensures that the switch can grow with the evolving needs of AV systems, providing a future-proof solution for expanding AV infrastructures.

Ideal Use Cases

The NETGEAR M4350-48G4XF is ideal for AV-over-IP deployments in environments that require high-density Gigabit connectivity with 10G uplink support. It is perfect for live event production, corporate AV systems, digital signage networks, education, and broadcasting. The switch’s combination of Gigabit Ethernet ports, high-speed 10G uplinks, and AV-optimized features make it a reliable and scalable solution for professional AV installations that demand both performance and flexibility.
