The NETGEAR M4350-8X8F AV Line Managed Switch offers a hybrid design with 8 10GBASE-T copper ports and 8 10G SFP+ fiber ports, providing flexible connectivity options for AV-over-IP installations. This allows AV professionals to mix short-range copper connections with long-distance fiber links, making it perfect for installations that require both types of connections. The copper ports are ideal for connecting local AV devices, while the fiber ports are suited for extending the network over long distances in larger AV environments.

Designed for demanding AV environments, the M4350-8X8F is equipped with IGMP Snooping and Multicast routing features that efficiently manage multicast traffic, ensuring smooth delivery of audio and video streams across the network. Its non-blocking architecture allows all ports to operate at full speed, eliminating bottlenecks and maintaining low-latency performance. This is essential for real-time AV applications, such as live event streaming, digital signage, and broadcast studios, where reliable, high-quality media delivery is crucial.

The M4350-8X8F supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, providing flexibility in designing scalable networks. Layer 2 features such as VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and Quality of Service (QoS) enable efficient traffic prioritization and network segmentation, ensuring that AV traffic is always prioritized. Layer 3 capabilities, including dynamic routing protocols like OSPF, RIP, and VRRP, allow for advanced traffic management and high availability, making the switch suitable for both small AV systems and large, complex AV infrastructures.

The M4350-8X8F is optimized for low-latency performance, ensuring that audio and video streams remain synchronized and uninterrupted in real-time applications. Whether used in live events, interactive displays, or video conferencing setups, this switch minimizes delays and jitter to ensure smooth, high-quality media transmission. In addition, the switch operates quietly, making it suitable for deployment in noise-sensitive environments like recording studios, conference rooms, and control centers.

The M4350-8X8F includes pre-configured AV profiles, simplifying the deployment process by optimizing network settings for AV traffic. These profiles reduce configuration time and ensure that the switch is ready to handle AV-over-IP applications right out of the box. This feature is particularly beneficial for AV professionals who need to quickly and efficiently deploy reliable AV networks without having to manually configure each setting.

The M4350-8X8F is part of NETGEAR’s modular and stackable M4350 series, allowing multiple switches to be stacked to increase port density and expand network capacity as needed. This design simplifies network management by enabling centralized control over multiple stacked switches. As AV systems grow, the switch provides a scalable solution that ensures long-term network flexibility, making it future-proof for evolving AV needs.

The NETGEAR M4350-8X8F is ideal for AV-over-IP deployments that require both high-speed copper connections and long-distance fiber links. It is perfect for use in environments such as live event production, corporate AV systems, broadcasting, digital signage, and educational institutions. The combination of 10G copper and fiber ports, low-latency performance, and AV-optimized features make it a reliable and versatile solution for professional AV installations.
