NETGEAR M4250-26G4F-PoE++ Managed AV Switch for AV Over IP Networks
The NETGEAR M4250-26G4F-PoE++ Managed Switch is engineered for professional AV over IP deployments that demand reliable power, flexible configuration, and streamlined installation. Designed specifically for audio/video professionals, this managed switch combines a robust Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching engine with a dedicated AV-focused interface, making it well suited for live production, installed AV systems, enterprise AV networks, and other bandwidth-intensive environments.
Built for modern AV workflows, the M4250-26G4F-PoE++ supports common audio and video profiles including Dante, Q-SYS, AES67, AVB, NVX, SVSI, NDI, and mixed audio/video/control configurations. Rear-facing ports, selectable fan modes, recessed mounting options, and high PoE++ capacity help simplify rack integration while supporting connected AV devices such as cameras, endpoints, controllers, encoders, decoders, and networked audio components.
For users who need both AV-specific usability and enterprise-grade network functionality, this NETGEAR AV managed switch provides dedicated AV web-based controls alongside traditional IT management tools such as CLI, SNMP, sFlow, RSPAN, SSH, and centralized NMS300 support. The result is a versatile 1 Gigabit managed switch that helps professionals deploy scalable, organized, and performance-focused AV networks with confidence.
