Marshall Electronics Netgear AV Line M4250-10G2XF-PoE+ 8x1G PoE+ 240W 2x1G and 2xSFP+ Managed Switch

An essential component for any modern AV over IP setup, the Netgear AV Line M4250-10G2XF-PoE+ Managed Switch is expertly engineered to streamline your audiovisual network. With a focus on 1G AV over IP, this switch features rear-facing ports that promote a clean and organized integration within AV racks, ensuring a professional setup.

This switch is not just powerful but also user-friendly, arriving pre-configured for immediate deployment. The advanced AV GUI is tailored for ease of use, allowing for both factory and user-customized profiles to be easily applied to individual ports according to your specific requirements.

Designed with noise-sensitive environments in mind, the adjustable fans of the M4250-10G2XF-PoE+ can be completely turned off under certain conditions, and even the default Quiet mode operates at a lower noise level than most competing switches. This makes it ideal for settings where noise pollution must be kept to a minimum.

The NETGEAR IGMP Plus feature is factory-set to facilitate instant functionality for the majority of AV over IP installations, minimizing the need for extensive engineering time. This feature ensures that you can get your network up and running swiftly and efficiently.

The switch offers multiple mounting options, enhancing its flexibility. It comes with industry-standard threaded mounting holes integrated into the chassis, allowing for various installation possibilities, such as behind displays or clamped to truss systems.

Built specifically for AV over IP applications, the switch includes dedicated profiles for common audio protocols like Dante, AES67, and AVB (note that AVB requires a separate license). Video profiles for NVX, SVSI, Q-SYS, and Dante video are also built-in, simplifying the process of assigning profiles to ports as needed.

Advanced features of this switch include support for multi-switch audio or single-switch video deployments, boasting 8x1G PoE+ ports with a generous 240W PoE budget, alongside 2x1G additional ports and 2xSFP 1G fiber uplinks for extensive connectivity options. It offers both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, providing a common switching engine across all M4250 models.

Control methods are abundant, with a built-in IT web GUI, console, telnet, and SSH, maintaining consistency with other NETGEAR M4xxx series switches. The feature set is comprehensive, including static, RIP and PIM routing, DHCP Server, and PTPv2.

Mounting flexibility is a key advantage of this switch. It is designed for 1U, 200mm deep rackmount with all power and Ethernet ports on the back, supporting reversed mounting with ports in the front for cable protection, and offering universal mounting options with bottom M5 and front M10 threaded holes.

The adjustable fan functionality ensures operational quietness, with a Quiet mode registering at 39.22dB at 25°C when all ports are used with a full 240W PoE load, and a fanless mode that is viable with a maximum ambient temperature of 25°C and an internal sensor at 35°C.

In summary, the Netgear AV Line M4250-10G2XF-PoE+ Managed Switch is a versatile, powerful, and user-friendly solution for any AV over IP network, designed to meet the demands of both today's and tomorrow's audiovisual environments.
