NETGEAR M4250-16XF hallittava L2/L3 1U musta

The NETGEAR M4250 AV switch is engineered for 1G AV over IP with PoE+ and Ultra90 PoE++ support, featuring rear-facing ports for tidy integration in AV racks. M4250 switches are shipped pre-configured for common audio and video signals while offering an AV-focused user interface for customization with port-based profiles. Supported audio profiles include Dante, Q-SYS and AES67; an AVB profile is available separately with an optional AVB license. Video and mixed AV profiles cover NVX, SVSI, Q-SYS, NDI, Dante and others. When multiple M4250 switches are used together, NETGEAR IGMP Plus automates multicast handling for simplified interconnection.

Advantages

The switch combines 1G AV over IP performance with PoE+ and Ultra90 PoE++ to power AV devices directly, and rear-facing ports to maintain a clean rack appearance. Pre-configured audio and video profiles reduce setup time, while the AV user interface enables port-based customization for specific workflows. Optional AVB licensing provides industry-standard low-latency transport when deterministic timing is required. NETGEAR IGMP Plus streamlines multicast across multiple switches, easing deployment of complex AV networks.

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps per port (1G AV over IP)
• Power over Ethernet: PoE+ and Ultra90 PoE++ support
• Port orientation: Rear-facing ports for rack integration
• Audio profiles: Dante, Q-SYS, AES67
• Video/mixed profiles: NVX, SVSI, Q-SYS, NDI, Dante, mixed AV/control profiles
• AVB: Supported with separate AVB license
• Multicast automation: NETGEAR IGMP Plus for multi-switch setups

How to use

Install the M4250 in an AV rack using its rear-facing ports for cable management. Connect AV devices to PoE+ or Ultra90 PoE++ ports as required and power the switch. Use the pre-configured audio and video profiles for common signal types or open the AV user interface to assign port-based profiles for Dante, Q-SYS, AES67, NVX, NDI and other supported formats. If low-latency, time-synchronized transport is needed, purchase and install the AVB license and enable AVB on the switch. For multi-switch installations, interconnect the M4250 units and rely on NETGEAR IGMP Plus to automate multicast forwarding and simplify configuration.

Recommendations

For installations requiring extremely low latency and precise synchronization (for example live performance audio), enable the AVB profile by purchasing the optional AVB license. Use the AV user interface to apply port-based profiles that match your audio and video systems, and place switches with rear-facing ports in racks to maintain neat cable routing.
