NETGEAR M4350-8X8F managed L3 10G Ethernet (100/1000/10000) 1U nero

Edge-to-core stackable network switch platform designed for AV over IP deployments, supporting speeds from 1 Gigabit to 100 Gigabit within a compact 15.75in (40 cm) depth. The unit is engineered for simplified AV configuration, quiet operation, and seamless integration with other compatible NETGEAR switches.

Advantages

The device offers a streamlined graphical AV interface for easy assignment of configuration profiles to individual ports. Integrated NETGEAR IGMP Plus™ delivers multicast functionality out of the box for common AV over IP applications. Quiet mode and reduced fan noise improve suitability for event and studio environments, while included rack-mounting ears enable straightforward installation. Automatic auto-trunk and auto-LAG features provide plug-and-play connectivity with other M4350 and M4250 switches.

Key specifications

• Form factor: Stackable edge-to-core platform with 15.75in (40 cm) depth
• Port speeds: 1 Gigabit to 100 Gigabit
• Management: Graphical AV-focused user interface for per-port profile assignment
• Multicast: NETGEAR IGMP Plus™ built-in for immediate multicast support
• Interoperability: Auto-trunk and auto-LAG with M4350 and M4250 series

How to use

Install the switch in a rack or on a surface using the included mounting ears, connect network links at the desired ports and power on the unit. Use the AV-focused graphical user interface to select factory default AV settings or create and assign custom AV profiles to individual ports. Enable quiet mode if lower fan noise is required. For multicasting, leave NETGEAR IGMP Plus™ enabled to provide immediate multicast handling for Video over IP streams. When connecting with other M4350 or M4250 switches, auto-trunk and auto-LAG functions will detect and form aggregated links automatically.

Recommendations

For best results in AV over IP installations, keep firmware updated, enable IGMP Plus™ for multicast traffic, and use the auto-trunk/auto-LAG features when linking multiple switches. Place units in well-ventilated racks and enable quiet mode only if ambient temperature and airflow allow.
