NETGEAR M4250-10G2XF-PoE++ AV Network Switch for AV over IP

The NETGEAR M4250-10G2XF-PoE++ AV Switch is purpose-built for professional AV over IP deployments that demand reliable networking, high-power PoE, and clean rack integration. Engineered specifically for audio/video professionals, this managed AV switch combines NETGEAR's switching expertise with workflow-focused features such as a dedicated AV web-based interface, pre-configured AV profiles, and rear-facing ports for streamlined installations.

Designed for environments using 1Gbps AV codecs, the M4250-10G2XF-PoE++ supports a broad range of audio, video, and control applications in corporate AV, education, live production, digital signage, and installed systems. Integrators can quickly deploy Dante, Q-SYS, AES67, NVX, SVSI, NDI, and mixed AV/control profiles, while more advanced users benefit from a fully featured Layer 2, Layer 3, and Layer 4 platform with routing, DHCP server functionality, and precision timing support.

With eight Ultra90 PoE++ ports, a 720W PoE budget, dual 10G SFP+ uplinks, and automated switch interconnect features such as Auto-Trunk, Auto-LAG, and IGMP Plus, this NETGEAR AV switch is built to simplify complex installations. Flexible mounting options, selectable fan modes, and both front- and rear-port orientation make it a strong fit for professional AV racks and enterprise edge deployments alike.
