Netgear CSM4532-100NAS (M4500-32C) – 32×100G QSFP28 Managed Switch
Overview
The Netgear CSM4532-100NAS, also known as M4500-32C, is a 100 G–enabled, AV-optimized, fully managed switch purpose-built for high-throughput, multicast-intensive deployments. With 32 QSFP28 ports capable of 100G, 50G, and 40G modes, it serves as a backbone or aggregation switch in AV over IP and data-centric architectures. The unit comes preinstalled with dual modular power supplies and redundant fan trays for 1+1 power and 4+2 fan redundancy, making it reliable in mission-critical environments. Its support for IGMP Plus ensures scalable AV multicast deployments without flooding, and its full Layer 3 feature set (OSPF, BGP, VRRP, routing) makes it suitable as a core or spine switch.
