Netgear GSM4230P-100NAS

AV Line M4250-26G4F 24-Port PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 300W PoE Budget and 10G Uplinks

The Netgear GSM4230P-100NAS is a purpose-built **AV Line M4250-26G4F managed Ethernet Switch** specifically engineered for professional Audio-Visual over IP (AVoIP) installations. This Ethernet Switch is not just a standard IT device; it is a meticulously designed solution with a unique web-based interface and pre-configured profiles that simplify the setup of complex AV networks. With **24 PoE+ ports**, a substantial **300W power budget**, and a mix of high-speed uplinks, it provides a robust and reliable foundation for streaming video, audio, and control signals with zero latency or dropped packets.

This Ethernet Switch is an ideal choice for streamlining installations in professional environments like conference rooms, broadcast studios, and live event venues. Its intelligent design and advanced features ensure a "set it and forget it" experience, allowing AV professionals to focus on their content rather than network configuration.

Features :

The **GSM4230P-100NAS** features **24 Gigabit PoE+ ports** (802.3at), providing up to 30W per port with a total **PoE power budget of 300W**. This is perfect for powering a wide range of AV over IP endpoints. It also includes **4 fiber ports**, consisting of **2 dedicated 1G SFP ports** and **2 dedicated 10G SFP+ ports** for high-speed uplinks to a core network Ethernet Switch or storage server. The Ethernet Switch unique AV-centric web GUI provides an easy-to-use dashboard with pre-configured settings for common AV protocols like **Dante, AVB, and NDI**, ensuring optimal performance right out of the box. Its quiet operation and reversible mounting options make it flexible for various rack and under-table installations.

Advanced Options :

Using an AV-specific Ethernet Switch like the **M4250** is a strategic choice for professional AV installations. Unlike standard IT switches, the M4250's software and hardware are optimized to handle the multicast and high-bandwidth traffic common in AVoIP systems. The **10G SFP+ uplinks** are crucial for ensuring that high-resolution video streams can be transmitted without bottlenecks. The pre-configured AV profiles eliminate the complex and time-consuming manual configuration typically required for managed switches, significantly reducing deployment time and the potential for errors. This level of specialization ensures a stable, low-latency, and high-performance network for even the most demanding AV projects.
