Its intelligent design and AV-centric features simplify setup and provide a dependable network foundation, allowing AV professionals to focus on content delivery rather than network management.

Features :

The **GSM4248PX-100NAS** features **40 Gigabit PoE+ ports** (802.3at), providing a total **PoE power budget of 600W** to power a wide range of AV over IP endpoints. It also includes **8 dedicated 10G SFP+ ports** for high-speed uplinks to a core network or other AV equipment. 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 a high-density, high-power 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 multiple 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.
