NETGEAR M4250-40G8F-PoE+ Managed AV Switch (GSM4248P)

The M4250-40G8F-PoE+ is the 48-port member of NETGEAR's M4250 AV Line, laid out as 40 x 1G PoE+ and 8 x SFP. Its power budget is 40 PoE+ (30W/port), 480W Budget, and that number is what decides how many cameras, ceiling speakers, access points and touch panels this one switch can actually start and hold. Access ports run at 1 Gigabit.

What separates an AV Line switch from a generic managed switch is the software. You assign a configuration profile to each port instead of hand-typing a CLI, and the VLAN, QoS and multicast settings that profile needs are applied for you. NETGEAR IGMP Plus provides multicast right out of the box for most AV over IP work, which is what keeps a video-over-IP system alive on Layer 2 without standing up PIM. NETGEAR rates its acoustics at Fanless or 47dB@25 deg C. Covered by NETGEAR's limited lifetime hardware warranty.
