NETGEAR M4250-16XF Managed AV Switch (XSM4216F)

The M4250-16XF is the 16-port member of NETGEAR's M4250 AV Line, laid out as 16 x 1G/10G Fiber SFP+. It carries no PoE, so endpoints bring their own power and the switch is doing pure transport. 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 56.7dB@25 deg C. Covered by NETGEAR's limited lifetime hardware warranty.
