NETGEAR M4250 GSM4230P - Managed Switch, Black

The NETGEAR GSM4230P-100EUS M4250 PoE+ Managed AV Switch (1U, 300W, 24x PoE+) is a Layer 2/3 switch designed for professional AV-over-IP deployments. It features 30 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports. With a 60 Gbit/s switching capacity and a 44.64 Mpps forwarding rate, it handles high-bandwidth audio and video traffic. Integrated multicast support and IGMP snooping facilitate the simultaneous data distribution required in live production and control-room environments, while the switch segments media traffic to maintain consistent throughput across active connections.

Housed in a 1U chassis, this model is suitable for standard rack or wall mounting in server rooms and media closets. The ports are located on the rear to assist with cable management in equipment racks. Administrators can configure and monitor the device via a web-based interface or a command-line interface (CLI). Security is managed through access control lists (ACLs) and standard authentication methods. With an operating noise level of 34 dB, the unit is suitable for environments where fan noise must be kept to a minimum.
