Netgear AV Line M4250-40G8XF-PoE+ (GSM4248PX)40x1G PoE+ 960W and 8xSFP+ Managed Switch - GSM4248PX-100NAS

Product Overview

The NETGEAR AV Line M4250-40G8XF-PoE+ (GSM4248PX-100NAS) is a high-density fully managed switch built from the ground up for AV-over-IP. It delivers 40 Gigabit PoE+ copper ports with a 960W PoE budget and eight 1G/10G SFP+ fiber ports across a 240 Gbps non-blocking fabric. The eight 10G uplinks make this NETGEAR M4250 PoE+ switch a capable aggregation and distribution layer for large-scale video deployments, with pre-configured AV profiles and NETGEAR IGMP Plus to keep installation straightforward.

Product Description

The M4250-40G8XF-PoE+ provides 40 RJ45 1G PoE+ ports backed by a 960W PoE budget for cameras, displays, wireless APs, and other AV endpoints, plus eight SFP+ fiber ports that run at 1G or 10G for aggregation and distribution. A dedicated AV web GUI offers color-coded, port-based AV profiles for fast, error-free setup, with audio profiles for Dante, Q-SYS, AES67, and AVB (AVB license sold separately) and video profiles for AMX SVSI, Crestron NVX, Q-SYS, NDI, and Dante. NETGEAR IGMP Plus provides Layer-2 multicast management without PIM complexity, while Auto-Trunk and Auto-LAG simplify multi-switch interconnect. The platform runs a full Layer 2/Layer 3 engine — static, RIP, and PIM routing, a DHCP server, and PTPv2 for time synchronization. Reversible front- or rear-facing port mounting, selectable fan modes, and VESA/clamp mounting points support clean AV-rack integration, and the switch is backed by NETGEAR's ProSAFE limited lifetime hardware warranty.
