Netgear GSM4212UX-100NAS M4250-10G2XF-POE++ AV Switch

Product Overview

The NETGEAR M4250-10G2XF-PoE++ AV switch (GSM4212UX-100NAS) is a compact, high-power managed switch built for AV-over-IP endpoints that draw serious wattage. It pairs eight 1G Ultra90 PoE++ copper ports delivering up to 90W each with two 1G/10G SFP+ fiber uplinks, making it well suited to PTZ cameras, large displays, and networked lighting. The NETGEAR GSM4212UX runs the AV Line firmware with pre-configured profiles for Dante, Q-SYS, NDI, and Crestron NVX. A dedicated AV web GUI and NETGEAR IGMP Plus shorten commissioning for installed AV systems.

Product Description

This Ultra90 PoE++ switch provides eight RJ45 access ports rated to 802.3af/at/bt with up to 90W per port and a 720W total PoE budget, enough headroom for endpoints that earlier PoE+ switches could not power. Two 1G copper uplinks and two 1G/10G SFP+ fiber ports handle backbone and inter-switch connectivity, while the full Layer 2 and Layer 3 engine supports static, RIP, and PIM routing plus a DHCP server. NETGEAR IGMP Plus manages AV-over-IP multicast at Layer 2 without requiring PIM, and Auto-Trunk and Auto-LAG simplify multi-switch interconnect. The dedicated AV GUI presents color-coded, port-based profiles so technicians can assign audio, video, and control roles quickly, while a parallel IT GUI, CLI, SNMP, and sFlow provide deeper network management. PTPv2 supports time-sensitive media. The unit is a 1U rack-mount design with reversible front/rear mounting, suiting compact edge racks and equipment closets.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much PoE power can each port deliver?
Each of the eight Ultra90 PoE++ ports supports 802.3af/at/bt and can deliver up to 90W, with a 720W total budget shared across the switch.

What AV platforms are supported out of the box?
Pre-configured profiles cover Dante, Q-SYS, AES67, AMX SVSI, Crestron NVX, and NDI. AVB requires a separate license.

Does AV-over-IP multicast require PIM?
No. NETGEAR IGMP Plus handles AV multicast at Layer 2, so you can deploy multi-switch AV-over-IP without configuring PIM.

Is this switch a good fit for edge racks?
Yes. The compact 1U chassis with reversible front/rear mounting suits edge racks and equipment closets while still providing 10G fiber uplinks.

What warranty is included?
The switch is backed by NETGEAR's ProSAFE limited lifetime hardware warranty.
