Netgear GSM4248PX-TAANAS M4250-40G8XF-POE+ MANAGED SWITCH (TAA compliant)

Product Overview

The NETGEAR M4250-40G8XF-PoE+ (GSM4248PX-TAANAS) is a TAA-compliant, fully managed AV switch engineered for high-density AV-over-IP distribution. This M4250-40G8XF-PoE+ managed switch combines 40 Gigabit PoE+ copper ports with eight 1G/10G SFP+ fiber uplinks, making it well suited to large-scale networked AV and federal procurement. Its dedicated AV web GUI, color-coded AV profiles, and NETGEAR IGMP Plus simplify deployment for integrators standardizing on the NETGEAR AV Line. As a TAA-compliant AV switch, it fits secure government and public-sector environments that require domestic-sourcing compliance.

Product Description

Built from the ground up for AV-over-IP, the GSM4248PX-TAANAS delivers 40 1G PoE+ RJ45 ports backed by a 960W PoE budget and eight 1G/10G SFP+ fiber ports across a 240 Gbps non-blocking fabric spanning 48 ports. Pre-configured AV profiles let technicians assign Dante, Q-SYS, AES67, AMX SVSI, Crestron NVX, and NDI traffic to ports without deep networking expertise, while the AV GUI keeps multicast configuration visual and repeatable. NETGEAR IGMP Plus provides Layer-2 multicast control without PIM, and Auto-Trunk and Auto-LAG simplify multi-switch interconnect. A full Layer 2/Layer 3 engine adds static, RIP, and PIM routing, a DHCP server, and PTPv2 clock distribution for time-sensitive audio and video. As a TAA-compliant model, it is positioned for U.S. federal, government, and public-sector projects that mandate compliant hardware.

Key Features

• 40x 1G PoE+ copper ports — RJ45 endpoints with a 960W total PoE budget power encoders, decoders, cameras, and DSPs over the same cable as data.
• Eight 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks — fiber uplinks aggregate to a core switch or link multiple AV-over-IP switches at 10G.
• 240 Gbps non-blocking fabric — line-rate switching across all 48 ports keeps high-bitrate video flows clean.
• Dedicated AV web GUI — color-coded, port-based AV profiles speed setup and reduce configuration errors.
• Audio and video AV profiles — Dante, Q-SYS, AES67, and AVB (license sold separately) for audio; AMX SVSI, Crestron NVX, Q-SYS, NDI, and Dante for video.
• NETGEAR IGMP Plus — Layer-2 multicast control without PIM, plus Auto-Trunk and Auto-LAG for plug-and-play interconnect.
• Full Layer 2/Layer 3 engine — static, RIP, and PIM routing, DHCP server, and PTPv2 for synchronized AV.
• TAA compliant — meets sourcing requirements for U.S. federal, government, and public-sector procurement.
• 1U rack-mountable — reversible front/rear mounting and selectable fan modes for varied rack layouts.

Typical Applications

• Government space — TAA-compliant AV-over-IP distribution for secure federal and public-sector facilities.
• Auditorium — high-port-count distribution for NDI, AMX SVSI, and Crestron NVX video.
• Broadcast studio — PTPv2 timing and 10G uplinks for networked production workflows.
• All-hands room — large-scale audio and video distribution with Dante and Q-SYS.
• Training room — PoE+ delivery to encoders, decoders, and cameras across classrooms and lecture halls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the M4250-40G8XF-PoE+ require networking expertise to configure for AV?
No. The dedicated AV web GUI provides color-coded, port-based profiles for Dante, Q-SYS, AMX SVSI, Crestron NVX, and NDI, so technicians can assign AV traffic to ports without manual multicast configuration.

How much PoE power is available?
The switch provides 802.3af/at PoE+ across its 40 copper ports with a 960W total PoE budget for powering encoders, decoders, cameras, and DSPs.

Can I use this switch in federal or government installations?
Yes. The GSM4248PX-TAANAS is a TAA-compliant model intended for U.S. federal, government, and public-sector procurement.

How does it interconnect with other AV switches?
Eight 1G/10G SFP+ fiber ports provide 10G uplinks, and NETGEAR IGMP Plus, Auto-Trunk, and Auto-LAG simplify multi-switch interconnect across the M4250 line.

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