Netgear M4350-48G4XF 48-Port 1G PoE+ Fully Managed AV Switch with 10G Uplinks - GSM4352-100NES

Product Overview

The NETGEAR M4350-48G4XF (GSM4352-100NES) is a fully managed AV switch built for medium-to-large AV-over-IP deployments, pairing 48 Gigabit PoE+ access ports with four 10G SFP+ uplinks in a 1U chassis. This M4350-48G4XF managed AV switch ships with the NETGEAR AV User Interface and Engage Controller, delivering pre-configured profiles for Dante, NDI, Q-SYS, AES67, AVB, Crestron NVX, and AMX SVSI with no additional AV licensing. With full Layer 3 routing and Virtual Chassis stacking, it works equally well as a high-density AV access switch and an IT-grade distribution switch. It is a strong fit for installations that need many PoE+ endpoints and 10G fiber aggregation in a single rack unit.

Product Description

The GSM4352-100NES provides 48 RJ45 1000BASE-T ports with IEEE 802.3at PoE+ delivering up to 30W per port, plus four 10G SFP+ uplinks for aggregation to a core or distribution layer. A modular PSU bay accepts a hot-swap second power supply for 1+1 redundancy, supporting facilities where downtime is not acceptable. The NETGEAR AV User Interface and Engage Controller apply one-click AV profiles that handle IGMP, QoS, and VLAN settings automatically, with interoperability validated across more than 200 AV manufacturers. NETGEAR IGMP Plus provides zero-configuration Layer-2 multicast for AV-over-IP traffic, while full Layer 3 routing adds static, policy-based, OSPF, RIPv1/v2, and VRRP. Virtual Chassis stacking with NSF Non-Stop Forwarding and hitless failover delivers enterprise-class redundancy, and the switch includes eight hardware QoS queues per port, comprehensive security, and standards-based management.

Key Features

• 48x 1G PoE+ access ports — IEEE 802.3at PoE+ up to 30W per port powers cameras, encoders, decoders, and DSPs.
• 4x 10G SFP+ uplinks — high-speed fiber aggregation to core or distribution switches.
• Modular redundant power — hot-swap second PSU bay for on-chassis 1+1 redundancy without external hardware.
• NETGEAR AV UI + Engage Controller — one-click profiles for Dante, Q-SYS, AES67, AVB, NDI, Crestron NVX, and AMX SVSI with no license.
• NETGEAR IGMP Plus — zero-configuration Layer-2 multicast for AV-over-IP, without PIM.
• Virtual Chassis stacking — NSF Non-Stop Forwarding with hitless failover for high availability.
• Full Layer 3 routing — static, policy-based, OSPF, RIPv1/v2, and VRRP.
• QoS — eight hardware queues per port with 802.1p, DSCP, strict priority, WRR, and DWRR.
• Advanced security — ACLs, 802.1X, DHCP Snooping, DAI, MAC filtering, and port isolation.
• Standards-based management — web GUI, CLI (SSH/Telnet), SNMPv1/v2c/v3, sFlow, RSPAN, TACACS+, and RADIUS.

Typical Applications

• Boardroom — high-density PoE+ connectivity for 20+ networked AV endpoints.
• House of worship — distributed Dante audio and NDI video across large venues.
• Auditorium — lecture halls and performing arts spaces with 10G aggregation.
• All-hands room — corporate town hall and large meeting AV distribution.
• Government space — multi-agency conference centers and meeting facilities.
• Multi-purpose room — flexible, high-density PoE+ endpoint connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the M4350-48G4XF require AV licenses for Dante, NDI, or Q-SYS?
No. The NETGEAR AV User Interface and Engage Controller include pre-configured profiles for Dante, NDI, Q-SYS, AES67, AVB, Crestron NVX, and AMX SVSI with no additional AV licensing.

How much PoE is available per port?
Each of the 48 access ports supports IEEE 802.3at PoE+ delivering up to 30W per port for cameras, encoders, decoders, and DSPs.

Does it support redundant power?
Yes. The chassis includes a modular PSU bay that accepts a hot-swap second power supply for 1+1 redundancy.

How does it integrate into a larger AV-over-IP network?
Four 10G SFP+ uplinks aggregate to a core or distribution layer, and NETGEAR IGMP Plus provides zero-configuration Layer-2 multicast. Virtual Chassis stacking with NSF hitless failover supports high-availability designs.

What warranty is included?
It is covered by the NETGEAR ProSAFE Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty with next-business-day advance replacement.
