Netgear M4300-52G-POE+ AV Line Managed Switch with 550W POE - GSM4352PA-100NES

Product Overview

The NETGEAR M4300-52G-PoE+ AV Line (GSM4352PA-100NES) is a full-width stackable Layer 3 managed switch built for high-density PoE+ access. It pairs 48 Gigabit PoE+ ports with two 10GBASE-T ports and two 10G SFP+ ports for stacking or uplinks. With a 480W PoE budget and a license-free L2/L3/L4 feature set, this stackable managed switch serves campus LANs, wireless access, unified communications, and AV-over-IP distribution from a single platform.

Product Description

The M4300-52G-PoE+ delivers a resilient, secure access layer in a 1RU full-width chassis. Its 48 Gigabit ports supply IEEE PoE+ from a 480W budget via the APS550W supply, with a second PSU bay adding 1+1 redundancy and up to 720W EPS for business continuity. The four 10G ports are independent and backward compatible to 1G, so they can serve as stacking links or uplinks as the design requires. Mixed 10G/1G stacking with NSF and hitless failover lets multiple units operate as a single managed entity with carrier-class resilience. The license-free L2/L3/L4 engine includes static, policy-based, RIP, OSPF, VRRP, and PIM routing, so the full feature set is available without additional cost. The switch is SDVoE-Ready for AV-over-IP video distribution, uses Zero-Touch IGMP multicast for AV traffic, and is OpenFlow 1.3 / SDN-ready. Single-pane management is provided through NETGEAR NMS300, alongside CLI, web GUI, SNMP, sFlow, and RSPAN.
