Netgear M4350-16V4C 16-Port 25G SFP28 Fully Managed AV Switch with 4x 100G QSFP28 - VSM4320C-100NES

Product Overview

The Netgear M4350-16V4C (VSM4320C-100NES) is a fully managed 25G SFP28 AV switch built to serve as the spine or aggregation layer in high-bandwidth AV-over-IP networks. With sixteen 25G SFP28 ports and four 100G QSFP28 uplinks, it is purpose-built for SMPTE ST 2110 uncompressed broadcast video distribution and dense 25G AV-over-IP deployments. It targets broadcast studios, large venues, and enterprise AV cores where 25G inter-switch bandwidth and 100G aggregation are required. As a 1U rack-mount platform, it consolidates demanding media traffic onto a single managed fabric.

Product Description

The M4350-16V4C aggregates downstream 10G and 25G AV distribution switches and uplinks them at 100G to spine or data-center infrastructure, making it well suited to broadcast and live-production networks. Each of the sixteen 25G SFP28 ports provides high-bandwidth access for 25G AV endpoints and switches, while the four 100G QSFP28 ports deliver data-center-class spine aggregation. The switch ships with the Netgear AV User Interface and Engage Controller, providing certified profiles for Dante, NDI, Q-SYS, AES67, AVB, SMPTE ST 2110, Crestron NVX, and AMX SVSI with no additional licensing. Full Layer 3 routing, NETGEAR IGMP Plus multicast control, advanced QoS, and security are included for predictable media delivery. A modular PSU bay accepts a hot-swap second power supply for 1+1 redundancy, and Virtual Chassis stacking with NSF hitless failover supports high-availability designs. A TAA-compliant variant (VSM4320C-TAANES) is available for government and regulated deployments.
