Netgear M4350-32F8V 32-Port 10G SFP+ and 8-Port 25G Fully Managed AV Fiber Switch - XSM4340FV-100NES

Product Overview

The NETGEAR M4350-32F8V (XSM4340FV-100NES) is a fully managed, high-density all-fiber AV switch built for large-scale AV-over-IP backbones. It combines 32 SFP+ ports running 1G or 10G with eight 25G SFP28 ports — 40 total fiber ports in a 1U chassis. This NETGEAR AV Line fiber switch serves as a distribution or core layer in enterprise AV networks, broadcast facilities, and large venue installations that require pure fiber infrastructure with 25G uplink capacity.

Product Description

The M4350-32F8V provides 32 SFP+ ports that accept both 1G SFP and 10G SFP+ transceivers, letting a single switch serve legacy 1G fiber links and 10G endpoints. Eight 25G SFP28 ports handle high-bandwidth aggregation and inter-switch links. The pure fiber architecture delivers EMI-immune, long-distance, secure connectivity well suited to distributed AV rack rooms and inter-building runs. It ships with the NETGEAR AV User Interface and Engage Controller, providing certified one-click profiles for Dante, NDI, Q-SYS, AES67, AVB, Crestron NVX, and AMX SVSI at no additional cost. NETGEAR IGMP Plus delivers Layer-2 multicast management for AV-over-IP without PIM. A modular PSU bay accepts a hot-swap second supply for 1+1 redundancy, and the platform runs full Layer 3 routing with OSPF, RIPv1/v2, VRRP, and policy-based routing. A TAA variant (XSM4340FV-TAANES) is available for government and federal procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the SFP+ ports run both 1G and 10G optics?
Yes. All 32 SFP+ ports accept 1G SFP and 10G SFP+ transceivers, so the switch can serve legacy 1G fiber links and 10G endpoints simultaneously.

Is this a copper or fiber switch?
It is an all-fiber switch — 32 SFP+ and 8 SFP28 ports, 40 fiber ports total. There are no copper PoE access ports, which makes it a distribution or core layer device rather than an edge switch.

How does it fit into an AV-over-IP design?
It acts as a fiber core or distribution switch aggregating edge switches and endpoints. The Engage Controller and IGMP Plus deliver AV-native multicast management for Dante, NDI, Q-SYS, and other certified protocols.

Does it support redundant power?
Yes. The modular PSU bay accepts a hot-swap second supply for 1+1 redundancy, and NSF hitless failover supports high-availability stacking.

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