Netgear MSM4320-TAANES

Product Overview

The NETGEAR MSM4320-TAANES is the TAA-compliant edition of the M4350-16M4V, a 16-port multi-gigabit PoE++ fully managed AV switch engineered for audio/video over IP. It pairs high-power PoE++ across all access ports with a modular uplink slot for 10G or 25G connectivity, serving as a strong edge switch for demanding AV deployments. Eight front-panel Neutrik etherCON ports provide the locking, rugged connectivity that live production and house-of-worship environments rely on. The TAA-compliant build supports procurement requirements for government and federal AV projects.

Product Description

The MSM4320-TAANES (M4350-16M4V) delivers 16 multi-gig PoE++ ports running at 100M, 1G, or 2.5G, with eight of those ports presented as locking Neutrik etherCON connectors on the front panel and eight standard RJ45 ports on the rear edge. The switch provides a 530W base PoE budget that scales up to 1,130W, supplying Ultra90 PoE++ (802.3bt) power for cameras, displays, encoders, and other AV-over-IP endpoints. A modular slot accepts a four-port 10G or 25G card for fiber or copper uplinks into the network core. With 280 Gbps of switching capacity, a 208.32 Mpps line-rate forwarding engine, 16K MAC addresses, and 4 GB of DDR4 RAM, it handles dense multicast AV traffic with measured latency under 0.80 microseconds at 10G fiber.

The TAANES build is manufactured to Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it eligible for many U.S. government and federal AV procurements. Dual fixed 800W power supplies with locking powerCON inlets support redundancy and high PoE demand, while NETGEAR's license-free software stack provides Layer 2 switching, Layer 3 dynamic routing, and AV timing profiles. IGMP Plus contains AV-over-IP multicast so it does not flood the network, and Auto-LAG and Auto-Trunk configure multi-switch uplinks automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the MSM4320-TAANES TAA-compliant?
Yes. The TAANES designation indicates the switch is built to meet Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it eligible for many U.S. government and federal AV procurements.

What are the etherCON ports used for?
The eight front-panel Neutrik etherCON connectors provide locking, ruggedized RJ45 connectivity favored in live production, broadcast, and government AV installs where cable security matters.

How much PoE power does the switch provide?
It delivers a 530W base PoE budget that scales up to 1,130W, supplying Ultra90 PoE++ (802.3bt) power up to 90W per port for cameras, displays, and encoders.

How does it connect to the network core?
A modular slot accepts a four-port 10G or 25G card for fiber or copper uplinks, letting you aggregate into a higher-capacity core switch.

Does it support AV-over-IP protocols?
Yes. The AV web GUI includes pre-configured profiles for major audio and video over IP protocols, and IGMP Plus keeps multicast traffic contained.

What management options are available?
It offers an AV-focused web GUI, a standard IT web GUI, CLI, SSH, Telnet, and SNMP, and integrates with the NETGEAR Engage Controller.

Can Creation Networks help with installation and integration?
Yes. Our team can recommend uplink cards, optics, and accessories and support AV system integration. Contact Creation Networks for project assistance.
