Netgear M4350-16V4C 16-Port 25G SFP28 Fully Managed AV Switch with 4x 100G QSFP28 (TAA Compliant) - VSM4320C-TAANES

Product Overview

The NETGEAR M4350-16V4C (VSM4320C-TAANES) is a TAA-compliant 25G SFP28 AV-over-IP switch built for federal broadcast, SMPTE ST 2110 media production, and high-performance 25G/100G spine aggregation. Sixteen 25G SFP28 ports and four 100G QSFP28 uplinks give AV integrators a Trade Agreements Act compliant core that meets GSA Schedule and federal procurement requirements. As a fully managed Layer 3 switch in a compact 1U rack-mount chassis, it anchors uncompressed video networks where standard commercial hardware cannot be specified.

Product Description

This TAA-compliant variant of the M4350-16V4C delivers the same feature set as the commercial SKU while satisfying documentation requirements for government and regulated deployments. The sixteen 25GBASE-X SFP28 ports support high-bandwidth AV-over-IP endpoints and aggregation, while the four 100GBASE-X QSFP28 uplinks provide data-center-class spine connectivity for large media networks. NETGEAR IGMP Plus delivers Layer 2 multicast control out of the box without PIM configuration, and the included AV User Interface plus Engage Controller let integrators assign certified AV profiles to ports in minutes. The platform supports SMPTE ST 2110 uncompressed broadcast video along with Dante, NDI, Q-SYS, AES67, AVB, Crestron NVX, and AMX SVSI traffic, with no additional protocol licensing. A 420W internal supply plus one modular PSU slot enables 1+1 power redundancy, and Virtual Chassis stacking provides non-stop forwarding with hitless failover for mission-critical broadcast and government facilities. The full Layer 3 routing stack supports static, policy-based, and dynamic routing for AV backbones that double as production networks.

Key Features

• TAA Compliant — A Trade Agreements Act compliant SKU makes this switch eligible for GSA Schedule and federal procurement where commercial hardware is not permitted.
• 16x 25G SFP28 Ports — Sixteen 25GBASE-X SFP28 ports provide high-bandwidth access and aggregation for demanding AV-over-IP and broadcast endpoints.
• 4x 100G QSFP28 Uplinks — Four 100GBASE-X QSFP28 uplinks deliver data-center-class spine connectivity for large-scale media production networks.
• SMPTE ST 2110 Support — Native support for uncompressed professional broadcast video over IP suits studio and production environments.
• NETGEAR IGMP Plus — Enhanced Layer 2 multicast works out of the box for AV-over-IP delivery without the complexity of PIM.
• AV UI and Engage Controller — The included AV User Interface and Engage Controller let integrators apply certified Dante, NDI, Q-SYS, AES67, AVB, ST 2110, NVX, and SVSI profiles with a few clicks.
• 1+1 Power Redundancy — A 420W internal supply plus one modular PSU slot (APS600Wv3, APS1200Wv2, or APS2000Wv2) protects against power loss in critical installations.
• Virtual Chassis Stacking — Stacking with non-stop forwarding and hitless failover keeps the AV network online during a controller transition.
• Full Layer 3 Routing — Static, policy-based, and dynamic routing let the switch serve as both an AV backbone and a routed core.
• Quiet Rack-Mount Design — A 1U chassis with quiet-mode acoustics (33.4dB at 25C) suits broadcast control rooms and equipment racks where noise matters.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studio and SMPTE ST 2110 media production facilities requiring TAA-compliant infrastructure

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the M4350-16V4C suitable for SMPTE ST 2110 broadcast networks?
Yes. NETGEAR lists native SMPTE ST 2110 support, and the 25G access ports with 100G uplinks provide the bandwidth and multicast handling that uncompressed ST 2110 flows require.

How does this switch simplify AV-over-IP multicast?
NETGEAR IGMP Plus provides enhanced Layer 2 multicast that works out of the box for most AV-over-IP applications, so integrators avoid manual PIM design while still controlling flooding.

Does it support common AV control and audio protocols?
The AV UI and Engage Controller include certified profiles for Dante, NDI, Q-SYS, AES67, AVB, ST 2110, Crestron NVX, and AMX SVSI, with no additional protocol license required.

Can I add power redundancy?
Yes. The switch ships with a 420W internal supply and has one modular slot for a second PSU (APS600Wv3, APS1200Wv2, or APS2000Wv2) to provide 1+1 redundancy in critical deployments.

What warranty and support are available?
NETGEAR backs this product with the NETGEAR ProSAFE Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty, and NETGEAR offers paid Sprint and Overdrive support tiers with advance RMA replacement; contact our team to confirm current terms before purchase.
