Netgear M4350-8X8F 16-Port 10G/Multi-Gig Fully Managed AV Switch - XSM4316-100NES

Product Overview

The NETGEAR M4350-8X8F (XSM4316-100NES) is a fully managed AV switch that packs sixteen 10G ports into a half-width 1U chassis: eight 10G/Multi-Gig copper ports and eight 10G SFP+ fiber ports. Built for AV-over-IP aggregation and distribution, this 16-port 10G AV switch suits high-bandwidth media networks where rack space is limited. As part of the NETGEAR M4350 series, it combines AV-optimized configuration with Layer 3 routing and Virtual Chassis stacking.

Product Description

The M4350-8X8F provides eight RJ45 copper ports that auto-negotiate 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G and eight 10G SFP+ fiber ports, giving installers both copper and fiber 10G media in one device for flexible AV-over-IP distribution and core aggregation. It ships with the NETGEAR AV User Interface and Engage Controller, which apply certified one-click profiles for Dante, NDI, Q-SYS, AES67, AVB, Crestron NVX, and AMX SVSI at no additional licensing cost. NETGEAR IGMP Plus handles Layer-2 multicast management without PIM, so video-over-IP delivery works with little setup. Auto-trunk and auto-LAG functionality connects the switch to other M4350 and M4250 switches automatically, and Virtual Chassis stacking adds non-stop forwarding (NSF) with hitless failover. The half-width chassis measures 220mm wide and 400mm deep; an included pairing kit mounts two units side by side in a single 1U rack space. A quiet mode rated at 34.4dB keeps fan noise low in occupied rooms, and the switch supports jumbo frames up to 12KB for high-bandwidth media flows.

Key Features

• 8x 10G/Multi-Gig copper ports — RJ45 auto-negotiate 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G for copper AV-over-IP endpoints.
• 8x 10G SFP+ fiber ports — 10GBASE-X fiber for long-distance or inter-building distribution.
• Half-width 1U chassis — includes a pairing kit to mount two units in a single rack space.
• NETGEAR AV UI + Engage Controller — certified one-click profiles for Dante, NDI, Q-SYS, AES67, AVB, Crestron NVX, and AMX SVSI, no license required.
• NETGEAR IGMP Plus — Layer-2 multicast management without PIM for low-effort AV-over-IP setup.
• Auto-trunk and auto-LAG — connects automatically to other M4350 and M4250 switches.
• Virtual Chassis stacking — non-stop forwarding and hitless failover for high availability.
• Layer 3 routing — static, policy-based, and dynamic routing for segmented AV and IT networks.
• Jumbo frame support — frames up to 12KB for high-bandwidth media flows.
• Quiet mode acoustics — 34.4dB at 25C for noise-sensitive installations.
• NETGEAR ProSAFE Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty — covers the switch hardware for its service life.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studio — aggregates 10G NDI and SDVoE video flows on copper and fiber.
• Auditorium — distributes high-bandwidth AV-over-IP across stage, control, and overflow areas.
• House of worship — backbones 10G video and Dante audio between the sanctuary and production spaces.
• Conference room — provides 10G distribution to displays, encoders, and decoders.
• Commercial meeting space — compact 10G aggregation for AV-over-IP edge devices.
• Government space — Layer 3 segmentation of AV and IT traffic in space-constrained racks.
• Training room — converged copper and fiber 10G connectivity for media-rich instruction.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the M4350-8X8F support PoE?
No. This model is non-PoE and is intended for 10G aggregation and distribution. For PoE+ edge ports, consider a PoE model in the M4350 series.

Can I mount two units in one rack space?
Yes. The half-width chassis is 220mm wide, and an included pairing kit mounts two units side by side in a single 1U rack space.

Are AV protocol profiles licensed separately?
No. The NETGEAR AV User Interface, Engage Controller, and AVB support are included, with certified profiles for Dante, NDI, Q-SYS, AES67, Crestron NVX, and AMX SVSI.

How does it handle AV-over-IP multicast?
NETGEAR IGMP Plus provides Layer-2 multicast management without PIM, so video-over-IP works with little configuration out of the box.

What warranty applies?
This switch is backed by the NETGEAR ProSAFE Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty. Contact our team for current support options.
