Netgear M4350-12X12F 24-Port 10G/Multi-Gig Fully Managed AV Switch - XSM4324-100NES

Product Overview

The NETGEAR M4350-12X12F is a fully managed AV-over-IP switch purpose-built for high-bandwidth media networks. This M4350-12X12F AV switch provides 24 ports of 10G connectivity — twelve 10G/Multi-Gig copper ports and twelve 10G SFP+ fiber ports — in a compact half-width 1U chassis. It ships with the NETGEAR AV User Interface and Engage Controller for certified one-click AV profiles, making it a strong fit for Dante, NDI, and Crestron NVX backbones. The unit is sold under NETGEAR part number XSM4324-100NES.

Product Description

The M4350-12X12F pairs twelve RJ45 copper ports that auto-negotiate at 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G with twelve 10G SFP+ cages for fiber, giving AV integrators both Multi-Gig copper to endpoints and fiber for long-run or inter-building distribution. The switch runs NETGEAR's AV-focused operating mode with the AV User Interface and Engage Controller, which apply certified configuration profiles for Dante, NDI, Q-SYS, AES67, AVB, Crestron NVX, and AMX SVSI without additional licensing. NETGEAR IGMP Plus provides Layer-2 multicast handling tuned for AV-over-IP, allowing multicast video streams to be set up without the manual IGMP querier and PIM configuration that general-purpose switches require. Full Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing, advanced QoS, and security features are included. For high availability, the platform supports Virtual Chassis stacking with non-stop forwarding (NSF) hitless failover and a modular PSU bay that accepts a second hot-swap supply for 1+1 power redundancy.
