Netgear M4350-40X4C 40-Port 10G/Multi-Gig PoE++ Fully Managed AV Switch with 100G Uplinks (TAA Compliant) - XSM4344C-TAANES

Product Overview

The NETGEAR M4350-40X4C (XSM4344C-TAANES) is the TAA-compliant variant of NETGEAR's high-density managed AV switch, built for federal and public-sector AV-over-IP deployments. It pairs 40 Multi-Gigabit PoE++ access ports with four 100G QSFP28 uplinks in a Trade Agreements Act compliant chassis that meets GSA Schedule and federal procurement requirements. This TAA-compliant AV switch supports SMPTE ST 2110 uncompressed broadcast video alongside Dante, NDI, and Q-SYS, making it suited to government broadcast, command centers, and large public-sector venues. It delivers the same performance as the commercial SKU while satisfying regulated procurement rules.

Product Description

The M4350-40X4C TAA switch is a 1U rack-mount platform engineered for bandwidth-intensive AV-over-IP networks that require both dense 10G PoE++ endpoint access and 100G aggregation. Its 40 RJ45 ports auto-negotiate across 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G and deliver IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ at up to 90W per port, supporting powered cameras, displays, and audio endpoints. Four 100G QSFP28 uplinks connect the switch to spine switches or a 100G core for data-center-class aggregation. The platform ships with the NETGEAR AV User Interface and Engage Controller, providing one-click certified profiles for Dante, NDI, Q-SYS, AES67, AVB, SMPTE ST 2110, Crestron NVX, and AMX SVSI with no additional licensing. NETGEAR IGMP Plus handles multicast for AV distribution, while Auto-LAG and Auto-Trunk simplify multi-switch deployments. Full Layer 3 routing, Virtual Chassis stacking, and NSF hitless failover support high-availability designs across federal and public-sector facilities. The TAA-compliant chassis allows AV integrators to specify this switch on contracts that mandate Trade Agreements Act compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does TAA compliance mean for this switch?
The XSM4344C-TAANES is manufactured to meet the Trade Agreements Act and is GSA Schedule eligible, which lets federal and public-sector buyers specify it on contracts that mandate TAA compliance. It delivers the same performance as the commercial XSM4344C-100NES SKU.

How much PoE can it deliver to AV endpoints?
All 40 access ports support IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ at up to 90W per port, with a total budget of up to 1,676W for dense deployments of powered cameras, displays, and audio devices.

Which AV protocols and systems does it support?
The included NETGEAR AV UI and Engage Controller provide certified one-click profiles for Dante, NDI, Q-SYS, AES67, AVB, SMPTE ST 2110, Crestron NVX, and AMX SVSI, with no additional licensing required.

How does it fit into a larger AV network?
Its four 100G QSFP28 uplinks aggregate to spine switches or a 100G core, and NETGEAR IGMP Plus with Auto-LAG and Auto-Trunk simplifies multicast distribution and multi-switch stacking. Our team can help design the topology.

What warranty and support are included?
The switch carries the NETGEAR ProSAFE Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty with next-business-day advance replacement. Contact our team for federal procurement and support guidance.
