The NETGEAR AV Line M4250 series was designed with input from AV Professionals. The result is a line of switches built from the ground up to support 1Gb audio and video over IP with customized hardware and software along with dedicated service and support.
NETGEAR M4250 series key features:
- Ranges from 8 to 16 ports with a variety of PoE+ and Ultra90 PoE++ options for 15.4W, 30W, 60W, 75W and 90W AVoIP endpoints
- Uplink options include 1G for audio installations or standalone video installations as well as 10G uplinks for larger scale video deployments
- Also includes 12-port multi-gigabit Ethernet and 16-port 1G/10G fiber models for plug and play aggregation in a star topology
- Designed for a clean integration with traditionalrack-mounted, AV equipment
- The M4250 switches come with a sleek, black display panel with status in front and all cabling plus additional status in the back
- Reversed mounting is possible when ports are desired on the front of the rack
- A second pair of rackmount ears allows the switches to be mounted recessed by 2-inches to allow for the cabling
- Software-controlled fan adjustments enable the fans to be turned off when ambient temperature and PoE loads are appropriate for a totally fanless operation
- Threaded holes on the bottom (4xM5 for 50x100mm VESA) and in front (1xM10 for clamps) allow for universal mountingoptionsoutside the rack as well
NETGEAR M4250 series AV software features:
