NETGEAR M4250-10G2XF-PoE++ Managed L2/L3 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) Power over Ethernet (PoE) 1U Black

The NETGEAR M4250 series is a managed switch family engineered for 1G AV over IP with PoE+ and Ultra90 PoE++ support, featuring rear-facing ports for neat integration in AV racks. M4250 switches arrive pre-configured for common audio and video signals and include profiles for Dante, Q-SYS and AES67 audio, as well as NVX, SVSI, Q-SYS, NDI and mixed audio/video/control video profiles. When multiple switches are used, NETGEAR IGMP Plus automates multicast handling to simplify interconnection.

Advantages

The M4250 provides factory AV-oriented configurations that reduce setup time while allowing further customization through an AV user interface with port-based profiles. Rear-facing ports keep rack installations tidy. Optional licensing enables AVB for extremely low-latency audio/video transport when required. Integrated support for common AV protocols and PoE power options (PoE+ and Ultra90 PoE++) makes the series suitable for a range of AV deployments.

Key specifications

• Designed for 1G AV over IP
• PoE+ and Ultra90 PoE++ support
• Rear-facing ports for rack integration
• Pre-configured AV profiles with port-based customization
• Audio profiles: Dante, Q-SYS, AES67
• Video profiles: NVX, SVSI, Q-SYS, NDI and mixed AV/control profiles
• Optional AVB support via separate license
• NETGEAR IGMP Plus for automated multicast across multiple switches

How to use

Install the M4250 in the AV rack with rear-facing ports oriented toward cable management. Use the factory AV presets for common audio and video deployments, then access the AV user interface to apply or adjust port-based profiles for Dante, Q-SYS, AES67 or specific video systems. Enable Ultra90 PoE++ or PoE+ as needed to power connected devices. If low-latency synchronized audio/video is required, purchase and apply the AVB license for AVB functionality.

Recommendations

For multi-switch setups, connect switches and enable NETGEAR IGMP Plus to automate multicast routing and simplify configuration. If your installation requires lip-sync-accurate audio/video, add the optional AVB license for guaranteed low latency.
