Netgear M4350 Managed AV Fiber Switch

While it functions as a high-performance managed switch, it is purpose-built for AV-over-IP. It includes a specialized AV-focused user interface and the Engage Controller, which simplifies the configuration of complex protocols like multicast and IGMP, making it much easier to deploy than a standard enterprise switch.

No, this specific model does not support PoE. It is designed primarily for fiber-based AV distribution where power is typically handled separately or via local power supplies at the endpoint.

Yes, this switch supports virtual chassis stacking. This allows you to manage multiple switches as a single logical unit and provides hitless failover, ensuring your media streams remain uninterrupted if a unit goes offline.

The switch features four 10G combo ports, giving you the choice between copper (RJ45) or fiber (SFP+) connections. This flexibility allows you to easily integrate the switch into existing copper-based infrastructure or high-speed fiber backbones.

Yes, it includes native support for AES67, which is essential for professional audio-over-IP workflows. This ensures reliable, low-latency audio transport across your network alongside your video streams.

The unit features a modular PSU bay, allowing for 1+1 power redundancy. This is a critical feature for broadcast and live event environments where power stability is non-negotiable.
