NET-XSM4216F: Fibre Connectivity for ProAV Network Integration
The NET-XSM4216F switch is engineered for professional AV network deployments requiring high-density fibre connectivity and flexible installation options. This managed switch incorporates a stackable design, supporting streamlined cable topologies in control rooms, signage networks, and hybrid AV environments. With all ports accepting 10G SFP+ modules and the first twelve also supporting 1G operation, the unit addresses diverse bandwidth and legacy device requirements. Compatibility with standard rack or VESA mounting simplifies integration into equipment racks or display enclosures, while auto-connect functionality ensures seamless expansion within M4250-based infrastructures.

• Sixteen SFP+ Ports for 10G Fibre: All sixteen SFP+ slots accept 10G fibre modules, supporting high-throughput data transport in AV-over-IP, streaming, and control signal applications. This configuration enables scalable network backbones for demanding environments such as broadcast suites, conference venues, or distributed signage systems.

• 1G Compatibility on First Twelve Ports: The initial twelve SFP+ ports also support 1G modules, facilitating integration with legacy devices or mixed-bandwidth segments. This dual-rate capability allows gradual infrastructure upgrades and flexible device interconnection across varied AV installations.

• Standard Rack or VESA Mounting: The chassis accommodates both standard rack and VESA mounting, enabling installation in equipment racks, behind displays, or within podiums. This mechanical versatility supports space-constrained environments and diverse AV system layouts.

• Stackable Managed Switch Design: The unit’s stackable architecture allows multiple switches to operate as a single logical system, simplifying network management and increasing port density. This is particularly suited to large-scale AV deployments requiring centralised control and redundancy.

• Auto-Connects with M4250 Series: Integrated auto-connect functionality detects and configures links with any M4250 switch, streamlining network expansion and reducing configuration time during staged AV rollouts or system upgrades.
