NET-XSM4328FV – Managed Switch: High-Capacity Optical Aggregation for AV Networks
The NET-XSM4328FV is a managed switch engineered for professional AV deployments requiring high-density optical connectivity and advanced network control. This unit incorporates twenty-four SFP+ ports alongside four SFP28 uplinks, supporting scalable fibre topologies in control rooms, signage networks, and hybrid AV environments. An internal power supply with modular redundancy enhances operational reliability, while integrated AV-specific management tools streamline configuration and monitoring. The switch’s virtual chassis stacking and comprehensive routing functions address complex signal distribution in multi-zone or mission-critical installations.

• High-Density Optical Connectivity: The switch provides 24x 10GBASE-X SFP+ ports and 4x 25GBASE-X SFP28 uplinks, supporting extensive fibre aggregation in large-scale AV networks. This configuration enables flexible uplink options and ensures sufficient bandwidth for high-resolution video, audio, and control data transport across distributed environments.

• Integrated 240W Power Supply: An internal 240W power supply delivers stable operation for all ports under full load. The design includes a dedicated slot for a modular power supply, supporting 1+1 redundancy to minimise downtime and maintain service continuity in critical AV applications.

• Redundant Power Architecture: The modular power slot allows for seamless addition of a second power supply, enabling hot-swappable redundancy. This feature is essential for installations where uninterrupted network operation is required, such as live event control rooms or enterprise signage systems.

• Advanced Routing and Stacking: Virtual chassis stacking, together with static, policy-based, and dynamic routing capabilities, facilitates efficient network segmentation and traffic management. These functions support flexible deployment in multi-zone AV environments, ensuring optimal signal flow and resource allocation.

• AV-Focused Management Tools: NETGEAR IGMP Plus™, a dedicated AV User Interface, and Engage Controller integration accelerate AV system setup and monitoring. These tools simplify multicast management and device provisioning, reducing configuration time in complex installations such as conference centres or hybrid workspaces.
