NET-XSM4340V – Managed Multi-Gig PoE++ Switch: Flexible High-Bandwidth AV Network Distribution
The NET-XSM4340V is a managed switch engineered for professional AV environments requiring high-capacity network distribution and robust power delivery. Its chassis integrates 24 multi-gigabit PoE++ ports, 8 SFP+ 10G, and 8 SFP28 25G uplinks, supporting both copper and fibre connectivity. The unit features a substantial base PoE budget, expandable via modular power supply redundancy, ensuring operational continuity in control rooms, meeting spaces, or hybrid deployments. Advanced management interfaces, including NETGEAR IGMP Plus™ and the AV User Interface, streamline configuration for AV-over-IP and multicast applications.

• 24x 10G/Multi-Gig PoE++ Ports: The switch provides twenty-four multi-gigabit ports with PoE++ capability, supporting high-throughput data and simultaneous power delivery for AV endpoints. This configuration accommodates networked audio, video, and control devices in dense workspace or signage deployments.

• 8x 10GBASE-X SFP+ and 8x 25GBASE-X SFP28 Ports: Eight SFP+ and eight SFP28 slots enable flexible uplink options, facilitating high-bandwidth fibre interconnects or stacking between distributed AV racks. This port mix supports scalable expansion and low-latency backbone links in large installations.

• 750W Internal Power Supply with 290W PoE Budget: The integrated power supply delivers a 290W PoE budget as standard, with the ability to scale up to 1,770W using modular redundancy. This supports power-hungry AV devices and ensures reliable operation in scenarios with fluctuating load requirements.

• 1 Slot for Modular Power Supply: The dedicated slot allows for 1+1 redundancy or external power sharing (EPS), minimising downtime and supporting continuous operation. This feature is critical for mission-critical AV environments requiring uninterrupted service.

• 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.

Comprehensive Network Backbone for ProAV Integration
By combining high-density multi-gig PoE++ ports, extensive fibre uplink options, and advanced redundancy features, the NET-XSM4340V supports reliable network infrastructure for AV-over-IP, control, and unified communications. The inclusion of AV-specific management tools and stacking capabilities streamlines deployment, enabling efficient, scalable distribution in professional meeting rooms, control centres, and hybrid workspace environments.
