NET-XSM4344C – Managed 40x10G/Multi-Gig PoE++ Switch: High-Capacity Aggregation for AV Networks
The NET-XSM4344C switch integrates forty 10G/Multi-Gig PoE++ ports and four 100GBASE-X QSFP28 uplinks within a single managed platform, supporting advanced aggregation and distribution in AV-over-IP deployments. Its internal power supply and modular redundancy options facilitate continuous operation in mission-critical environments such as control rooms, conferencing spaces, and hybrid meeting infrastructures. The unit’s dedicated AV User Interface and Engage Controller streamline configuration, while NETGEAR IGMP Plus™ optimises multicast management for large-scale AV system integration and dynamic routing requirements.

• High-Density PoE++ Connectivity: Forty 10G/Multi-Gig PoE++ ports deliver both high-bandwidth data and power, supporting diverse AV endpoints including displays, control panels, and conferencing devices. This configuration enables streamlined cabling and centralised power management in complex workspace or meeting room deployments.

• Integrated High-Power Supply: The 750W internal power supply provides a 196W PoE budget as standard, with scalable support up to 1,676W. This allows the switch to accommodate power-intensive AV devices and future expansion without requiring external injectors or supplementary power sources.

• Modular Redundancy and EPS Sharing: One slot for a modular power supply enables 1+1 redundancy or EPS (External Power Supply) sharing. This design ensures uninterrupted operation and enhances fault tolerance in installations where continuous AV service is critical.

• 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.
