NETGEAR AV Line M4250-40G8F-PoE+ (GSM4248P) 40-Port Switch

Forty gigabit PoE+ copper ports with a 480 W total power budget, plus eight SFP fibre uplinks. The big one — for a show network feeding a wall of PoE devices: PTZ cameras, Dante endpoints, NDI converters, panels and access points, all powered down the same cable that carries them.

1U rack. NETGEAR part GSM4248P.

Both are NETGEAR AV Line switches: fully managed, but shipped with profiles for the protocols an AV rack actually runs — Dante, NDI, AES67, Q-SYS and others — so the switch can be set up from the front by someone who works in AV rather than networking. NETGEAR IGMP Plus handles the multicast side, which is where video-over-IP usually falls over on a general-purpose switch.
