NET-XSM4556 – Managed 48-Port 10G/25G Switch: High-Bandwidth AV over IP Backbone for Professional Environments
The NET-XSM4556 is a managed switch engineered for large-scale AV over IP deployments, featuring forty-eight 10G/25G SFP28 ports and eight 100G QSFP28 uplinks. Its modular chassis incorporates dual redundant power supplies and six hot-swappable fan trays, supporting continuous operation in mission-critical AV environments. Out-of-band management, comprehensive Layer 2/3/4 services, and full SDVoE compliance make this unit suitable for control rooms, hybrid workspaces, and high-density meeting venues. The switch’s architecture addresses demanding bandwidth, redundancy, and management requirements typical of modern AV installations.
-
Redundant Power and Cooling: Two modular APS750W power supplies are pre-installed to provide 1+1 power redundancy, while six AFT402 modular fan trays deliver 4+2 cooling redundancy. This configuration ensures uninterrupted operation and rapid component replacement, supporting continuous uptime in critical AV applications such as control rooms and live event spaces.
-
Comprehensive Management Interfaces: Out-of-band 1G Ethernet management, RJ45 RS232 console, and USB storage ports are integrated to facilitate flexible device access and configuration. These interfaces enable remote monitoring, firmware updates, and secure troubleshooting, which are essential for distributed AV deployments and centralised network administration.
-
Advanced AV over IP Services: Layer 2, Layer 3, and Layer 4 feature sets support full SDVoE (Software Defined Video over Ethernet) compliance, optimising the switch for high-performance video distribution. Enhanced IGMP+ enables seamless Plug&Play Layer 2 multicast between M4300 and M4500 series switches, streamlining AV signal routing in complex network topologies.
-
Dynamic Routing Protocols Supported: Static and dynamic routing capabilities include VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol), OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), VRF-Lite (Virtual Routing and Forwarding), and PIM-SM/SSM (Protocol Independent Multicast). These protocols facilitate scalable, resilient network architectures across multi-zone AV installations.
-
ProSAFE® Limited Lifetime Warranty: The NETGEAR ProSAFE® limited lifetime hardware warranty provides long-term coverage for critical components. This warranty ensures ongoing support and hardware replacement, which is particularly relevant for professional AV environments requiring high reliability and minimal downtime.
Integrated Platform for Demanding AV Networks
By combining high-density 10G/25G connectivity, advanced routing protocols, and robust redundancy features, the NET-XSM4556 supports stable, scalable AV over IP infrastructures. The switch serves as a centralised backbone for installations where uninterrupted operation, granular management, and seamless multicast handling are essential for professional AV performance.
