- 05 June, 2025
With Four New Models Enhanced for Broadcast Applications...
New M4350 Switches Deliver Reliable Timing and Simplify Setup for SMPTE ST 2110 Workflows.
USA: NETGEAR®, a global leader in intelligent networking solutions designed to power extraordinary
experiences, is expanding its M4350 managed switch portfolio with four new models.
Designed specifically for broadcast and pro-AV applications, the new switches boast features that
accelerate deployment, simplify management, and deliver the performance and reliability essential
in professional media environments. These M4350 Phase 3 switches will debut at InfoComm 2025
(NETGEAR booth 4401) in Orlando, Florida.
Expanded M4350 Portfolio for Broadcast and Pro AV
Featuring advanced capabilities ideal for IP-based installations, the four new M4350 switches address specific industry needs, particularly for live event and broadcast applications.
Key features for all models include:
- Multicolor LED Port Identification: This novel feature displays user-selected colors physically on each port, matching colors assigned in the NETGEAR AV OS™. This innovation makes it easy for technicians to identify which cables should be connected to specific ports, simply by finding the corresponding LED color. Rapid port identification significantly simplifies deployment,
reduces setup time, and decreases the possibility for error.
- Enhanced SMPTE ST 2110 Support: All new M4350 models include built-in grandmaster clock
and boundary clock functionality, which are critical for SMPTE ST 2110 broadcast applications,
while maintaining transparent clock capabilities across the entire M4350 and M4250 switch lines.
With this functionality, the latest NETGEAR AV managed switches can serve as the primary
timing source for a broadcast network.
- Secure Power Connection: Introduced with the latest M4350 switches, a new mechanism secures power cables to the chassis, preventing accidental disconnections during critical live events.
- TAA Compliance: The new M4350 models all comply with the strict government policy regarding
the Trade Agreement Act (TAA) to ensure products originate from approved countries.
"These new additions to our M4350 line demonstrate NETGEAR AV's ongoing commitment to addressing the specific needs of broadcast and pro AV professionals," said Laurent Masia, Senior Director of Product Line Management for Managed Switches at NETGEAR. "Enhanced SMPTE ST 2110 support and innovative features such as multicolor LED port identification make these switches ideal for demanding applications where reliability and ease of deployment are essential."
