NETGEAR GSM4212UX — M4250-10G2XF-PoE++ Managed Switch with 8x1G Utra90 PoE++ 802.3bt 720W 2x1G and 2xSFP+ (GSM4212UX)

NETGEAR GSM4212UX Fully Managed Gigabit PoE++ AV Switch with 10G Fibre Uplinks

The NETGEAR GSM4212UX is a fully managed Layer 3 Gigabit PoE++ switch designed for
small to mid‑size business and professional AV environments that require very high PoE power,
compact deployment, and reliable AV‑over‑IP performance. As part of the NETGEAR M4250 AV Line,
the GSM4212UX is purpose‑built for audio and video network installations where simplicity, stability,
and clean rack integration are paramount.

High‑Power Gigabit PoE++ Access

The GSM4212UX provides 8 × Gigabit Ethernet PoE++ ports, each capable of delivering up to
90W per port. This makes it ideal for powering advanced WiFi access points, PTZ cameras,
AV encoders and decoders, LED controllers, and other power‑hungry AV and network devices without the need
for external power injectors.

Compact Design with High‑Capacity PoE Budget

Despite its compact form factor, the GSM4212UX delivers an impressive 720W total PoE budget,
enabling dense deployments of PoE++ devices in studios, meeting rooms, classrooms, and AV racks where
space and power efficiency are critical.

10G Fibre Uplinks for Aggregation

The switch includes 10G SFP+ fibre uplink ports to support high‑speed aggregation and
backbone connectivity. These uplinks ensure sufficient bandwidth for AV‑over‑IP traffic and data flows
toward core or distribution switches without creating bottlenecks.

Optimised for AV‑over‑IP Deployments

Designed in collaboration with AV professionals, the GSM4212UX includes built‑in multicast optimisation
and an AV‑centric management interface. Pre‑configured AV profiles enable rapid deployment of audio, video,
and control networks while minimising manual configuration and setup time.

Simplified Management for IT and AV Teams

The switch offers both an AV‑focused web interface and a traditional IT management interface, along with
command‑line access and centralised management options. This dual‑interface approach makes it easy for
both AV integrators and IT administrators to deploy and manage the network efficiently.

Quiet, Installation‑Friendly Build

With fanless or low‑noise operation and a compact rack‑mount form factor, the GSM4212UX
is well suited for noise‑sensitive environments such as studios, conference rooms, and classrooms, as
well as standard wiring closets.
