NETGEAR GSM4248PX — M4250-40G8XF-PoE+ Managed Switch 40x1G PoE+ 960W and 8xSFP+ AV Line (GSM4248PX)

NETGEAR GSM4248PX Fully Managed Gigabit PoE+ Switch for SMB and AV Networks

The NETGEAR GSM4248PX (M4250‑40G8XF‑PoE+) is a fully managed Layer 3 switch engineered for small to mid‑size business and AV‑over‑IP environments that require dependable Gigabit connectivity, efficient PoE power delivery, and clean rack integration. As part of the NETGEAR M4250 AV Line, it combines enterprise networking features with simplified, AV‑focused configuration.

High‑Density Gigabit PoE+ Access

The GSM4248PX provides 40 × Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports, each delivering up to 30W per port. This makes it ideal for powering access points, AV encoders and decoders, cameras, control systems, and other PoE‑enabled devices commonly found in SMB and professional AV environments.

10G SFP+ Uplinks for Aggregation and Core Connectivity

With 8 × 10G SFP+ fiber uplink ports, the switch offers ample bandwidth for aggregation, inter‑switch links, or core connectivity. These uplinks ensure smooth transport of AV streams, wireless traffic, and business data without congestion.

Optimized for AV‑over‑IP Deployments

Designed specifically for AV workflows, the GSM4248PX supports enhanced multicast for efficient audio and video distribution. The rear‑facing port layout enables clean cable management in AV racks, while quiet fan operation makes it suitable for sound‑sensitive environments such as studios, conference rooms, and event spaces.

Simplified Management for IT and AV Teams

The switch supports both an AV‑focused web interface and a traditional IT management interface, along with CLI and centralized management options. This allows AV professionals and SMB IT teams to deploy and manage the network using familiar tools and workflows.
