NETGEAR XSM4316 — M4350-8X8F 8x10G/Multi-Gig and 8xSFP+

NETGEAR XSM4316 Fully Managed 10G / Multi‑Gig Switch for SMB Networks

The NETGEAR XSM4316 is a fully managed Layer 3 switch designed for small to mid‑size
business networks that require high‑speed 10‑Gigabit and multi‑gigabit connectivity without the need for PoE.
As part of the NETGEAR M4350 switching platform, the XSM4316 delivers enterprise‑grade performance, flexible
port options, and scalable architecture for access and aggregation deployments.

Flexible 10G and Multi‑Gig Connectivity

The XSM4316 provides a balanced mix of high‑speed copper and fibre interfaces, allowing businesses to connect
servers, storage systems, high‑performance workstations, and upstream switches using the most appropriate
media for each connection. This hybrid design makes it well suited to modern networks transitioning from
Gigabit to 10‑Gigabit infrastructure.

Enterprise‑Grade Layer 3 Switching

Built on NETGEAR’s enterprise M4350 architecture, the XSM4316 supports advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3
features including VLAN segmentation, inter‑VLAN routing, traffic prioritisation, and enhanced security controls.
These capabilities provide the control and resilience required for growing SMB environments.

Optimised for High‑Bandwidth and AV‑over‑IP Traffic

With a non‑blocking switching fabric and low‑latency forwarding, the XSM4316 is ideal for data‑intensive
applications such as virtualisation, collaboration platforms, and AV‑over‑IP deployments where power delivery
is not required. Reliable multicast handling ensures smooth transport of real‑time audio and video streams.

Compact, Quiet, and Deployment‑Friendly Design

The XSM4316 features a compact 1U rack‑mount form factor with controlled acoustics, making it
suitable for server rooms, wiring closets, and noise‑sensitive office environments. Intuitive management tools
simplify deployment and ongoing operation.
