The Netgear M4250-40G8XF-PoE+ (GSM4248PX) 48-Port Managed Switch is a high-capacity, enterprise-grade networking solution designed to meet the growing connectivity, power, and performance needs of modern businesses, AV-over-IP installations, and large-scale enterprise networks. As part of NETGEAR’s advanced M4250 series, this switch delivers professional-level performance with extensive Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) support, flexible uplink options, and robust managed features — all housed in a rack-ready platform ideal for structured network deployments.
Featuring 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ capability, the GSM4248PX provides reliable data communication while simultaneously powering compatible devices such as wireless access points, VoIP phones, IP cameras, PoE-powered displays, and other network endpoints — all over a single cable. This significantly simplifies deployment, minimizes cable clutter, and lowers infrastructure costs.
To support high-performance backbone connectivity, the switch includes 8 Multi-Rate SFP/SFP+ uplink ports capable of supporting 1G/10G fiber connections, allowing seamless uplinks to core switches, servers, or aggregation points. Whether you’re building out an enterprise LAN, AV-centric network, or multi-floor infrastructure, the GSM4248PX delivers high throughput with low latency.
As a fully managed switch, it offers a rich assortment of traffic control, segmentation, and optimization tools. Features such as VLAN segmentation, Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization, Link Aggregation (LAG), Access Control Lists (ACLs), and multicast (IGMP/MLD) snooping empower administrators to fine-tune network behavior, prioritize critical traffic, and improve overall efficiency for voice, video, and data services.
With its rugged metal chassis and 19″ rackmount design, the GSM4248PX integrates seamlessly into server rooms and wiring closets, delivering the scale, reliability, and control required for demanding enterprise networking environments.
