Atlona Inc. NETGEAR-GSM4248PX Managed Network Switch

Product Description

The ATLONA INC. NETGEAR-GSM4248PX is a managed network switch designed for structured AV and IT network installations. It provides 40 ports of 1G Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) connectivity alongside 8 additional uplink ports, supporting high-density deployments where both data and power delivery are required at the edge. The switch is sold as a single unit and falls within the switches and routers category, making it suitable for installers who need centralized power sourcing and managed Layer 2 or Layer 3 network control in a single chassis.

This switch is appropriate for commercial AV-over-IP, enterprise networking, and campus infrastructure installations. It is commonly deployed in environments where networked devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and AV endpoints require both data connectivity and PoE power from a single managed platform. Network engineers, AV integrators, and IT infrastructure technicians are the primary installers of this equipment.

Key Features

• 40 ports of 1G PoE+ for simultaneous data and power delivery to edge devices
• 8 additional uplink ports for high-bandwidth backbone connectivity
• Managed switch architecture supports advanced network configuration and monitoring
• Single-unit form factor suited for rack-mount installation in structured wiring environments
• High port density reduces the need for multiple switches in large deployments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style managed network switch for commercial and enterprise network infrastructure installations requiring high-density PoE+ port availability.

Installation Notes

This switch should be installed by a qualified network engineer or licensed low-voltage technician familiar with structured cabling standards and managed switch configuration. Power down or isolate upstream network segments before making physical connections to avoid broadcast loops or unintended PoE activation. Rack-mount installation should follow the manufacturer's mechanical guidelines and applicable data center or structured wiring codes. Verify PoE power budget requirements of all connected devices before commissioning to avoid exceeding the switch power capacity.
