Netgear GSM4230P-100NAS M4250 26G4F Poe Plus Managed Switch

Product Description

The NETGEAR GSM4230P-100NAS is the M4250 26G4F PoE Plus Managed Switch, a managed network switch designed for AV networking environments where reliable Power over Ethernet delivery and centralized network control are required. The unit provides 26 copper Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE Plus capability alongside 4 fiber SFP uplink ports, giving installers both high-density PoE distribution and fiber connectivity in a single chassis. It is intended for professional AV system integrators, network engineers, and IT contractors deploying structured AV-over-IP or similar managed network infrastructures.

This switch is suited for commercial and professional AV installations including conference rooms, houses of worship, education facilities, and broadcast environments that rely on managed switching with PoE Plus power delivery. Its port configuration supports simultaneous powering and data transmission to PoE-capable endpoints such as IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and AV-over-IP encoders and decoders. Installers working in AV networking typically deploy this switch as a core or edge switch in a managed Layer 2 or Layer 3 topology.

Key Features

• 26 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports with PoE Plus (802.3at) power delivery
• 4 SFP fiber uplink ports for high-speed backbone or inter-switch connections
• Managed switch functionality with full administrative control over VLANs, QoS, and traffic policies
• Purpose-built for AV networking deployments requiring deterministic, low-latency switching
• Single-unit solution combining high-density PoE distribution and fiber uplinks

Compatibility

Designed for use in professional AV networking infrastructures as a managed PoE Plus switch. No specific compatible model numbers or replacement part numbers were provided in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified network engineer or licensed low-voltage contractor familiar with managed switch configuration and structured cabling standards. Power down or isolate upstream network segments before making physical connections to avoid unintended traffic disruption. Rack-mount the unit in a ventilated enclosure per the manufacturer guidelines and verify that total PoE load does not exceed the switch power budget before energizing connected endpoints. Wiring and installation should comply with applicable local codes and TIA-568 structured cabling standards.
