Expand your small-to-medium size business's network capacity with the Netgear M4300-52G 50-Port Managed Switch SFP+from Netgear. This fully managed rackmount network switch includes Layer 2, 3, and 4 feature sets such as hot-swappable mixed stacking, with up to eight switches in a single logical switch, but no license requirements to support video broadcast and other high-bandwidth applications.

With 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, you can connect computers, servers, and other networked equipment. This switch includes a 150W power supply with support for a second PSU for redundancy. The M4300-52G also includes two 10G RJ45 ports alongside two 10G SFP+ ports for high-speed uplinks. This switch is also designed to smoothly transfer data with a 176 Gb/s switching capacity and 130.9 Mpps forwarding rate. Your data is secured by features such as access control, private VLANs, and denial of service (DoS) attack protection.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Do this switch require a Unifi Key?

A: The Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Switch Enterprise 48 48-Port 2.5Gb PoE+ Compliant Managed Network Switch with SFP+, B&H # UBUSWENPR48P, does not require a Unifi Cloud Key but it does require the Unifi controller software running on a computer or a server. The Cloud key is a dedicated "mini-computer" that can run this software.

Q: 2. Do you know if the AV Line M4250-10G2XF-PoE+ (GSM4212PX) will connect to my laptop at 2.5gbps using the SFP+ Port? Thanks!

A: Most laptops do not have SFP+ ports, but if you have a means to connect to the SFP+ port then you will be able to achieve speeds up to 10 gbps.

Q: 3. Is there a rackmount kit for this switch?

A: Unfortunately, we do not have a rack mount kit for the Netgear AV Line M4250 GSM4210PD 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Compliant Managed AV Switch with SFP (110W) BH #NEGSM4210PD.

Q: 4. Does this switch come with the parts to rack mount?

A: Yes. Included in the box with this Netgear M4250 12M2XF AV Line Managed Switch , would be Rack-mounting standard brackets Longer brackets for recessed mounting.

Q: 5. Does setting up LAG reduce throughput? Some of the other SFP+ switches in this category use software and CPU to bond the ports.

A: LAG, including static link aggregation and LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol), is a technology that can aggregate multiple physical ports into a logical interface, increasing link bandwidth and providing backup ports to enhance connection reliability. So, the LAG will not reduce the TP-Link TL-SX3016F JetStream 16-Port SFP+ 10GE Managed Switch's through put. As for the ports, if you need to configure the advanced features such as LAG and VLAN, this switch has a web interface (standalone mode) to log in. And you can also download TP-Link's Omada Software Controller to manage the switch.

Q: 6. Can this be mounted with the network connections facing the front of the cabinet as opposed to the back?

A: Yes, you could mount the Netgear AV Line M4250 GSM4212PX 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Compliant Managed AV Switch with SFP (240W) so that the network ports are facing the front of the cabinet if you'd like, however you will then be putting the LEDs and the USB port on the back side.

Q: 7. Is a controller required or can this be standalone?

A: For best usage and control, I recommend that you purchase a Cloud Key 2.

Q: 8. The picture shows 8 PoE ports and 2 non-PoE ports for a total of 10, but the SPECS tab does not list the 2 non-PoE ports. Which one is correct for GSM4212PX?

A: The two non-PoE ports are additional 1G RJ45 ports which can be used as regular network ports.

Q: 9. Does the single pack comes with a power adapter?

A: Yes, the single units come with USB Type-C Power Adapter & Cable (5V, 1A)

Q: 10. Does the three pack come with the power cable?

A: No, you would need to use the PoE feature to power it or use a separate USB-C cable.
