The NETGEAR M4300-96X is the world’s only 2U rack height modular switch that comes either empty or pre-populated and scales up to 96 ports of 10G Ethernet or up to 24 ports of 40G Ethernet, or a combination. With 12 open slots and two redundant power supplies, the M4300-96X supports maximum granularity between copper, PoE+ and fiber and unrivalled headroom for organizations buying infrastructure for the long term.

IP convergence has already happened with telephony, surveillance and audio industry. While till date the IP convergence in Audio Video industry was limited. Now, with the new line of products from NETGEAR, the convergence in the professional AV industry is simplified, and this industry is also moving to the network. The Software Defined Video over Ethernet (SDVoE) Alliance provides a standard programming interface so that even if components are sourced from different suppliers, products and solutions such as the M4300-96X Switch merge easily and cost-effectively into a modern and open platform without complex coding.
