PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
NETGEAR M4500-48XF8C 48x 25G SFP28 and 8x 100G Fully Managed Switch (XSM4556-100EUS) - Limited Lifetime Local Warranty
48 SFP28 Ports with 100G Uplinks
The NETGEAR M4500-48XF8C is a full-width 1U fully managed switch with forty-eight 10G/25G SFP28 ports (1G also supported, set in groups of four) and eight 100G QSFP28 ports. A 4 Tbps non-blocking switching fabric and 2 Bpps throughput make it suited to leaf and aggregation roles in large AV-over-IP and campus networks.
Low Latency and Redundant Hardware
Latency is 0.119µs at 10G, 0.117µs at 25G and 0.129µs at 100G with 64-byte frames. Two APS750W power supplies (1+1) and six AFT402 fan trays (4+2) come pre-installed with front-to-back airflow.
Built for AV over IP
NETGEAR IGMP Plus is pre-configured so multicast works out of the box, and the series supports up to 320 TX / 320 RX 10G SDVoE nodes at line rate in a redundant spine-and-leaf design. Colour-coded AV profiles and the NETGEAR Engage Controller simplify setup.
Full Layer 3 Routing
Static routing, OSPF, BGP4, VRRP, VRF-Lite, PIM multicast routing, MLAG and a VXLAN gateway are supported for data-centre and campus designs.
