Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch operates as a managed Layer 3 device, supporting a comprehensive suite of networking standards including IEEE 802.3bt, 802.3af, 802.3at for Power over Ethernet, along with 802.1Q for VLANs, 802.1p for priority tagging, 802.3ad for link aggregation, and 802.1BA for audio video bridging. The 12 SFP+ slots accept compatible optical or copper transceivers, providing media flexibility for distances up to kilometers with fiber or shorter runs with DAC cables.
Power reliability is addressed through a built-in power supply with support for an optional second unit, enabling redundant power configurations. The switch draws 240 watts under typical load and uses a standard C14 connector for AC input. Management interfaces include out-of-band console via USB Type-C to USB-A cable and in-band Ethernet management with full CLI and web GUI access.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Uplink Port, Modular, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is particularly well-suited for professional AV installations, where low-latency, high-bandwidth connections are critical for uncompressed video feeds, audio networking, or real-time control systems. Its support for audio video bridging (AVB) standards makes it a reliable choice for live event production, broadcast facilities, or digital signage networks.
In enterprise IT environments, the M4350-12X12F serves as an aggregation switch for server farms, storage area networks, or backbone links between floors. The Layer 3 capabilities allow it to replace traditional routers in small to mid-sized networks, simplifying architecture while providing routing between subnets.

Physical Profile
The switch measures 17.01 inches in height, 13.12 feet in width, and 8.66 inches in depth, with a weight of approximately 9.48 pounds. Its 1U rack-mountable design includes standard brackets for front-mounting and longer brackets for recessed mounting in deeper racks. Rubber footpads are provided for stable tabletop use, while rubber caps protect unused SFP+ slots from dust.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 17.01" (432 mm), 13.12 ft (4000 mm), 8.66" (220 mm), 9.48 lb (4300 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

User Manual
FAQ
How many ports does this Netgear switch have and what type are they?
The Netgear M4350-12X12F has 12 network ports, all of which are 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ slots. These slots support both optical fiber (10GBase-X) and copper (10GBase-T) connections, providing flexibility for different cabling infrastructures. An additional uplink port is included for connecting to other network devices.
What does Layer 3 support mean for this switch?
Layer 3 support indicates that this switch can perform routing functions between different IP subnets, enabling inter-VLAN routing and dynamic routing protocols like OSPF or RIP. This allows it to replace traditional routers in smaller networks or act as a distribution layer switch in larger deployments, simplifying network architecture while maintaining performance.
Can this switch be mounted in a standard server rack?
Yes, the switch is designed for 1U rack mounting and includes both standard and longer brackets for recessed mounting. It measures 17.01 inches in height, fitting a standard 19-inch rack, and weighs approximately 9.48 pounds. Rubber footpads are also included for tabletop installation if rack space is unavailable.
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
While the switch supports IEEE 802.3bt, 802.3af, and 802.3at standards, which are commonly associated with PoE, the specifications do not indicate a specific PoE budget or powered port count. It is primarily designed for data connectivity with 10GbE SFP+ ports, so for PoE requirements, confirm with Netgear documentation or consider a dedicated PoE switch model.
What management options are available for this managed switch?
This fully managed switch offers both out-of-band console management via the included USB Type-C to USB-A cable and in-band management through Ethernet ports. Administrators can use a command-line interface (CLI) or a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) to configure VLANs, link aggregation, quality of service, security settings, and monitor performance statistics.
What is included in the package with this Netgear switch?
The package contains the AV Line M4350-12X12F Ethernet Switch, power cord(s), a USB Type-C to USB-A 2.0 console cable for management, rubber caps to protect unused SFP+ slots, rubber footpads for tabletop stability, an installation guide, and both standard and longer rackmount brackets for flexible installation in various rack depths.
