NETGEAR Introduces M4350 Switches at ISE 2026

From News Desk

NETGEAR will be introducing two new IP switches in its M4350 series along with the latest version of the NETGEAR Engage Controller at ISE 2026, all of which directly address specific requirements of AV and broadcast integrators. That is, hardware said to be built for real-world conditions, additional bandwidth for growing installations; and the ability to design and configure networks in advance of ever setting foot on-site.

The new M4350-16M4V switch employs industry-standard Neutrik locking connectors throughout – etherCON for network, opticalCON for fiber and powerCON for power. This prevents connections from coming loose during load-in, or failing mid-show. The M4350-16M4V also delivers 16 x 2.5G PoE++ ports (up to 1,130W total) and 4 x 25G SFP28 uplinks, with four modular interface card slots that allow configuration of uplink connectivity exactly as needed.

The new M4350-16C model aims to address the throughput challenges in large AV-over-IP deployments, providing 16 ports of 100G connectivity. Designed for aggregation and core layers where multiple high-resolution video streams converge, the M4350-16C seeks to give integrators the bandwidth they need.

The two new switches bring the M4350 portfolio to 18 models in total, covering 1G to 100G with high-power PoE++, redundant modular power supplies; and SMPTE ST 2110 timing support. TAA-compliant versions are available for government projects.The new models will be available in March 2026.

Version 2.4 of the NETGEAR Engage Controller network configuration software, available in February, introduces offline provisioning. This gives integrators the ability to create virtual switches and WiFi 7 access points, design entire networks and test configurations – all without physical hardware. Before arriving on site, the network is said to be already built. Users can simply export configurations, connect the devices and deploy. Configurations can also be saved as reusable templates for similar installations.

“Integrators told us their biggest problems – too much time on-site, cables that come loose during critical moments and networks that are hard to scale. We listened,” said Laurent Masia, Senior Director, Product Management, NETGEAR. “Offline provisioning means you can configure networks from anywhere and deploy in minutes. Neutrik locking connectors ensure nothing disconnects. And 100G switches mean you’re ready for whatever bandwidth demands come next.”
