The M4500-48XF8C switch provides 48-port SFP28 (1G, 10G and 25G fiber) and 8-port QSFP28 (40G, 50G and 100G fiber). With 4Tbps non-blocking fabric and 2Bpps forwarding rate, M4500-48XF8C delivers L2/L3/L4 and IPv4/IPv6 rich services for Professional AV-over-IP installations (SDVoE-ready certified). Two modular power supplies are pre-installed for 1+1 power redundancy. Six modular fan trays are pre-installed for 4+2 fan redundancy. Line-rate spine and leaf topologies with the M4500-32C (32-port QSFP28 100G). Layer 3 feature set includes static and dynamic routing with VRRP, OSPF, BGP, VRF-Lite and PIM. Enhanced IGMP+ implementation for plug & play multicast at Layer 2 between M4300/M4500 switches. Lifetime hardware warranty, Lifetime NBD and Lifetime online technical chat for investment protection and post-sales support. The trend of moving matrix switching into the Ethernet network is inevitable and SDVoE already delivers capabilities far beyond that of a traditional matrix switch. Historically it has been simple to design AV over IP systems of up to 96 I/Os using a single switch using Layer-2 Multicast IGMP. However, larger installations required data center-class 100G Ethernet switches with more complex Layer-3 Multicast Routing techniques, adding complexity and cost to the Ethernet infrastructure. As SDVoE systems become ever larger, a new class of switches has come to market. The M4500 switches combine the configurability of a matrix switch with the power and scalability of Ethernet to support hundreds of AV over IP endpoints, at a price point dramatically cheaper than comparable matrix switches. Removing the need for Layer-3 PIM routing, these new switches offer IGMP Plus and greatly simplify system architectures with the same well-known IGMP techniques across the entire AV over IP network..
