The Netgear GSM4328PA (M4300-28G-PoE+) Stackable Managed Switch with 2 SFP is a powerful, enterprise-grade networking solution engineered for robust performance, scalable deployment, and flexible power delivery. Built as part of Netgear’s M4300 series, this stackable managed switch integrates high-speed wired connectivity with advanced Layer 2/3 features and PoE+ power support — making it ideal for business networks, campus environments, unified communications, and high-density Wi-Fi or surveillance deployments.
Featuring 28 Gigabit Ethernet ports, the GSM4328PA delivers reliable, full-duplex Gigabit performance across all copper interfaces. It also includes 2 dedicated SFP fiber uplink ports to extend connectivity to network cores, remote switches, or aggregation layers with high-speed fiber links. The switch’s Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) capability simplifies deployments of network-powered devices — such as wireless access points, VoIP phones, IP cameras, and building automation endpoints — by delivering power and data simultaneously over a single cable.
As a stackable managed switch, the GSM4328PA allows multiple switches to operate as a single logical unit, simplifying expansion and centralizing management across larger networks. With a rich suite of Layer 2 and basic Layer 3 features, administrators gain granular control over traffic, security, and performance. Support for technologies like VLAN segmentation, Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization, Link Aggregation (LAG), Access Control Lists (ACLs), and multicast optimization (IGMP/MLD snooping) ensures efficient network operation even under heavy load.
Designed for professional environments, the GSM4328PA fits neatly into standard 19-inch server racks and delivers reliable performance with enterprise-class stability. Whether deployed in offices, schools, hotels, or distributed networks, this switch combines flexibility, power, and manageability in one versatile platform.
