Adder PSU-REDPRO-495W – 495W Spare Module for RED-PSU PRO

Product Overview

The Adder PSU-REDPRO-495W is a 495W spare power module for the Adder RED-PSU PRO redundant power supply system, the 1U rack-mount unit that delivers managed 12VDC power to KVM extenders and matrix endpoints. As a hot-swappable redundant power module, it slots into the rear of the RED-PSU PRO chassis to restore dual-module redundancy or to upgrade a single-module unit. For facilities standardizing on Adder redundant power for KVM infrastructure, keeping a spare 495W module on hand minimizes downtime in always-on environments.

Product Description

The RED-PSU PRO platform centralizes power for racks of Adder devices, replacing a tangle of individual plug-top adapters with up to 16 independently controllable, locking 12VDC outputs. Conversion from mains AC to low-voltage DC happens inside one or two switched-mode 495W power modules — the component this SKU supplies as a spare.

In a dual-module RED-PSU PRO configuration, load is intelligently balanced equally between the two modules during normal operation. If one module ceases operation, the full load transfers immediately to the remaining module, which on its own can meet the needs of all ports. Because the modules are hot-swappable, a failed or aging unit can be replaced without taking connected KVM equipment offline — a critical property in control rooms and 24/7 operations.

Each 495W power module carries a 900,000-hour MTBF rating, reflecting the platform's design focus on continuous service. The spare module is the straightforward insurance policy for any installation where the RED-PSU PRO feeds mission-critical endpoints: stock one per site, and a power module event becomes a minutes-long swap rather than an outage.

This module is intended for RED-PSU PRO chassis (PSU-REDPRO1 and PSU-REDPRO2 series, 8- and 16-port). For chassis units, extenders and other Adder infrastructure, see the Adder Technology collection at Creation Networks.

Key Features

• 495W switched-mode power module — Genuine Adder spare that restores or adds a module to the RED-PSU PRO redundant power system.
• Hot-swappable design — Slots into the rear of the RED-PSU PRO chassis and can be exchanged without powering down connected equipment.
• Immediate failover support — In dual-module operation, load is balanced between modules and transfers fully to one module if the other stops.
• 900,000-hour MTBF rating — High-reliability module engineered for continuous, always-on KVM infrastructure.
• Single module covers full load — One 495W module can meet the needs of all chassis ports, so redundancy is true N+1.
• Reduces spares complexity — One common module serves both 8-port and 16-port RED-PSU PRO chassis variants.

Typical Applications

• Government spaces running redundant-powered KVM infrastructure
• Broadcast studios protecting always-on extender and matrix endpoints
• Commercial meeting spaces with centralized rack power for AV/KVM devices
• Training rooms powered from a managed equipment rack

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Adder products accept this module?
The PSU-REDPRO-495W fits the RED-PSU PRO family of rack power systems, including 8-port and 16-port chassis configurations.

Can I replace a module without shutting down my KVM equipment?
Yes. The modules are hot-swappable. In a dual-module chassis the remaining module immediately carries the full load during the swap.

Can a single module power a fully loaded chassis?
Yes. Per the vendor, a single 495W module can meet the needs of all chassis ports; the second module provides redundancy.

Does this work with the original (non-PRO) RED-PSU?
This spare is specified for the RED-PSU PRO platform. Verify your chassis model before ordering; contact Creation Networks if you are unsure.

How many spares should a facility stock?
For mission-critical sites, one spare module per location is a common practice so any module event becomes a quick field swap.

Is installation field-serviceable?
Yes. Modules slot into the rear of the chassis and are designed for replacement by site technicians without specialist tools.
