Netgear APS254W-10000S

Product Overview

The NETGEAR APS254W-10000S is a 254W external power adapter that adds PoE capacity or redundancy to compatible NETGEAR AV switches. It is designed for the M4350-8M2V (MSM4310) and the M4250-8G2XF-PoE+ (GSM4210PX), connecting through a C14 inlet and accepting 110V to 240V AC. By adding one or more APS254W adapters, an installer can raise the available PoE budget or build N+1 redundancy into an AV-over-IP deployment. It is a commercial-grade accessory in NETGEAR's M4350 and M4250 power lineup.

Product Description

The APS254W-10000S supplies up to 254W of external power and connects to the DC inputs on compatible NETGEAR switches. On the M4350-8M2V, the base configuration ships with one APS254W and accepts up to three adapters total, letting installers scale the PoE budget and add redundancy as endpoint power demand grows. The adapter accepts a wide 110V to 240V AC input through a standard C14 power inlet, which simplifies deployment across regions and rack power setups.

When more than one adapter is used, the additional supplies provide redundancy so a single power failure does not take the switch offline. This makes the APS254W a practical building block for AV-over-IP systems that depend on continuous PoE to cameras, displays, and audio endpoints.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which switches is the APS254W-10000S compatible with?
It is designed for the NETGEAR M4350-8M2V (MSM4310) and M4250-8G2XF-PoE+ (GSM4210PX). Confirm compatibility with your exact model before ordering.

How much power does it add?
The adapter supplies up to 254W, which can be used to raise the switch's available PoE budget or to provide redundancy.

How many adapters can I use?
On the M4350-8M2V you can use up to three APS254W adapters to scale PoE capacity and build N+1 redundancy.

What power input does it require?
It accepts a wide 110V to 240V AC input through a standard C14 power inlet, suitable for most rack and regional power configurations.

Does adding adapters improve reliability?
Yes. When more than one adapter is connected, the extra supply provides redundancy so a single power failure does not take the switch offline.

Can Creation Networks help me size power for my switch?
Yes. Our team can help calculate PoE budget and redundancy needs for your AV deployment and confirm the right number of adapters. Contact Creation Networks for assistance.
