Netgear APM408C-10000S 8PT 10GBase-T Port Card

Product Overview

The NETGEAR APM408C-10000S is an 8-port 10GBASE-T copper expansion port card built for the NETGEAR M4300-96X (XSM4396) modular chassis. It adds high-density 10-Gigabit RJ45 copper connectivity to scale an AV-over-IP or data-center core. The card slots into the M4300-96X chassis to expand 10G copper port capacity without deploying additional standalone switches. It is backed by NETGEAR's ProSAFE limited lifetime hardware warranty.

Product Description

For commercial AV deployments standardized on NETGEAR's M4300 modular platform, the APM408C-10000S delivers eight RJ45 10GBASE-T ports in a single expansion card. The 10GBASE-T copper interface supports existing structured cabling, making it practical for connecting high-bandwidth encoders, decoders, and access-layer devices over familiar twisted-pair runs. Unlike the PoE+ variant, this card focuses on data connectivity without port power, providing a cost-efficient way to add 10G copper density. As a port card designed specifically for the M4300-96X chassis, it expands the switch fabric while preserving centralized management. This provides a direct path to adding 10G copper capacity to an installed modular core. Compatibility is limited to the M4300-96X (XSM4396) chassis as stated by NETGEAR.
