Netgear APM408F-10000S 8PT SFP+ Port Card

Product Overview

The NETGEAR APM408F-10000S is an 8-port 10G SFP+ expansion port card built for the NETGEAR M4300-96X (XSM4396) modular chassis. It adds high-density 10-Gigabit fiber connectivity to scale an AV-over-IP or data-center core. The card slots into the M4300-96X chassis to expand SFP+ uplink and access capacity without deploying additional standalone switches. It is backed by NETGEAR's ProSAFE limited lifetime hardware warranty.

Product Description

For commercial AV deployments that standardize on NETGEAR's M4300 modular platform, the APM408F-10000S delivers eight 10GBASE-X SFP+ ports in a single expansion card. The SFP+ cages accept fiber optics for high-bandwidth links between distribution and core, well suited to AV-over-IP fabrics that aggregate large numbers of encoders and decoders. Because the ports are modular SFP+, integrators can populate them with the optics that match each fiber run rather than committing to a fixed media type. 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 fiber capacity to an installed modular core. Compatibility is limited to the M4300-96X (XSM4396) chassis as stated by NETGEAR.
