Netgear APM408P-10000S 8PT 10GBASE-T POE+ Port Card

Product Overview

The NETGEAR APM408P-10000S is an 8-port 10GBASE-T PoE+ expansion port card built for the NETGEAR M4300-96X (XSM4396) modular chassis. It adds high-density 10-Gigabit copper connectivity with Power over Ethernet Plus, allowing integrators to power and connect AV-over-IP endpoints directly from the modular core. The card slots into the M4300-96X chassis to scale port 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 APM408P-10000S delivers eight RJ45 10GBASE-T ports with PoE+ power 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. PoE+ capability lets each port supply power to compatible endpoints, reducing the need for separate power injectors at the edge. As a hot-pluggable module designed specifically for the M4300-96X chassis, it expands the switch fabric while preserving centralized management. This makes it a direct path to adding 10G copper and PoE+ capacity to an installed modular core. Compatibility is limited to the M4300-96X (XSM4396) chassis as stated by NETGEAR.
