Netgear APS250W-100NES Modular Power Supply Unit (250W)

Product Overview

The NETGEAR APS250W-100NES is a 250W hot-swappable modular power supply for compatible NETGEAR M-series managed switches. It installs into the switch's modular power bay to supply operating power and PoE budget, or, with a second unit, to provide 1+1 power redundancy on supported switches. The 250W rating suits M-series switches with moderate PoE requirements. Verify your switch's PSU compatibility list before ordering.

Product Description

This 250W module is designed for NETGEAR M-series switches that accept modular, field-replaceable power supplies. A single unit provides operating power and PoE budget for a supported switch, while a second unit enables 1+1 redundancy so the switch keeps running if one supply fails. The module is hot-swappable, allowing a technician to add or replace a supply without taking the switch offline, which protects uptime in production AV environments. Its mid-range wattage fits M-series switches with moderate PoE loads rather than the highest-density PoE++ chassis. As a switch power component, it should be matched to a verified compatible switch rather than used standalone. Keeping a spare on hand reduces recovery time after a supply failure. The module carries NETGEAR's ProSAFE limited lifetime hardware warranty.
