Redundant Power System and Power Bank RPS4000
The Redundant Power System and Power Bank RPS4000 provides power system
redundancy to external devices such as NETGEAR managed switches or smart
switches that have an RPS capability.
Each RPS4000 has four power module slots and a maximum output of 4000W
when four APS1000W power modules are installed. The RPS4000 supports
switches using both old and new RPS designs. The RPS4000 acts as a redundant
power system in 12 VDC power systems and acts as a power bank in PoE (56 VDC)
power systems.
