Power Supple
I have two Netgear power supply units and do not know which one belongs with my CM600 cable modem. One is Model AD2032F10, P/N 332-10751-01. The other is Model 2ABB018F, P/N 332-10748-01. Can anyon...

Shouldn't.

Input: 110-120V, 47-60 Hz
so it's possible that the adapter with the more limited input voltage
range was supplied with the C600.

The label on the modem itself indicates 12V <--> 1.5A.
Both power supply units indicate Output at the same level: 12V <--> 1.5A.
The only apparent difference is that one indicated Input of 100-120V / 50-60Hz / 0.56A
The other one indicates Input of 100-240V / 50-60Hz / 0.6A
So, I guess my questions are (1) will either one damage the modem and (2) does it matter at all which one is used?
