| Power Supply and Consumption |
RG-AP840-L |
| Input power supply |
The AP supports the following two power supply modes: ● 54 V DC/1.1 A power input over DC connector: The DC connector accepts 2.1 mm/5.5 mm center-positive circular plug. A DC power adapter needs to be purchased independently. ● PoE input over LAN 1: The power source equipment (PSE) complies with IEEE 802.3af/at/bt standard (PoE/PoE+/PoE++). Note: ● If both DC power and PoE are available, DC power is preferred. ● When powered by 802.3bt (PoE++), the AP operates with the optimal performance. ● When powered by 802.3at (PoE+), the AP starts up normally. LAN 2 and USB port cannot supply power to external devices. ● When powered by 802.3af (PoE), the AP starts up normally. Both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio cards can work only in one spatial stream mode. LAN 2 and USB port cannot supply power to external devices. |
| External power supply |
When powered by 802.3bt (PoE++), the AP can supply power to an external device. ● The USB port can source 1 A/5 W power to an attached device. ● The LAN 2 port can source 48 V/12.95 W power to an IoT unit. |
| Power consumption |
Max power consumption: 40 W ● DC powered: 40 W ● PoE powered (802.3af): 12.95 W ● PoE+ powered (802.3at): 22 W ● PoE++ powered (802.3bt): 40 W ● Idle mode: 10.3 W |
