Power Supply and Consumption

RG-AP820-L(V2)

Input power supply

The AP supports the following two power supply modes:

● 48 V DC/0.3 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/PoE: The power sourcing equipment (PSE) complies with IEEE 802.3af standard (PoE).

Note:

If both DC power and PoE are available, DC power is preferred.
