AC Power Connector

This is a three-pronged connector that supports the power cord. Plug in the female connector of the provided power cord into this connector, and the male into a power outlet. Supported input voltages range from 100~240V AC at 50~60Hz.

3.Installation

The site where you place the DES-1026G may greatly affect its performance. When installing, take the following into your consideration:

Install the DES-1026G in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical Specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.

Install the DES-1026G in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

Leave at least 10cm (about 4 inches) of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation.
