Glossary of Power Terms

Alternating Current (AC): The current that is commonly flowing through the electrical outlets in your home. It is an electrical current in the form of a sine wave that oscillates up and down continuously.

Amp: An abbreviation for Ampere. This is a unit of electrical current.

Direct Current (DC): An electrical current flowing in one direction only. DC current does not have a wave form.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI): Electrical interference generated by appliances and many other electrical components that cause degradation of sound and picture quality in audio and video equipment.

Ground: A conducting object, such as a wire, that is connected to a position of zero-voltage potential. Common connecting points are ground rods or cold-water pipes that are connected to the Earth.

Joule Rating: A measure of electrical energy. The higher the joule rating, the more electrical surges a device can absorb before failing.

Maximum Spike Current: The maximum current (in Amps) that can be absorbed before failing. The higher the maximum spike current, the more current a device can absorb without failing.

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI): Electromagnetic radiation, which is emitted by electrical circuits carrying rapidly changing signals as a by- product of their normal operation, and which causes interference or noise to be induced in other circuits.

Spike: A very fast transient variation in voltage or current. Many small transients, over time, cause components to wear and fail.

Surge: An increase in voltage or current significantly above the designated level in a flow of electricity.

AP21300-12 specifications

The Belkin AP21300-12 is a cutting-edge access point designed to enhance wireless network performance and coverage in various environments. With an emphasis on providing robust connectivity for both personal and professional use, this device embodies Belkin's commitment to quality and innovation in networking technology.

At its core, the AP21300-12 supports the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard, which significantly improves data throughput and overall network efficiency. With dual-band capabilities, it operates on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, allowing it to effectively manage a wide range of devices simultaneously without sacrificing speed. This is particularly important in today's smart environments, where numerous devices are connected and require stable internet access.

One of the standout features of the AP21300-12 is its advanced MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology. This allows the access point to communicate with multiple devices at the same time, rather than sequentially. This results in improved bandwidth and reduced latency, making it ideal for activities such as streaming, gaming, and video conferencing. Moreover, the access point is equipped with OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access), which enhances efficiency in high-density environments by dividing channels into smaller sub-channels, accommodating more devices and increasing overall capacity.

In terms of security, the AP21300-12 offers robust protection with WPA3 encryption, which enhances network security by providing stronger data protection and improved password security. This is crucial for users concerned about privacy and data integrity, especially in business settings where sensitive information is transmitted.

The device also features easy setup and management through the Belkin app, allowing users to monitor network performance, manage connected devices, and optimize settings through a user-friendly interface. Furthermore, with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, the AP21300-12 can be installed in a variety of locations without the need for a separate power source, streamlining installation and reducing clutter.

Overall, the Belkin AP21300-12 is a highly versatile access point that combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their wireless network experience. Whether for home, office, or public spaces, the AP21300-12 delivers exceptional performance, reliability, and security, ensuring seamless connectivity for all users.
