Connecting Routers to AC Power

If your router uses AC power, connect it to a 15 A, 120 VAC (10 A, 240 VAC) circuit with overcurrent protection.

Note The input voltage tolerance limits for AC power are 85 and 264 VAC.

Warning AC connected units must have a permanent ground connection in addition to the power cable ground wire. NEBS-compliant grounding satisfies this requirement. Statement 284

Warning This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that the protective device is rated not greater than:

15A, 120VAC (10A, 240VAC). Statement 1005

Connecting Routers to a DC-Input Power Supply

Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Statement 1003

Warning This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that the protective device is rated not greater than:

15A, 60VDC. Statement 1005

Warning Use copper conductors only. Statement 1025

Note The installation must comply with the 1996 National Electric Code (NEC) and other applicable codes.

If your router has a DC-input power supply, follow the directions in this section for proper wiring. A router with a DC-input power supply has a terminal block for the DC power connections.
