Table 3-9 lists IEEE 802.3u physical characteristics for 100BASE-TX.
Connecting to an AC Power Source
This section presents the procedure for connecting your router to an AC power
source. A power factor corrector (PFC) allows the AC-input power supply to
accept AC power source voltage from an AC power source operating between 100
and 240 VAC, 20-Amp service in North America; and a range of from 185 to
264 VAC, 16-Amp service in an international environment.
