Power supply for L009UiGS-2HaxD-IN

Hardware
1

I would like to connect L009UiGS-2HaxD-IN to UPS (APC SMT1000I) via C14 connector. But the standard power adapter for L009UiGS-2HaxD-IN fits into a Schuko socket.

  • Standard power supply for L009UiGS-2HaxD-IN suggests 24V/1500mA.
  • 24HPOW suggests 24V/2.5A

Question:

  1. Can I use 24HPOW for L009UiGS-2HaxD-IN?
  2. Or the only way is to simply use an adapter from a Schuko socket to C14?

UPD: I do not plan to use POE-out from L009UiGS-2HaxD-IN to power other devices.

In normal conditions both options are possible. It’s L009 which will draw current as needed. That PSU is capable of delivering more, it will not do so on it’s own.
From an efficiency point of view it might not be ideal.
But when things go very wrong, that 24HPOW will have the possibility to deliver too much current to your L009 (the regular PSU too but then things REALLY need to go wrong :laughing: )

So to stay on the safe side, I would personally use conversion from C14 to Schuko and use the normal PSU from L009.
It’s common enough.

But again, both options are possible.

Only for the record, the standard power adapter fits into a Schuko socket, but it is actually a “euro plug”:

If you need to buy the adapter, it is better to use an euro plug to C14, as it will be less bulky than the Schuko to C14.

Agree but for future safety, the bulky version might be the better option.

E.g. even stupid PCs nowadays use a Schuko plug for their PSU…

Or, as observed recently, CRS328.

Still only for the record, It depends on the country.
The europlug is intended for Class 2 devices, it has only two pins, (no ground) by design.
A PC (set aside portables/notebooks/tablets) is usually NOT a Class 2 device, so it needs a ground connection.

On a (metal case) device like a CRS328 it makes a lot of sense to have a ground connection.

Coincidentally in Italy the most common socket (and plug) designed for 10A has three pins, including the ground, and same size as the europlug, so a “really intended for the Italian market PC” will sport one of those (Type L).

Now, in new electrical plants it is increasingly common to have triple use sockets (i.e. compatible with Schuko, 10A/Europlug and 16A plugs), but still in most cases an adapter or multi-socket is used for PC’s.

For UPS there is no issue as usually C13/C14 cables are used, standard desktops (and the CRS328) have a C14 socket.
