I would like to use the RB/1100AHX2 Routerboard and possible some of the Cloud Core routers in areas where I have typical 120 VAC power and also in area’s where I will power them from a 125 VDC battery.
My questions are:
Will the RB/1100AHX2 Routerboard accept 60 Hz 120 VAC power?
Will the RB/1100AHX2 Routerboard accept 125V DC Power?
I see from the Power Options in the Brochure is says “Built-in power supply (IEC C14 standard connector 110/220V)” which doesn’t say AC or DC power.
From the Manual is says “Power at the case IEC C14 jack: 110-220VDC” which looks like it will take DC power, but not sure about AC.
Will the RB/1100AHX2 Routerboard accept 125V DC Power?
No.
But you can use a DC/DC Converter, for example with input: 72V - 150V DC / output: 24V DC, 3A to Passive PoE 12-24V DC on Ether13 (not 802.3af/at conform)
I may try to find a replacement for the PSU in the case and put a DC-DC converter in there. Not sure if I will find one that lines up with the same hole in the case or not.
Do you know what type of connector is on the routerboard that the PSU is plugging into?
But I personally would prefer a solution like this: PoE - RB/GPOE passive Injektor with a DC Terminal
Because you don’t have to modify/opening the housing or lost warranty.
