Hello
I have in a Rack a RB2011UAS-RM, that is powered with the integrated AC/DC power supply.
I recently disconnected it (it is a shame to have it integrated with the routerboard and not detachable) and I now use a POE from Ubiquity, the 24V-1A model, with ground (I use a shielded Cat 5E-FTP cable).
Wich is better? I think the poe is better because it has ground and it is stabler than ac/dc power supply.
check/google pictures of both PSU’s shematics/pcb and discussions.
basically[usually] from same price range, PSU’s comparable.
for little “extra” in terms of reliability you need to purchase something off-the-league[at cost of RB or so].
point is, for RB price/purposes, supplied PSU quite good !
just keep it[and RB itself]away from dust, electric/static shock, animals/insects, feds/criminals, space aliens, toothfairy and etc and etc.
keep you vacuum cleaner(to remove dust from RB)operational.
also good PSU not replace/exclude need from PSU and/or surge protection.
if you RB placed near window[bad idea, btw], nor you use external antenna - get lightning-protection.
Thank you
the router is in a datacenter, with ups, stable energy and about 18 °C temperature.
the routers have 24 °C board temperature, they operate at nice temperature.
I put them with ubiquiti POE 24V 1A with ground.
first of, PSU is detachable as you are allowed to open case of all RouterBOARD products that are shipped with cases (caution is advised)
It does not matter how you power RouterBOARD products as long as power supplied is within specified parameters of the product and PSU itself is qualty product, similar or better than PSU supplied with the product.
Hello
I have opened the 2011 because I was looking for the reset switch (it is not written on the external case).
I have seen the the PSU is detachable.
