Powering

The device accepts power from the power jack or from the first Ethernet port (Passive PoE):

• Direct-input power jack (5.5 mm outside and 2 mm inside, female, pin positive plug) accepts 10-28 V DC.
• First Ethernet port accepts passive Power over Ethernet accepts 12-28 V DC. The power consumption under maximum load can reach 5 W. The Ether5 port supports PoE output for powering other RouterBOARD devices. The port has an autodetection feature, so you can connect Laptops and other non-PoE devices without damaging them. The PoE on Ether5 outputs approximately 2 V below input voltage and supports up to 0.58A (So provided 24 V PSU will provide 22V/0.58 A output to the Ether5 PoE port).
