DC Adapter
The AC-DC power adapter is a widespread DC power supply that provides electricity to various network equipment. It converts 100-240V 50/60Hz AC wall outlet voltage into a steady 12 Volt DC output, making it compatible with most 12VDC-powered devices.
This compact power adapter has a rated safe current output of 2 Amps. The DC barrel connector uses a 5.5mm outer diameter and 2.1mm inner diameter plug tip that inserts into routers, switches, and other gear needing 12V/2A input. It has a lengthy 1-meter power cable between the outlet and the DC connector for flexible placement.
Network admins rely on the 12V 2 Amp AC-to-DC power brick as a standardized means of powering routers, access points, switches, and other connectivity devices. It ensures equipment gets the regulated, uninterrupted 12-volt DC electricity essential for peak operation and uptime. As long as there is an available 120V-240V power outlet nearby, network devices can safely be on the 12V DC power pack to deliver the appropriate power source.
