Power Supply and Consumption	RG-AP840-L
Input power supply	The AP supports the following two power supply modes: ● 54 V DC/1.1 A power input over DC connector: The DC connector accepts 2.1 mm/5.5 mm center-positive circular plug. A DC power adapter needs to be purchased independently. ● PoE input over LAN 1: The power source equipment (PSE) complies with IEEE 802.3af/at/bt standard (PoE/PoE+/PoE++). Note: ● If both DC power and PoE are available, DC power is preferred. ● When powered by 802.3bt (PoE++), the AP operates with the optimal performance. ● When powered by 802.3at (PoE+), the AP starts up normally. LAN 2 and USB port cannot supply power to external devices. ● When powered by 802.3af (PoE), the AP starts up normally. Both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio cards can work only in one spatial stream mode. LAN 2 and USB port cannot supply power to external devices.
External power supply	When powered by 802.3bt (PoE++), the AP can supply power to an external device. ● The USB port can source 1 A/5 W power to an attached device. ● The LAN 2 port can source 48 V/12.95 W power to a unit.
Power consumption	Max power consumption: 40 W ● DC powered: 40 W ● PoE powered (802.3af): 12.95 W ● PoE+ powered (802.3at): 22 W ● PoE++ powered (802.3bt): 40 W ● Idle mode: 10.3 W

Environment and Reliability	RG-AP840-L
Temperature	Operating temperature: –10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F) Storage temperature: –40°C to 70°C (–40°F to +158°F) Note: At an altitude between 3,000 m (9,843 ft) and 5,000 m (16,404 ft), every time the altitude increases by 220 m (722 ft), the maximum temperature decreases by 1°C (1.8°F).
Humidity	Operating humidity: 5% to 95% (non-condensing) Storage humidity: 5% to 95% (non-condensing)
Environment standard	Operating environment: ETS 300 019 Class 3.2 Storage and shipment environment: ETS 300 019 Classes 1.2 and 2.3
Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)	394,941 hours (45 years) at the operating temperature of 25°C (77°F)
