AC Power, Connection, and Power Cord Specifications

Detachable AC power cords, each 2.5 m (approximately 8 ft) long, are supplied with the router. The C13 appliance coupler at the female end of the cord inserts into the AC appliance inlet coupler, type C13 as described by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 60320. The plug at the male end of the power cord fits into the power source receptacle that is standard for your geographical location.

Warning: The AC power cord for the router is intended for use with the router only and not for any other use.

Note: In North America, AC power cords must not exceed 4.5 m (approximately 14.75 ft) in length, to comply with National Electrical Code (NEC) Sections 400-8 (NFPA 75, 5-2.2) and 210-52, and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Section 4-010(3). The cords supplied with the router are in compliance.

Table 26 provides specifications and Figure 82 depicts the plug on the AC power cord provided for each country or region.
