To ground an AC-powered router, plug each power supply into a grounded AC power receptacle. The receptacle provides the grounding for the router, so no additional grounding is necessary. The receptacle must be within about 8 ft (2.5 m) of the router and must be easily accessible.
Detachable AC power cords, each 2.5 m (approximately 8 ft) long, are supplied with the router. The appliance coupler at the female end of the cord inserts into the appliance inlet on the faceplate of the AC power supply. The coupler is 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.

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 10 provides specifications and Figure 18 depicts the plug on the AC power cord provided for each country or region.
