ACX500 Power System
ACX500 Power Overview
The ACX500 router is available as DC-powered and AC-powered models. The power supply in the router is built along the front panel of the chassis, with the DC power terminals or AC inlets on the front to connect power to the router.
Table 1 and Table 2 lists the power consumed by the ACX500 routers.

We recommend that you use a dedicated customer-site circuit breaker rated for 20 A (100 VAC) or 16 A (240 VAC), or as required by local code. Doing so enables you to operate the router in any configuration without upgrading the power infrastructure.
ACX500 Router AC Power Cord Specifications
Each AC power supply has a single AC appliance inlet that requires a dedicated AC power feed. Most sites distribute power through a main conduit that leads to frame-mounted power distribution panels, one of which can be located at the top of the rack that houses the router. An AC power cord connects each power supply to the power distribution panel.
You can order detachable AC power cords, each approximately 8 ft (2.5 m) long that supply AC power to the router. The C15 appliance coupler end of the cord, as described by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 60320, inserts into the AC appliance inlet coupler. The plug end of the power cord fits into the power source receptacle that is standard for your geographic location.
For the ACX500 outdoor routers, use the power cord that is purchased from Juniper Networks, and which is compatible with the ACX500 outdoor routers. Using a power cord other than that is provided by Juniper Networks with the router can damage the power terminal. The nominal rating of the DC power source are +24 VDC, –48 VDC, and –60 VDC. These power cords are specifically designed to be used only with the specified ACX500 outdoor routers.
Table 4 provides specifications for the AC power cord provided for each country or region.

The AC power cord for the router is intended for use with the router only and not for any other use.
The attached power cable is only for this product. Do not use the cable for another product. Translation in Japanese follows:

In North America, AC power cords must not exceed approximately 14.75 ft (4.5 m) 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). You can order AC power cords that are in compliance.
Power cords and cables must not block access to device components or drape where people could trip on them.
The router is rated for ambient temperature of 149° F (65° C). Use power cord of appropriate temperature rating.
ACX500 DC Power Specifications
The power supplies in ACX500 routers are built in along the front left panel of the chassis with DC power terminals to connect power to the router. The ACX500 indoor router power supply inputs are labeled INPUT 1 and INPUT 2. On the ACX500 outdoor routers, there are no labels for the DC power supply inlet.
For the ACX500 outdoor routers, use the power cord that is purchased from Juniper Networks, and which is compatible with the ACX500 outdoor routers. Using a power cord other than that is provided by Juniper Networks with the router can damage the power terminal. The nominal rating of the DC power source are +24 VDC, –48 VDC, and –60 VDC. These power cords are specifically designed to be used only with the specified ACX500 outdoor routers.
ACX500 routers support a wide range of voltage ranges as shown in Table 5.

The router with DC power has more than one power source. Ensure proper care while connecting the DC power supply to the router.
To get power feed redundancy on the DC router, you must connect both the power feed from two different source.
