The Hub requires a power source and Ethernet connection to the data network containing third party devices.
Power Supply
The Hub uses a standard 5V DC power supply with a 5.5 x 2.1 x 11 mm positive-on-center power jack and a 2 meter power cord that comes with a C13-compatible connector (C18) and works with most plug types including:
-
NEMA 5-15

AS/NZS 3112 2000
-

Power over Ethernet (PoE)
PoE is available and requires a PoE splitter that plugs into the DC jack. The Hub cannot be powered over the ethernet using the Ethernet jack. If powering using a PoE:
-
Be sure that the PoE injector source is 5V DC, not 12, 24, or 48V DC and capable of at least 4W of power
-
Splitters with voltage regulators that will drop the voltage to 5V DC are available
Hub Mounting Bracket
The Hub ships with a mounting bracket
-
The bracket is attached using a 35 mm DIN rail clip
-
Rubber bumpers on the back of the bracket can be removed to expose 0.2 inch holes that can be used for permanent mounting with mechanical fasteners
-
Orientation of the Hub is not critical
