Power Consumption for a DC-Powered MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Router
To allow for future growth so that you can operate the router in any hardware configuration
without upgrading the power infrastructure, we recommend that you provision at least
13 A @ –48 VDC for each input.
Table 31 on page 60 and Table 32 on page 61 list the power requirements for base
DC-powered routers operating under typical voltage conditions.
If you do not plan to provision at least 13 A @ –48 VDC per input, you can use the
information in Table 31 on page 60, Table 32 on page 61, and Table 33 on page 61 to
calculate the power consumption @ –48 VDC and thermal output for your hardware
configuration.
