These examples show how to calculate typical power consumption for your DC-powered
router configuration. The examples use generalized values for MICs. For exact MIC power
requirements, see the MX Series Interface Module Reference.
Typical power consumption for modular DC-powered routers:
•
Active DC-powered router with one MIC:
Base router (high activity, with four 10-Gigabit Ethernet XFPs, and fans running at high
speed) + 1 MIC =
5 A + 0.73 A = 5.73 A @ –48 VDC = 275 W DC
•
Active DC-powered router with two MICs:
Base router (high activity, with four 10-Gigabit Ethernet XFPs, and fans running at high
speed) + 2 MICs
5 A + 2(0.73 A) = 6.46 A @ –48 VDC = 310 W DC
•
Input currentfrom a DC source other than –48 VDC (basedon maximum configuration;
applies to DC power supply only):
(–54 VDC input) * (input current X) = (–48 VDC input) * (input current Y)
54 * X = 48 * 13 A
X = 48 * 13 A/54 = 11.5 A
•
Example of calculating system thermal output:
Watts DC * 3.41 = BTU/hr
500 * 3.41 = 1,705 BTU/hr
