2.1.1 Access Point power consumption
The following information is a guide only and does not represent a specification.
Access Point tests provided the following results for nominal and peak power consumption under the
load conditions indicated. Power consumption is typically 7.5 W typical at 48V dc with a range of
7-10 W dependent on load and voltage. See the table below for examples.

48 Vdc
2x Ethernet connection, 1x Wi-Fi client, 1x WASP Client.
10W Peak 48 Vdc
2x Ethernet connection running Ethernet traffic, 1x Wi-Fi client
with traffic, 1x WASP Client, 100% CPU load.
2.1.2 Bridge power consumption
The following information is a guide only and does not represent a specification.
Pre-production Wi-Fi WASP Bridge tests (using unmodified Rev D PCB) provided the following
maximum values at steady state (current draw tending to fluctuate from max to around 90% of max
at about 50% duty cycle). Power consumption is typically 5.2 W at 12 Vdc typical with a range of
4.8-5.8 W dependent on load and voltage. See the table below for examples.

2.2 Cables and connectors
To prevent damage to the cables and connectors and to ensure the correct operations, ensure you
read the cable and connector manufacturer specifications.
In addition to items specified by the manufacturer, pay attention to:
• Minimum bending radius
• Max number of repetitive bends
• Chemical resistance
• Cable support methods and specification
• Low smoke non-halogen jacket
• Crush load
• Ingress rating
• Operational temperature range
• Abrasion resistance.
