Power supply voltage range

Power supply voltage range

Throughout the documentation, available on NETGEARs website, the power supply voltage range is not specified - only the output voltage of the enclosed wall socket power adapter (12V).

So does anyone know this?

Best regards

Re: Power supply voltage range

External power supplies are provided as part of the localisation according to the AC power voltage and outlet types for each market.

Sorry, my question was not formulated correctly!

What I meant was - what is the power supply voltage range for the GS105? The inlet is marked 12 VDC but the allowed input v-range is not specified anywere.

Re: Power supply voltage range

+/-5% should be fine.

Would it be safe to say that the GS105 can operate with 16.8v? This is to confirm if a solar power pack can support the GS105 power requirements.

Re: Power supply voltage range

Appologies, I meant 14.8VDC above.

Re: Power supply voltage range

I can't speak for Netgear but they probably don't support using anything other than the supply that it ships with.

 

However, it will probably work. I have had the FS105 running on the 12Volt system on my boat for a year now, and some times the voltage has gone has high as 15.5V and below 12.0V it has worked with no apparent problems.

 

Personally, I would just try it. I have have GS305 in the post, and if it breaks as a result of me powering this way then I've lost £18 - I've been doing this sort of thing for years and never had a problem yet so £18 is a small risk in that context.

 

If you considering doing this with more expensive equipment I would consider looking into a installing a regulated 12V feed for example something based on the LM2577 regulator which can handle the input voltage going either lower or higher than the target voltage.
