Power Supply and Cooling System

The vEdge 100wm router has an built-in AC-to-DC power supply unit. This article describes the AC power
supply in the router and the cooling system and airflow through the router chassis.
AC Power Supply in vEdge 100wm Router
The vEdge 100wm router has an integrated AC power supply that exposes a C6 male AC inlet connector
externally. The unit can be powered by connecting the supplied power cord to AC mains with the C5 female
connector end of power cord plugged into the unit.
Table 1 describes the AC power supply specifications for the vEdge 100wm router.

AC Power Cord Specifications
The vEdge 100wm router ships with a detachable AC power cord. The power cord has a C5 female connector
at one end, and the other end is specific to the country/locality to which the product is shipped.
Cooling System in a vEdge 100wm Router
The cooling system in a vEdge 100wm router consists of internal heat sinks and an internal fan with adjustable
speed. The fan speed is algorithmically controlled, based on readings obtained from internal temperature
sensors. The internal temperature is affected by factors such as the external ambient temperature and the traffic
workload.
If the ambient temperature inside the chassis rises above the acceptable range, the router raises an alarm. If
the temperature inside the chassis rises above the maximum threshold temperature, the router shuts down
automatically.
