Hello
The new OTD 500 doesn’t include any power supply in the “compatible accessories” section in the product page.
Does it need passive POE like Rutx series?
Or active POE like OTD140?
What is the correct injector to buy along with OTD500?
Thank you
Hello,
Thank you for your inquiry. The OTD500 uses the same powering option as the OTD140, which requires your mentioned Single Port Gigabit PoE Injector, 15 W.
Additionally, I recommend reviewing the OTD500 installation guide for more detailed instructions, which can be found here.
If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out.
Best regards,
Great Thank you
A good suggestion would be to notify your web design team and ask them to add the correct injector in the https://teltonika-networks.com/products/routers/otd500 page under “compatible accessories” so that people are not confused.
Same thing that is already done in the otd140 page.
I noticed that the OTD500 is powered using the 802.3af standard, but with a different use of conductors than normal. What they call “option B”.
I was never aware that there were these two options, and always just assumed that if a device complies with 802.3at or af that I could just plug it in my POE switch and it would be powered.
Why did Teltonika chose here something that does not appear to be a common standard?
