How to power the Teradek Link

Overview

The Teradek Link can be powered from either the 2-pin locking power input, or through Power over Ethernet / PoE input.

2-pin Locking Connector

The Link has a 2-pin locking power input that accepts a range of 12 to 24 Volts DC, labeled (N) in the Link Quick Start Guide.

Pin-out:

• Pin 1 : GND
• Pin 2 : +DC

NOTE: Pin 1 is closest to the red dot on the LEMO connector.

Power over Ethernet / PoE 

The Link has a passive Power over Ethernet / PoE power input on the LAN connector, labeled (L) in the Link Quick Start Guide.

For additional information on Link's PoE input, refer to this article.

No Power Loop-Through

There is no power loop-through functionality on the 2-pin locking power connector and the PoE input -- each one only serves as an input.

For example:

• if a Link is receiving power input on the PoE connector, it does not output power on the 2-pin locking power connector to power another device such as a Serv Pro or a Cube.
• if a Link is receiving power input on the 2-pin power connector, it does not output power on the PoE port to power another device.
