About the Teltonika RUTC41
The RUTC41 is an edge router with 4G Cat 4, Wi-Fi 6, 1 GB of RAM, a dual-core 1.3 GHz CPU and built-in Docker. It is similar to the RUTC40, and it peaks at about 13.4 W at 12 V in Teltonika's measurements, a little lower than the RUTC40.
It suits industrial sites that want to collect and process data locally before it goes to the cloud.

Power socket pinout
| Pin | Function | Our wire |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Power (+) | Red |
| 2 | Ground (-) | Black |
| 3 | Digital input | Green |
| 4 | Digital output | White |
The car cable and the 230 V supply only use pins 1 and 2. The I/O wires are on the screw terminal cable.
How much power the RUTC41 draws
The numbers are small: 4.3 W at idle and 13.4 W at full load, measured by Teltonika at 12 V. That peak works out at about 1118 mA, or 74% of our supply's rating. On a 24 V supply the peak is about 12.9 W.
Which cable should I pick?
- Wall socket. A replacement for the original adapter, with 4.6 W of spare capacity.
- Vehicle. For 12 V cars and 24 V trucks. The RUTC41 accepts up to 50 V.
- Cabinet, battery or solar. For DC rails, batteries and solar. Green and white bring out the I/O. Add a 2 A slow-blow fuse near the source.
Install tips
- If the RUTC41 sits in a closed cabinet with heavy CPU use, check the cabinet temperature. Heat is more often the limit than power.
- The Teltonika RUTC41 is rated to 50 V, which gives good margin on 24 V vehicles. A clean supply is still the best protection against spikes.
- Insulate any wire you do not use. A loose green or white wire touching the cabinet can trigger an input or short an output.
Teltonika RUTC41 power FAQ
?Can I run the Teltonika RUTC41 on 12 V or 24 V?
Yes. The Teltonika RUTC41 accepts 9 to 50 V DC, which covers 12 V, 24 V and most 48 V DC installations.
?Does the Teltonika RUTC41 come with a power supply?
New units usually ship with a 9 V wall adapter. A second cable makes sense for spares, a second site, or an install where a wall plug is not practical, such as a vehicle or a DIN rail cabinet.
?Can I run Docker containers on the Teltonika RUTC41 with your 230 V supply?
Yes. Teltonika measured the RUTC41 at about 13.4 W at full load on 12 V, which leaves roughly 4.5 W of headroom on our 18 W supply.
?Can I use the input and output on the Teltonika RUTC41 with your cable?
Yes. The screw terminal cable brings pin 3 (digital input) out on the green wire and pin 4 (digital output) on the white wire. Configure them in RutOS under Services, Input/Output.
?Does Smart Power Cable sell Teltonika routers?
Not the router, no. We are an independent maker of power cables. The Teltonika RUTC41 is a Teltonika product sold through their own channels.
