Teltonika RUTC50 power supply and cables
The Teltonika RUTC50 is a 5G edge router with a 4-pin power socket. Here is what fits it, what it draws, and which cable suits your install.
Screw terminal cable
Best for heavy loads: connect to a stronger 24 V DC supply.

Please note
Peak draw is 16.2 W at 12 V, so our 18 W supply has less margin here than on most models. Avoid adding a power-hungry USB device, or use the screw terminal cable with a 24 V DC supply.
About the Teltonika RUTC50
The RUTC50 is a 5G router with five Gigabit ports, Wi-Fi 6, dual SIM, GNSS and USB. Its measured peak draw is the same as the RUTX50's, about 16.2 W at 12 V, which puts it near the top of what an 18 W supply should carry.
It is used where fast 5G and fast Wi-Fi are both needed, such as offices waiting for fibre and pop-up sites.

How much power the RUTC50 draws
On 12 V, the Teltonika RUTC50 draws about 1351 mA at its busiest, or 16.2 W. Left idle it sits near 4.7 W. Our 230 V supply is rated 1.5 A, so the router uses roughly 90% of it at peak. Teltonika's 24 V figure is 15.7 W at peak.
Which cable should I pick?
- Wall socket. Our 230 V supply works in normal use. For heavy, constant load with USB devices, go for a stronger DC supply instead.
- Vehicle. A quick vehicle install with a fused plug and LED.
- Cabinet, battery or solar. Best for heavy loads: connect to a stronger 24 V DC supply. Add a 2 A slow-blow fuse near the source.
Install tips
- Wi-Fi 6 clients and 5G at full speed are what push the RUTC50 to its peak. If you expect that all day, plan your supply for it.
- The Teltonika RUTC50 is rated to 50 V, which gives good margin on 24 V vehicles. A clean supply is still the best protection against spikes.
- Fit a fuse near the battery when you use the screw terminal cable on 12 V. Our FAQ suggests a 2 A slow-blow fuse.
Teltonika RUTC50 power FAQ
?Which input voltage does the Teltonika RUTC50 accept?
Teltonika rates the Teltonika RUTC50 for 9 to 50 V DC. That is wider than the older 9 to 30 V models and gives extra margin on 24 V vehicles.
?I lost the adapter for my Teltonika RUTC50. What do I need?
Any DC supply within 9 to 50 V DC on a Teltonika-style 4-pin plug will work. Our 230 V supply gives 12 V at 1.5 A, which suits the Teltonika RUTC50.
?Is the 18 W supply enough for the Teltonika RUTC50?
Yes in normal use, but it is close at full load. Teltonika measured about 16.2 W at 12 V with everything working hard. If you add a USB device, use the screw terminal cable with a stronger 24 V DC supply.
?Does the screw terminal cable give access to the Teltonika RUTC50's I/O?
Yes. Only the screw terminal cable connects them. Green goes to the input and white to the output. The car cable and the 230 V supply only use the power pins.
?Can I buy the Teltonika RUTC50 from you?
No, the router is not included. You get the cable or supply you order, and the Teltonika RUTC50 itself comes from a Teltonika reseller.
