Please note
At full load Teltonika measured the Teltonika RUTC54 at 17.6 W on 12 V, close to the 18 W our 230 V supply delivers. Normal use is lower, but if you run USB devices or keep it busy all day, use the screw terminal cable with a stronger 24 V DC supply.
About the Teltonika RUTC54
The RUTC54 combines a Telit global 5G modem, dual SIM and eSIM, Wi-Fi 6 and Docker support. Teltonika aims it at centrally managed networks with zero-touch deployment through RMS. It is also the hungriest model on our list.
It is meant for distributed industrial networks that need 5G and local computing at every site.

|---|---|---|
| 1 | Power (+) | Red |
| 2 | Ground (-) | Black |

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 RUTC54 draws
With everything busy, Teltonika's figure for the Teltonika RUTC54 is 17.6 W at 12 V, and about 5.1 W at rest. Even that peak leaves 0.43 W spare on the 18 W supply.
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. For 12 V cars and 24 V trucks. The RUTC54 accepts up to 50 V.
- 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
- The RUTC54 at full load uses almost all of an 18 W supply. For sites running Docker and USB loads around the clock, use a 24 V DC supply rated 30 W or more with the screw terminal cable.
- The Teltonika RUTC54 is rated to 50 V, which gives good margin on 24 V vehicles. A clean supply is still the best protection against spikes.
- Do not let the cable hang from the plug. A cable tie a few centimetres from the socket stops vibration from working it loose.
Teltonika RUTC54 power FAQ
?What is the input voltage range of the Teltonika RUTC54?
Anything from 9 to 50 V DC on the 4-pin socket. Our 12 V supply, a 24 V truck system or a 48 V DC rail all work.
?Does the Teltonika RUTC54 come with a power supply?
Yes. Teltonika ships the RUTC54 with a 12 V, 2 A (24 W) adapter. Our 230 V supply gives the same 12 V at 18 W, which is fine at typical load but borderline at the rated maximum. 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.
?Is the 18 W supply enough for the Teltonika RUTC54?
Only just at full load. Teltonika measured about 17.6 W at 12 V with every function at maximum. In normal use it draws much less, but for heavy workloads with USB devices, a stronger 24 V DC supply through the screw terminal cable is the safer choice.
?Can I use the input and output on the Teltonika RUTC54 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.
?Is the Teltonika RUTC54 included with the cable?
We do not sell the Teltonika RUTC54. Our shop has three power options for it, and that is all we sell for Teltonika devices.
