We sell the cable, not the router. Good to know: we sell the power cable, not the Teltonika RUTX10. If you need the router, buy it from a Teltonika distributor and pick the lead here.

End of life

Teltonika has announced end of life for the Teltonika RUTX10. Orders are accepted until 3 February 2027, production runs until 3 August 2027 and support continues until 3 August 2032. Teltonika names the Teltonika RUTM10 as the replacement. According to Teltonika's wiki it has a 4-pin 9 to 50 V socket, so our cables fit it as well.

About the Teltonika RUTX10

The RUTX10 is the RUTX for fixed-line sites. It has four Gigabit Ethernet ports, dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE, but no mobile modem. It brings RutOS features such as VPN and firewalling to a wired connection.

Installers use it as an industrial Wi-Fi access point and router where a consumer router would not survive.

How much power the RUTX10 draws

Teltonika measured the Teltonika RUTX10 at 3.1 W when idle and 8 W at full load on a 12 V supply, about 666 mA. That is 44% of what our 18 W supply can deliver. Teltonika's 24 V figure is 8 W at peak.

Peak at 12 V: 8 W of the 18 W our 230 V supply delivers

Which cable should I pick?

  • Wall socket. 12 V from a wall socket. The RUTX10 peaks at 8 W, well within the 18 W rating.
  • Vehicle. Plugs into a 12 or 24 V socket. Vehicle voltage passes straight to the router.
  • Cabinet, battery or solar. Permanent wiring in a cabinet or vehicle, 2 m long. Add a 2 A slow-blow fuse near the source.

Install tips

  • Bluetooth sensors often sit near the router. Keep the power cable short and tidy so it does not shadow the antennas.
  • The Teltonika RUTX10 is rated to 50 V, which gives good margin on 24 V vehicles. A clean supply is still the best protection against spikes.
  • Keep the screw terminals tight and check them once a year in vehicles or cabinets with vibration.

Teltonika RUTX10 power FAQ

?Which input voltage does the Teltonika RUTX10 accept?

Teltonika rates the Teltonika RUTX10 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.

?Why buy a separate power cable for the Teltonika RUTX10?

The adapter in the box only works with a wall socket. In a vehicle, a cabinet or on a battery, the car cable or the screw terminal cable is the better fit.

?Can I power the Teltonika RUTX10 from a 48 V system?

Yes. The RUTX10 accepts 9 to 50 V on its 4-pin socket. Use our screw terminal cable, since it passes the supply voltage straight through.

?What do the green and white wires do on the Teltonika RUTX10?

Green is the digital input on pin 3 and white is the digital output on pin 4. You set up both in the RutOS web interface.

?Will the 230 V supply run the Teltonika RUTX10 at full load?

Yes. Teltonika's full-load figure is 8 W at 12 V, which leaves 10 W unused.

?Can I buy the Teltonika RUTX10 from you?

No, the router is not included. You get the cable or supply you order, and the Teltonika RUTX10 itself comes from a Teltonika reseller.
