End of life
Teltonika has announced end of life for the Teltonika RUTX50. Orders are accepted until 3 February 2027, production runs until 3 August 2027 and support continues until 3 August 2032. Teltonika names the Teltonika RUTM50 as the replacement, and it also fits our cables.
About the Teltonika RUTX50
The RUTX50 was Teltonika's first mainstream industrial 5G router, with five Gigabit ports, dual SIM, dual-band Wi-Fi, GNSS and USB. It is among the hungrier Teltonika routers, which matters when you choose a supply.
It is used for 5G backhaul at events, construction sites and offices waiting for fibre.

How much power the RUTX50 draws
The numbers are small: 4.7 W at idle and 16.2 W at full load, measured by Teltonika at 12 V. That peak works out at about 1351 mA, or 90% of our supply's rating. Teltonika's 24 V figure is 15.7 W at peak.
Which cable should I pick?
- Wall socket. 12 V from a wall socket. The RUTX50 peaks at 16.2 W, well within the 18 W rating.
- Vehicle. A quick vehicle install with a fused plug and LED.
- Cabinet, battery or solar. Bare ends for 12, 24 or 48 V DC, with the I/O wires included. Add a 2 A slow-blow fuse near the source.
Install tips
- If the RUTX50 runs at full 5G load all day and also powers a USB device, a 24 V supply through the screw terminal cable gives more headroom than a 12 V adapter.
- The Teltonika RUTX50 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 RUTX50 power FAQ
?Which input voltage does the Teltonika RUTX50 accept?
Teltonika rates the Teltonika RUTX50 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 RUTX50. 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 RUTX50.
?Is the 18 W supply enough for a Teltonika RUTX50?
Yes, but with less room than most models. Teltonika measured about 16.2 W at 12 V with every function at full load. In normal use it draws much less, but avoid adding a power-hungry USB device on top.
?Does the screw terminal cable give access to the Teltonika RUTX50'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 RUTX50 from you?
No, the router is not included. You get the cable or supply you order, and the Teltonika RUTX50 itself comes from a Teltonika reseller.
