Teltonika RUTX11 Standard wiring diagram
Standard RUTX11 accepts 9–50 V DC and has 16 W maximum consumption. The 12 V current estimate is 16 W / 12 V. This symbol models its DC power connector; passive PoE is an alternative input and is not IEEE 802.3af/at/bt compatible. Excludes the narrower-voltage railway variant.

Sized against ABYC E-11. The design current is the part's continuous draw. The length is one way; voltage drop includes an equal-length return.
Run-length and manufacturer assumptions
The editable example uses 3.048 m (10 ft) runs unless a shorter run is stated. Metric overviews round these to 3 m. Adapt the parts and lengths to your installation before choosing cable and protection.
Supporting parts
- 6.1 m total of 1.5 mm² (16 AWG) marine cable
- Terminations for 1.5 mm² cable, matched to the equipment's screw terminals, leads or studs
- 2 A fuse and holder on the positive run
- Heat-shrink, strain relief and terminal boots sized to the cable
Check stud sizes, fuse type, run length and how warm the space gets against the gear you actually have before you order.
Installation notes
Before you install.
Open a question for model-specific guidance and sources.
Verified against the manufacturer's documentation (rev. RUTX11 datasheet v12, ©2025; official quick start and power documentation), checked 2026-10-01. Manufacturer documentation →
Which RUTX11 variant is covered?
This is the standard RUTX11, a mobile router with LTE, Wi-Fi and Ethernet. The manufacturer datasheet, power section, page 11, specifies 9–50 V DC and 16 W maximum consumption. It separately limits railway order code RUTX11 020G00 to 24–36 V; that variant is outside this entry. At nominal 12 V, 16 W corresponds to approximately 1.33 A. This maximum budget is not an idle-current measurement.
Which connection is the power input?
The official powering guide identifies the 4-pin DC connector and its supply/ground contacts. The remaining connector positions are digital I/O, not additional power terminals. This catalog exposes only the positive and return of the DC input. Check the device's connector diagram rather than relying on the connector's physical orientation or another router's cable colors.
LAN1 also supports passive PoE, Mode B, 9–50 V, but it is not IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at or 802.3bt PoE. That is an alternative power arrangement, not an output modeled by the two catalog terminals. Do not assume an ordinary active-PoE switch will power it. The reviewed sources do not prescribe an external DC branch-fuse rating; protect the installation's feed for its wiring and applicable supply requirements.
How should mounting and initial setup be handled?
Install in a dry location with room for airflow and antenna cables; the datasheet rates the enclosure IP30, not watertight. Fit the correct mobile and Wi-Fi antennas, insert the SIM according to the official quick-start guide, and follow its first-login and password setup before relying on connectivity. Keep radio/antenna installation within the manufacturer's guidance for the intended region.
What should be checked if connection or power is unreliable?
Measure supply at the router under load, then check the DC plug, polarity and upstream protection. For network failures, distinguish mobile registration, SIM/PIN or APN problems from loss of power; use the router's status information rather than repeated factory resets. The terminal boundary of 16 W / 9 V, about 1.78 A, is a calculated input-current planning envelope across the specified voltage range, not a separately published connector rating. Energy estimates use 12 V nominal and should be replaced with measurements for the actual radio traffic and accessories.
