Cisco equipment power usage?

wallpaper_01

I have a lab set up at home, is there anywhere I can find how much power each device is using? I can't find it! We dont have much money so scared about leaving it on when im out in case its sucking all our power!

I'd say you should find the total power requirement for each device and see if you can find the utilization percent for your device/s and calculate the cost here:
Electricity Running Cost Calculator | Electricity Prices | Electricity Costs

I'm not sure if Cisco devices all the power available always, but, noting the relatively small size of the CPU, I would assume that the difference in power consumption between a device under load and a state of non-use would be relatively small.

I'd recommend buying or borrowing a Kill-A-Watt. You'd be surprised how much energy some of your household appliances use.
