So I was curious on how much power my hardware is using so I ran these through a watt meter and here are the results:
3640 50watt
3725 38watt
2620 13watt
2620xm 13watt
2621 12.8watt
2950 16watt
3550 not poe 42watt
Then I decided to check the pc and monitor as well, just for grins -
old viewsonic 20" lcd = 38 watt
p4 i3 2100 with 16gb of ddr and 2 sata drives (not ssd) 50-68 watts depending on what it's doing
sleep mode = 2 watts
And to compare the with some other common devices -
40" samsung lcd tv 64watts
dvd player idle 1.3watts to 7 watts running
wd media player 4.3 watts running
Now, gotta love electric tea-pot and hair dryer at 1400watts!

A very useful cheap one in the USA is available for $20 from Newegg, I think Amazon carries it also

Optionstheodoxa Member Posts: 1,340 ■■■■□□□□□□Interesting. I wonder how much they pull when they first startup. My 2821 is pretty loud when it first starts, but quiets down once its loaded and running. I was worried that I might have to run another circuit from the breaker box if I wanted to run all my equipment at once (10 Routers, 4 Switches, 1 PC, 1 Wireless AP).R&S: CCENT → CCNA → CCNP → CCIE [ ]
