MR33 Power Options

[rinat]

We have Cisco Meraki MR33 from Amazon and it comes without power adapter. On the specification page they say:

The MR33 access point can be powered using either the Meraki AC Adapter, PoE Injector (both sold separately), or a PoE switch.

Couldn't find the Meraki AC Adapter they are referring to anywhere and it's hard to reach the sales team too. Can you suggest some other options, here's another Meraki AC Adapter I found on market would it work or it doesn't match?

Hi,

I am not sure If I could be of great help to you.

The Url you posted do not contain the complete specifications of the adapter.

The nearest I could locate is 

https://www.balticnetworks.com/meraki-ac-adapter-for-mr-wireless-access-points-12v-2-5a-us-version.h...

which seems to be an US version. The specifications are close to the one on the Meraki website.

I believe EU version is referring to the same model. So I assume this shall be compatible.

I have always been using POE injectors and POE switches to power the APs. Hence shall recommend using them unless there is a special case.

Note: I have no experience of using Power adaptors with Meraki APs.

According to this https://meraki.cisco.com/products/wireless/mr33#tech-specs

MA-PWR-30W-XX Meraki AC Adapter for MR Series (XX = US, EU, UK or AU)

But I agree with @AjitKumar, I usually use POE injectors for ease of AP installation.  That way I don't need power near the AP and I can just keep the POE injector in the data room near the switch.

You might be best to contact a local Cisco partner so you get the correct part.  The partner locator can be found here:

Thanks you!

@Adam @AjitKumar Can you tell if this PoE injector will do it? https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00KIEGSRC

@rinat that one should work fine.

Hey @rinat,

***Theoretically*** any power supply with the correct connector and power ratings would work ***But*** we wouldn't be able to support you if anything breaks.

I would personally avoid taking the risk and get in touch with an authorised reseller as per @PhilipDAth 's link. I'm sure they'll be able to sort you.

Thanks!
