About the cat router power consumption aging problem

Hehe, you're asking the right person. I've asked this question before, but it's not comprehensive. I'm a man who wants to find out everything.

I consulted a lot of information and consulted a lot of professional knowledge. I finally know a little more than them. Seeing that you are a real person, you will give selflessly today.

Don't talk about too technical terms and formulas. To put it in layman's terms: regardless of the router and the cat, there are two aspects of power consumption, and two states.

On the one hand, there is the main unit (which goes without saying), and on the other hand, there is the power adapter, which is the transformer. (Because, the adapter is also a type of electrical appliance.) In addition, its main energy consumption is the conversion of electrical energy into heat energy).

The two states are: 1. Low power consumption when standby (or when there are few computer connections). 2. High power consumption during work (frequent data exchange, driving multiple computers at the same time).

Now, the average home router (including transformer) consumes about 10 watts (a little higher if it's summer.) If the machine is used for a long time, it will also be a little higher. In short, not less than 10w) The cat is about the same as the router.

You can think of the cat and router as a 20w light bulb that is on all the time. One kilowatt-hour of electricity for two days. 360 days a year (those 5 days are the shutdown time) is 180 degrees.

Then multiply that by the electricity bill for each kilowatt-hour you have there, and that's a year's worth of electricity. Here we are 180 degrees = 152 yuan.

As for the slower internet speed you said than before, it has something to do with the old machine saying. But other reasons are not excluded. We all know that the most feared thing about electrical appliances is heat and high temperature.

This is because staying at high temperatures (operating) for a long time accelerates the aging of components. The performance of the machine is reduced and the power consumption is increased. Then there is the fear of voltage instability.

There are also lightning strikes (instantaneous excessive current, breaking down the line). Routers and cats are no exception. Generally, routers are shared by several people.

The machine is always on. So it's always working. When the machine is working, it heats up.

It accelerates the aging of the machine.

I suggest that it's best to turn off the computer every once in a while. It's not just about energy savings. The most important thing is to extend the life and performance of the machine.

If it's on, don't turn it off. With 5-6 years, no problem. Unless it's for upgrades or replacements.

If it's always on, then I don't dare to say it.

I don't know if you understand. I can also give you a figurative analogy (I wonder if you have a motorcycle or a car). Router or cat = motorcycle. Power Consumption = Fuel Consumption Aging = Wear and Tear.

There are two aspects of fuel consumption: 1. --- engine (main aspect).

2--- Air conditioning, lighting, audio, etc. (ancillary aspects)

Two states: 1--- at idle (low fuel consumption).

2. --- when driving (the higher the fuel consumption, the faster or the higher the load capacity).

Wear and tear: 1--- normal use (no problem for 1-2 years, no need to overhaul).

2--- No stopping (running for 10 days is almost useless).

Having said all that, I hope it helps you.

Router 80-100 block, the cat does not know.

The router and cat do not consume power, less than one kilowatt-hour for 2 days.

1. Cats are generally 10V 1A, which is 12W. The router is generally, that is, 9W. Low power consumption.

2. Calculation of power consumption of this type of product: the rated voltage and rated current of the product are marked on the adapter. The power dissipation (W) is obtained by multiplying the rated voltage by the rated current.

3. First add the output voltage of the router and the cat to 9+10=. Every 1000V of electricity used is 1 kWh, and the current hourly usage is calculated as electricity. 1000 divided by 19 = 52 hours consumes 1 kWh of electricity.

4. The month is 30 days, and the day is 24 hours. 30 times 24 = 720 hours per month. 720 hours per month, divided by 52 hours, is 1 kWh = kWh per month.

5. The electricity consumption for one year is not high. If you change to electricity, it will be about 5 yuan a month.

Cats are generally 12v 1a, which is 12w. Routers are generally, that is. Low power consumption.

Calculation of power consumption of this type of product:

The adapter is marked with the rated voltage and current rating of the product.

The power dissipation (W) is obtained by multiplying the rated voltage by the rated current.

For example, the one on the left is 9v*, and the one on the right is 12v*1a=12w

You can calculate it yourself, take a look at the adapter voltage and current of your router and cat, the maximum power is equal to the voltage multiplied by the current, my router and the cat are both 9v, 800ma, so the power = 9*, so the maximum power is in, and the power consumption of standby is far less than the value. It will not exceed the maximum power, electricity = power * hours, according to the maximum, hours, less than one kilowatt-hour of electricity. Hope it helps!

The router and the cat have to be plugged in, of course, it consumes power, but the power consumption is very small, and the cat in my bedroom has been on since I bought it!

The general ASDL is at 600mA and the route is at 800mA, adding up to 1400mA; Electricity consumption = power (kw) * hour, power (w) = voltage (v) * current (a); One hour of operation. monthly.

When cats and routers are powered on for a long time, it will affect their lifespan. But overall, it's fine, and there won't be any major problems. In fact, it's not good to keep it on, it will sometimes slow down and become stuck, and occasionally turn it off and refresh the network, and it will become smoother.

If the router is not unplugged, it will consume power. The router consumes power for one year when it is standby.

The survey conducted a standby power consumption test on 7 kinds of household appliances at home, including televisions, air conditioners, computers, routers, water heaters, washing machines and mobile sockets, and found that computers ranked first in power consumption, consuming 7 watts per hour, while routers ranked second, consuming 4 watts per hour, and water heaters ranked third. Comparatively, the standby energy consumption of large household appliances such as TVs and air conditioners is less than 1 watt per hour, which is far lower than that of routers.

Yes, after a while, take a break for a few minutes after a power outage.

Yes, no household appliance can be used beyond its life limit, it is recommended to modem and router, it is better to turn off the electricity at night, otherwise you will find that the router will often have network problems in a few months.

It will affect the service life, and the life of the appliance is calculated in terms of the time it is energized.

Yes, try to turn it off when not in use, and try to unplug it in thunderstorms.

If you want to save electricity, you can turn it off when not in use.

A qualified modem with the router can work continuously without turning off the power. But in order to save energy and prolong life, it is recommended to turn off the power of the cat and the router regularly.

Prolonged use of routers and cats may cause network interruptions, reduced network speeds, and increased latency. Generally, restarting the router and modem can solve the problem.

Both the router and the cat are electronic products, and they will heat up when they work continuously. Please place the router and the cat in a ventilated environment to prevent the device from overheating and affecting the network stability.

It's mainly thunder and burned, and now after the thunderstorm outside, many cats have died, and many of them have turned off the computer and unplugged the electricity, why? It's because the thunder must unplug the incoming line of the network cable, that is, the line connecting the cat! Otherwise, it's easy to burn out!

Normally, it won't be broken, and the cat and router I use at home have not been closed for a long time and have not been broken. Mainly beware of high and low voltage electricity and thunder, nothing else matters.

As long as the voltage is not unstable, it generally does not burn out.

No. Generally, it is better to stop once a month.

Generally, it won't, but it will affect the service life!

The power supply of the cat is generally 9V 800mA or 5V 1A, and the power supply of the router is generally 5V 1A or 9V 800mA.

The power consumption of the cat is calculated as 9V 800MA: 9*, which is the rated power, and the actual use will not exceed 70% under normal circumstances, so the power consumption of a 100W bulb for an hour is almost equivalent to the power consumption of a 100W bulb for an hour. Talk about fiber.

The power consumption of the router is calculated as 5V 1A: 5*1*24=120W, which is the rated power, and the actual use will not exceed 70% under normal circumstances, so the power consumption of the router for 24 hours is almost equivalent to the power consumption of an 80W bulb for an hour.

The combined power consumption of the two in a month is: 180W*30 (one hour per day) = 5400Wh = kWh.

If it's not closed for a long time, it's going to be a small strike. Machines are the same as people, they will also decay and age. It needs to rest too.

It works day and night, and it needs to rest. My house is a cat router in one, and I never paid attention to its rest before. It will strike at me.

There will be an error** and I can't connect to the network. Then close it and let it rest for half an hour, and it's all right. So you should also pay attention to let it rest and rest.

As for burning, it hasn't been seen in my house yet. But I've also heard of burning out. Half, it shouldn't burn out so easily.

As long as the voltage is not unstable, it generally does not burn out.
