Turn off the power supply on the switch and leave only data transmission and then everything will work
Okay, thanks. But it’s supplying power to several other devices that have nothing to do with the Emlid. I am going to reach out to my IT department about it. Thanks for the idea

Your It can easily turn off the power only to your port, without turning off other devices.
Okay thanks, is that a physical switch or a setting?

No, it’s not a physical switch, it’s a setting. I certainly don’t know what suite your it is, but in all modern sites this can be done without problems. Good luck in your research!
Hi @tjones,
I appreciate the great insights shared by others in the thread—thanks, everyone, for your helpful comments and ideas!
Regarding the voltage: the 12V supply you mentioned is within the required range. The RS2+ operates with an input voltage of 6V to 40V, and for external cable use, it typically requires 7.5W on average (with a maximum of 10W).
For your custom cable setup, we have a detailed pinout diagram for the RS2+ as well as a diagram showing the cable structure, which should help ensure everything is correctly configured.

Agreed! I really appreciate all of you who weighed in on this topic! In the end, as far as I can tell, it turned out to be an issue with the “trickle chargers” I bought. I took a dive in my local electronics recycling dumpster and found several super basic 12 volt DC power adapters. I tried two one 12v 4a and 12v 1.5a both power the unit without using the USB C port. Having a hard wire internet connection was important for me and the switch providing POE did not negatively affect anything as far as I could tell when it was routed through the tplink Ethernet to usbc adapter. Pictured below is the type of power adapter I ended up using (purple/violet to positive and red to ground. I
can’t thank everyone enough for the support and advice!!!
