How many watts does it consume when idle or with low network traffic

The only actual data I have is that the label says 120/240V 50/60 Hz 0.6A. Now, that could be as high as 144 watts. I can absolutely assure you that it consumes nothing even remotely like that. I can't unplug the switch now to measure, but I can tell you that the case is just barely perceptibly warm to the touch. I would guess something in the neighborhood of 2 - 3 watts.

I use 650W . I think it is enough. You can search some websites that tells you exactly how much you need depending on your computer.

It is rated at 65W running entirely off of the PCIe slot. I don't know actual consumption.

54W measured on high fan speed and everything else on. Not bad, it'll cost you about 1.2kWhr per day running 24x7

I just bought a space saver 6. I use a Kill-a-Watt device to measure the power consumption. It is around 40 watt per hour.

not a lot, I have one running 24/7. I have it on a pretty basic power strip. No issues so far, and my entire fish tank (air pumps, lights and filters) use very little energy.

I've been using it side by side with a digital usage meter provided by my utility company (SMUD) and it is always within 30 Watts (shows 30W less). Not a scientific test though :).

I believe it writes data to hard drive, so it does not need constant power. I have lost power and unplugged it a few times with no data loss.

It takes DC12V, PoE; Power Consumption: Max.4W. I am not sure about 802.3af compliant.

Runs all the time . Not sure about the watts . Very little effect on my electric bill, if that's what worries you .

I have a printer and a desktop and two hard drives plugged into my CP1500 and it draws only 45 watts and a 9% load, hope this helps.

I don't have anything to measure the power usage but there is a fan. The fan does run at a constant speed. During start up of the router the fan does spin at maximum for a few seconds and settle down to its normal operating speed. The fan noise in this router gets drowned out by the fans from my servers at home. As far as I know, there isn't an energy saving option to shut down the router. That's something that can be done manually via the power button. On the plus side this is about the best router I've had. It covers most of the dead spots around my house compared to my previous routers. I don't have anything to measure the power usage but there is a fan. The fan does run at a constant speed.

It depends how you use the computer. If you often use more than 900W for gaming or processing then I recommend your UPS exceeds what you use. If you use it for surfing the internet or word processing then you're probably using less than 400W and it'll do fine. You can download meters that show your power usage if you feel like you might approach 900W regularly.

It doesn't use much, I think I noticed my power supply using about 150mA/.150A.

about 1300 watts on fan speed 1 and about 1450 watts on fan speed 10 - I find 3 gives a warmer feeling heat flow than 1 for some reason. anything higher than 5 is just for breeze cooling - too much air movement for heatingOn start-up it briefly spikes to around 1525 for a few seconds -as measured with a Kill-o-WattP3 P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor

My owners manual states that the power consumption is 35 to 80 watts depending on which fan setting is used.
