Note: 1 - Power consumption is defined for TTL RS232 operation. Power consumption may
vary if the USB interface is connected.
Note: 2 - Power consumption is defined for operation into a 17dB return loss load or better.
Power consumption may increase, up to 8.2W, during operation into return losses
worse than 17dB and high ambient temperatures.
