Larger servers have a 240V service input. So, some of the networking
equipment designed for server racks also use 240V inputs. (So does my
Kenmore electric oven, by the way.)

That's why I thought this was a router designed for high-end server
environments.

By the way, an OP mentioned polarity of a transformer. This is very
important, but generally the connectors for + and - polarity sources are
not compatible with eachother, but, and a big but, I've worked in
production environments where a tech will solder the wrong type of
connection for expediency so you do have to check if you work in this
environment.
