Yes, this needs a power source, in addition to being plugged into a network port. A power cable is provided, as well as a CAT-5e cable.

The My Cloud NAS hard drive does need a power source and it comes with an AC adapter to provide it. The cat-5 jack is available to connect to the network, but a separate power source is required.
