Which Power Adapter for EAP683 LR?

Hi TP-Link Community! Happy new year to all of you :)
I'm currently in the process of planning a new network setup and I'm leaning towards the EAP683 LR as access points. I understood that these units are coming without a DC power adapter. I won't be using POE, so I'd like to power these with a separate DC adapter. Is there a recommended one? Or is there maybe a part-/modelnumber for a spare part power adapter?
thanks and BR!

12VDC, 2A (24W) with what looks like a 2.5mm? center positive plug. Unless you are meshing these and don't have cabling, I would strongly recommend you consider POE+ via something like the SG105PP

Thanks for your fast response!
Actually my plan was to connect the APs to a SG3210X-M2, which is 2.5G, but without POE. Another option would be TL-SG3210XHP-M2, which is more or less the same, but with POE+. Besides the significant oncost, the "HP" version seems to have very noisy fans. Could this have been improved with the "V2" Hardware Version?
The TL-SG105PE seems to be lacking 2.5G support, is that correct? And could that be managed with an Omada controller?
Thanks so far!
P.S.: Maybe this is a dumb question, but I don't get the real benefits of POE for my scenario. Everywhere I want to place the APs, I have power and ethernet available. So my understanding is, that I can safe for the losses in the ethernet cables, if I just use a "classic" power adapter... Am I missing something?

Thanks for your help, much appreciated!
I'm still not finished with my plannings but I will likely go with the external DC power supplies or maybe use a POE injector...
