Caution

Cisco Aironet 350 series access points receive power through the Ethernet cable, so you do not need to run a separate power cord to the access point. Plug the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the back of the access point and plug the other end into one of three possible power sources:

A Cisco Aironet power injector

A switch with inline power, such as the Cisco Catalyst 3524-PWR-XL switch

A power patch panel, such as the Cisco Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel

Cisco Aironet 340 series access points rely on a separate power supply plugged into the power port on the back of the access point.

Cisco Aironet power injectors are designed for use with 350 series access points and bridges only. Using the power injector with other Ethernet-ready devices can damage the equipment.

Cisco Aironet Power Injectors are not rated for operation in a building’s environmental air space, such as above suspended ceilings.

The operational voltage range for Cisco Aironet 350 series access points and bridges is 24 to 60 VDC. Higher voltage can damage the equipment.

Omni-Directional Antennas

The access point’s omni-directional, 2.2 dBi antennas provide diversity coverage for your wireless LAN area. Diversity coverage helps maintain a clear radio signal between the access point and wireless client devices. Just as you can improve signal clarity on your car radio at a stoplight by creeping ahead a few inches, the access point can improve signal quality by choosing the antenna that is receiving the best signal from a client device.

Some access points models are equipped with dual reverse-polarity TNC connectors that you can use to connect to your own antennas for special applications.
