UL 2043 Certification

Chapter 1 Overview

Hardware Features

The access point supports the following power sources:

•Power module (AIR-PWR-1000=)

•Inline power:

–Cisco Aironet 1000 series access point power injector (AIR-PWRINJ-1000AF=)

–An inline power capable switch, such as the Cisco Catalyst 3550 PWR XL, 3560-48PS, 3570-48PS, 4500 with 802.3AF PoE module, or the 6500 with 802.3AF PoE module

–Other inline power switches supporting the IEEE 802.3af inline power standard

Note The access point requires 12 W of inline power. Some switches and patch panels might not provide enough power to operate the access point. If the access point is unable to determine that the power source can supply sufficient power, the access point does not activate the radios and does not turn on the Power LED.

Caution

The access point has adequate fire resistance and low smoke-producing characteristics suitable for operation in a building's environmental air space, such as above suspended ceilings, in accordance with Section 300-22(c) of the NEC, and with Sections 2-128, 12-010(3) and 12-100 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, C22.1.

Access points mounted in a building’s environmental air space must be powered using PoE to comply with safety regulations.

The external antennas, the power injector (AIR-PWRINJ-1000AF=) and the power module (AIR-PWR-1000=) are not tested to UL 2043 and should not be placed in a building’s environmental air space.

Caution The Ethernet cables to your access points must be rated for above the ceiling mounting.

Anti-Theft Features

The access point supports two security cable keyholes (see Figure 1-2and Figure 1-3) to secure the access point using a standard security cable, like those used on laptop computers.
