Cisco Aironet 1500 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point Hardware Installation Guide
OL-9977-05
Chapter 1 Overview
Hardware Features
Table 1-1 and Tabl e 1-2 lists the supported external antennas for the access point.
Multiple Power Sources
The access point can be powered by one of these power sources:
• 48 VDC inline power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
• AC power
Inline PoE is provided by a shielded Ethernet cable using the Cisco Aironet Power Injector (AIR-
PWRINJ1500=), hereafter called the power injector.
Caution To provide inline PoE, you must use the power injector (AIR- PWRINJ1500=) specified for the access
point. Other power injectors, PoE switches, and 802.3af power sources may not provide adequate power,
which may cause the access point to malfunction and cause over-current conditions at the power source.
You must ensure that the switch port connected to the access point has PoE turned off.
Caution The power injector (AIR- PWRINJ1500=) has been evaluated for installa tion in an indoor environment
only.
Caution When the access point is installed outdoors or in a wet or damp location, the AC branch circuit that is
powering the access point should be provided with ground fault protection (GFCI), as req uired by Article
210 of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
