Multiple Power Sources

Caution

Caution

Caution

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.

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.

The power injector (AIR- PWRINJ1500=) has been evaluated for installation in an indoor environment only.

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 required by Article 210 of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
