Hardware Features
Note The maximum Ethernet cable length is 128 ft. (38 m) from the switch to the power injector an d 200 ft.
(61 m) from the power injector to the access point.
AC power is provided from an AC power source (100 to 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz):
• AC power cord options:
–
15-ft (4.6-m) power cord (AIR-CORD1500-15NA=) for use in the US and Canada.
–
40-ft (12.2-m) power cord (AIR-CORD1500-40NA=) for light pole installations in the US and
Canada.

Aironet 1500 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Points document that shipped with your AC
power cords.
Ethernet Port
The access point’s Ethernet port uses a Mil-spec 12 pin connector, linking the access point to your
10BASE-T or 100BASE-T Ethernet LAN through the optional power injector. The shielded Ethernet
cables are used to send and receive Ethernet data and to optionally supply inline 48-VDC power from
the power injector.
The Ethernet MAC address is printed on the label on the side of the access point (refer to the “Finding
the Product Serial Number” section on page xiii).
Tip The access point senses the Ethernet and power signals and automatically switches internal circuitry to
match the cable connections.
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 -c ur r en t co nd iti on s at th e power source.
