AP-4000 Series Hardware Description

 

 

 

The Active Ethernet (AE) integrated module receives ~48 VDC over a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable.

To use Active Ethernet, you must have an AE hub (also known as a power injector) connected to the network.

The cable length between the AE hub and the Access Point should not exceed 100 meters (approximately 325 feet). The AE hub is not a repeater and does not amplify the Ethernet data signal.

If connected to an AE hub and an AC power simultaneously, the Access Point draws power from Active Ethernet.

Also see Hardware Specifications.

NOTE: The AP’s 802.3af-compliant Active Ethernet module is backwards compatible with all ORiNOCO Active Ethernet hubs that do not support the IEEE 802.3af standard.
