Power over Ethernet
Connecting a Power Injector
The power injector provides 55 VDC to the access point over the Ethernet cable and supports a total end-to-end
Ethernet cable length of 100 m (328 ft) from the switch to the access point.
Power injector AIR-PWRINJ-60RGDx= is not certified for installation within hazardous locations environments.
Caution
The PoE Out power is disabled when the access point is powered by the power injector. But the PoE Out data
link can still be active when using power injector.
Note
When your access point is powered by an optional power injector, follow these steps to complete the installation:
Procedure
Step 1
Before applying PoE to the access point, ensure that the access point is grounded (see
Step 2
Connect a CAT5e or better Ethernet cable from your wired LAN network to the power injector.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord. Statement
1023
Danger
Use only the power injector (AIR-PWRINJ-60RGDx=) for the access point.
The installer is responsible for ensuring that powering the access point from this type of power
injector is allowed by local and/or national safety and telecommunications equipment standards.
Note
To forward bridge traffic, add a switch between the power injector and controller. Refer to the latest
Cisco Wireless Mesh Access Points, Design and Deployment Guide
for more information.
Tip
Step 3
Ensure that the antennas are connected and that a ground is attached to the access point before you apply
power to the access point.
Step 4
Ensure that the power injector is grounded. See the power injector installation guide for details:

Step 5
Connect a shielded outdoor-rated Ethernet (CAT5e or better) cable between the power injector and the PoE
In connector of the access point.
Step 6
Connect the Ethernet cable to the access point PoE IN port (see
Connecting an Ethernet Cable to the Access
When the access point is powered by PoE+ or UPoE, the PoE Out power is disabled. But the PoE
Out data link can still be active.
