Power
The bridge receives inline power from the Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR (hereafter called the power
injector). Dual-coax Ethernet cables are used to provide Ethernet data and power from the power injector
to the bridge. The power injector is an external unit designed for operation in a sheltered environment,
such as inside a building. The power injector also functions as an Ethernet repeater by connecting to a
Category 5 LAN backbone and using the dual-coaxial cable interface to the bridge.
