Ethernet (PoE) Ports
The access point supports an Ethernet uplink port (PoE-In). The access point Ethernet uplink port uses
an RJ-45 connector (with weatherproofing) to link the access point to the 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T or
1000BASE-T network. The Ethernet cable is used to send and receive Ethernet data and to optionally
supply inline 56-VDC power from the power injector.
Tip The access point senses the Ethernet and power signals and automatically switches internal
circuitry to match the cable connections.
Warning
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.
Statement 1023
The Ethernet cable must be a shielded outdoor rated Category 5e (CAT5e) or better cable. The access
point senses the Ethernet and power signals and automatically switches internal circuitry to match the
cable connections.
