Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter 1 Overview
Hardware Features
Caution Do not place the power injector in an unprotected outdoor environment because water could get into the
power injector and cause a short circuit and possible fire.
Caution When the access point is installed outdoors or in a wet or damp location, the AC branch circuit that is
powering the access point should be provided with ground fault protection (GFCI), as required by Article
210 of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Power injectors
The 1560 series access points support the following power injectors:
• AIR-PWRINJ-60RGD1
• AIR-PWRINJ-60RGD2
• AIR-PWRINJ-30RGD1
Warning
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunications line cord.
Statement 1023
Caution When the access point is installed outdoors, or in a wet or damp location, the AC branch circuit that is
powering the access point should be provided with ground fault protection (GFCI), as required by Article
210 of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
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 power from the power injector or a suitably powered switch port.
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.
Optional Hardware
Depending on what you ordered, the following optional access point hardware may be part of your
shipment:
