Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Powering the Access Point
Note The cable gland accepts a cable diameter of 0.20 to 0.35 in. (0.51 to 0.89 cm).
Step 5 Insert a bare end of the DC power cable into the rounded end of the cable gland (see Figure 2-35), and
pull approximately 6 inches of cable through the adapter.
Warning
When installing the DC power cable, ensure that cable gland and the rubber gasket are present and
installed properly, to avoid water leakage into the enclosure. See Figure 2-35 and Figure 2-37.
Step 6 Strip the DC cable jacket back about 1 inch to expose the wires and strip the insulation about 3/8 inch
(9.5 mm) from each wire.
Step 7 Insert each wire into the two-position terminal strip (supplied), and tighten each wire using a 0.1 inch
(0.25 cm) flat screw driver (see Figure 2-36).

Step 8 Insert the two-position terminal strip into the DC power opening in the access point case, and carefully
push the terminal strip into the internal connector (see Figure 2-37).
Note Ensure that the polarity of the terminal strip properly matches the polarity markings on the
enclosure (see Figure 2-38)
