Power Injector System
The Access Point can receive power via an Ethernet cable connected to the GE1/PoE port.
When users purchase a WLAN solution, they often need to place Access Points in obscure
locations. In the past, a dedicated power source was required for each Access Point in
addition to the Ethernet infrastructure. This often required an electrical contractor to install
power drops at each Access Point location. The Power Injector merges power and Ethernet
into one cable, reducing the burden of installation and allowing optimal Access Point
placement in respect to the intended coverage area.
The Power Injector (Part No. AP-PSBIAS-2P2-AFR) is an 802.3af PoE injector. The Access
Point can only use a Power Injector when connecting to the Access Point’s GE1/PoE port.
The Power Injector is separately ordered and not shipped with the Access Point. A separate
Power Injector is required for each Access Point comprising the network.
The Power Injector has no On/Off power switch. The Injector receives power and is ready
for device connection and operation as soon as AC power is applied. Refer to the guide
shipped with the Power Injector for a description of the device’s LEDs. The Power Injector
can be installed free standing, on an even horizontal surface or wall mounted using the
Power Injectors wall mounting key holes.
