You will run one CAT-5 Ethernet cable from the AP to a network device or a PoE injector/hub.
When a AP will be mounted below the ceiling using the ceiling mount or wall mount brackets, you
may have to drill a hole into the ceiling plenum to run the CAT-5 cable to the wiring closet. When
the CAT-5 cable cannot be run through the ceiling plenum, find another path to route the cable from
the AP to the wiring closet.
When the AP will be mounted above the ceiling using the ceiling mount or wall mount brackets, run
the CAT-5 cable to the wiring closet through the ceiling plenum. When the CAT-5 cable cannot be
run through the ceiling plenum, find another path to route the cable from the AP to the wiring closet.
When you are powering the AP from AC power, route the power supply cable from the AC electrical
outlet to the AP. Be sure you secure the AC power plug so it will be difficult for people to pull on
the power cord or unplug the power supply from the AC power outlet.
When you are powering the AP from a PoE source (a network device, or a PoE injector/hub), you
do not need to route a separate power cable to the AP, because the AP will receive its power across
the CAT-5 Ethernet cable. Return the power supply to the wireless network planner/manager.
