Safety Considerations
You will run one CAT-5 Ethernet cable from the Cisco Aironet 1000 Series lightweight access point
to a network device or a PoE injector/hub.
When a Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point 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 Cisco Aironet 1000 Series lightweight access
point to the wiring closet.
When the Cisco Aironet 1000 Series lightweight access point 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 Cisco Aironet 1000 Series lightweight access point to the wiring closet.
When you are powering the Cisco Aironet 1000 Series lightweight access point from AC power,
route the power supply cable from the AC electrical outlet to the Cisco Aironet 1000 Series
lightweight access point. 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 Cisco Aironet 1000 Series lightweight access point from a PoE source
(a network device, or a PoE injector/hub), you do not need to route a separate power cable to the
Cisco Aironet 1000 Series lightweight access point, because the Cisco Aironet 1000 Series
lightweight access point will receive its power across the CAT-5 Ethernet cable. Return the power
supply to the wireless network planner/manager.
