Cable Option - Cisco Aironet 1550 Series Getting Started Manual

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.
To provide inline PoE, you must use the 1500 power injector (AIR-PWRINJ1500-2=).
Caution
Other power injectors, PoE switches, and 802.3af power sources cannot provide adequate
power, which may cause the access point to malfunction and cause possible over-current
conditions at the power source.

Cable Option

The access point POC cable modem configuration contains an internal cable modem for connection to
the cable network from the pole-mounted cable lines. The access point can be powered using the 40-to
90-VAC (quasi-square wave AC) power provided by the cable network.
The cable modem supports these main features:
• Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS)3.0
• Backward compatibility with existing DOCSIS 1.1 and 1.0 networks
