number 02-0180-XX00, where XX is the country code).
The APs used in a mesh network generally use AC power.

by AC and PoE at the same time.
- The AP can be powered by 60W PoE to support 802.3af PoE Out to 15.4W.
- The AP can be powered by 60W PoE to support 802.3at PoE Out to 27W. 802.3at (25.5W)
PoE can be supported with 20m (65.6 ft.) or shorter CAT5e UTP or better cable.
