  • Page 23: Connecting The Fiber Cable

    When a fiber cable is used to transmit data, both ends of the cable must use appropriate SFP transceiver • modules. The SFP transceiver modules provided by H3C meet the outdoor deployment requirements, use single mode fiber, and have a transmission distance of 15 km (9.32 mi).
  • Page 24: Connecting The Ap To The Power Source

    Fiber connector boxes are usually waterproof and can be buried underground or mounted on a pole. Connecting the AP to the power source The WA2620X-AGNP AP can be powered by a power injector or a PoE+ switch.
  • Page 25: Connecting The Grounding Cable

    Connecting the AP to a power injector To connect the power injector to the AP (see Figure 15): Connect the power input line to an AC power source. Connect the signal & power output line to the copper port of the AP. Connect the signal input line to a switch or an access controller.
  • Page 26 CAUTION: If the AP is installed outdoor, the Ethernet cable must be waterproof and the connection at the AP port must be sealed with waterproof sealing tape.
