Caution
When the product is installed outside of the building, and the DC power/Ethernet connection
is used, this cabling should be installed in accordance with the requirements of a Class 2
circuit, as detailed in Article 725 of the National Electric Code (NEC). Such requirements
include, but are not limited to, routing the Class 2 cabling away from AC power lines and AC
building wiring, and limiting the exposed cable runs external to the building to less than 140
ft (42 m) – or is directly buried or in underground conduit, where a continuous metallic cable
shield or a continuous metallic conduit containing the cable is bonded to each building
grounding electrode system. If such installation methods are not used, the cabling must be
installed according to the requirements for telecommunication circuits (TNV) as detailed in
Article 800, which includes requirements for a Listed primary protector upon entering the
building, and limits the installation to only Listed networking equipment designed to
accommodate telecommunication interfaces.

Step 3
Ensure the antennas are connected to the access point before you apply power to the access point.
Step 4
Connect a shielded outdoor-rated Ethernet cable (such as AIR-ETH1500-150=) between the power
injector and the access point’s Ethernet connector (see
injector and the access point’s Ethernet connector (see
