Installation in Environmental Air Space
This section provides information on installing 1100 and 1200 series access points in environmental air
space, such as above suspended ceilings.
space, such as above suspended ceilings.
Cisco Aironet 1100 and 1200 Series Access Points provide adequate fire resistance and low
smoke-producing characteristics suitable for operation in a building's environmental air space, such as
above suspended ceilings, in accordance with Section 300-22(C) of the National Electrical Code (NEC)
and Sections 2-128, 12-010(3) and 12-100 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, C22.1.

Note
If you plan to mount a 1200 series access point with a 5-GHz radio in an area subject to environmental
air space, Cisco recommends that you mount the access point horizontally so that its antennas point
down. Doing so ensures that the access point complies with regulatory requirements for environmental
air space with the 5-GHz radio installed.

Power Considerations
This section describes issues you should consider before applying power to an access point.
Caution
The operational voltage range for 1100 series access points is 24 to 60 VDC, and the nominal voltage is
48 VDC. Voltage higher than 60 VDC can damage the equipment.
