Introduction
The power injector increases wireless LAN deployment flexibility of the access point by providing an alternative powering option to local power, inline power-capable multiport switches, and multiport power patch panels.
The power injector combines 56-VDC power supplied by the external power supply) with the data signal, sending both to the access point. The power injector provides up to 30 W over the unused wire pairs of a Category 5 Ethernet cable, supplying enough power for a distance of 328 ft. (100 m).
A Category 5 Ethernet cable connects the power injector to a 10/100/1000 Ethernet switch, hub, or network, and another cable carries power and data to the access point's or bridge's Ethernet port. The power injector's power supply connects to a wall outlet or power strip. The power injector can be mounted on most horizontal and vertical surfaces. However, they must not be stacked on on top the other.
The following illustration shows the key features of the power injector.

Mounting Instructions
You can mount both models to most vertical or horizontal surfaces. The power injector does not ship with a mounting kit. You must provide the fasteners for the surface on which you intend to mount the access point.
The power injector has two 1/8-in (3.1-mm) elongated mounting tabs, one on each end, that you can use to secure it to the surface. To mount the power injector using these tabs, you will need two #5 fasteners of the appropriate type for the surface on which you are mounting the power injector on.
Follow these steps to mount the power injector on a horizontal or vertical surface. The procedure may vary depending on what type of surface you are mounting the power injector on. Also, it may be helpful to refer to the illustration on page 8.
