Connecting the Power Cable
The AP-270 Series product offering offers two ways to connect the unit to AC power. Two power cord
variants are offered and a connector kit that allows the customer to assemble their own cable if the
standard offering does not meet deployment needs.
Failure to use the included Ethernet cable glands can lead to connectivity and POE issues.
The cable is not included and must be purchased separately. Purchase a suitable UV-resistant, outdoor rated, CAT
5E or better RJ45 cable for use with the AP.

Installation and service of Aruba products should be performed by Professional Installers in a manner that is
consistent with the electrical code in force in the jurisdiction of deployment. In many countries this will require a
licensed electrician to perform this operation. In Japan, this is a Certified Electrician by Ministry of Economy, Trade,
and Industry.
The AP-270 Series does not ship with any power cables. These are available as accessories and should be ordered
separately.
