Cisco Aironet 1520 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point Hardware Installation Guide

OL-12632-02

Chapter 1      Overview

  Hardware Features

Caution

To provide inline PoE, you must use the 1520 power injector (AIR-PWRINJ1500-2=). Other power 
injectors, PoE switches, and 802.3af power sources cannot provide adequate power, which can cause the 
access point to malfunction and cause over-current conditions at the power source. 

Caution

The 1520 power injector (AIR-PWRINJ1500-2=) must be used in an indoor environment only.

Note

In the cable configuration, the cable modem is activated only when the access point is powered by POC 
or external 12 VDC power. When using only PoE power, the cable modem is deactivated.

Caution

When the access point is installed outdoors or in a wet or damp location, the AC branch circuit that is 
powering the access point should be provided with ground fault protection (GFCI), as required by Article 
210 of the National Electrical Code (NEC).

The Ethernet cable from the power injector to the access point (PoE-in port) must be not less than 10 ft

 

(3.1 m).

The AC power cord options are listed below: 

  •

40-ft (15.2-m) power cord for light pole installations in the US and Canada. One end of the power 
cord is terminated with an access point AC power connector, and the other end is terminated with 
an AC plug (AIR-CORD-R3P-40NA=).

  •

4-ft (1.2-m) streetlight power tap adapter for light pole installations in the US and Canada 
(AIR-PWR-ST-LT-R3P=).

Ethernet Ports

The access point supports a PoE-in port and a PoE-out port. The access point’s PoE-in port uses an RJ-45 
connector (with a liquid tight adapter) to link the access point to the 10/100/1000BASE-T network. The 
Ethernet cable is used to send and receive Ethernet data and to optionally supply inline 56-VDC power 
from the power injector. 

The access point’s PoE-out (10/100/1000BASE-T) port uses an RJ-45 connector (with a liquid tight 
adapter) to provide LAN connectivity and IEEE 802.3af power to a single peripheral customer device, 
such as a camera or sensor gateway. The PoE-out port should not be connected to a switch or hub.

Note

The PoE-out port is disabled when the access point is powered by the power injector.

The Ethernet MAC addresses is printed on the bottom of the access point under the LEDs (refer to the 

“Finding the Product Serial Number” section on page XIV

). 

Warning

To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.
