Fluidmesh 4200 FIBER, Installation And Configuration Manual

Page: 26 / 180

IMPORTANT
The radio transceiver package does not include a DC IN power
source (devices capable of accepting DC IN power only), a
PoE injector, or a powered Ethernet switch. A suitable power
source must be ordered separately.
For technical data on which power sources are compatible with
the Fluidmesh 4200 FIBER, refer to
“Electrical power
requirements” (page 165) .
The Fluidmesh 4200 FIBER can be provided with power using the
following methods:
• A standard IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) connection
(for example, from a compatible network switch).
• A compatible 48 Vdc passive PoE injector conforming to either
IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at .
• A 48 Vdc power source equipped with an M12A connector.
When providing the power source for the Fluidmesh 4200 FIBER,
remember the following important points:
• Install the power source as close to the unit as possible to minimize
voltage drop. The maximum suggested distance is 165ft (50m).

NOTE
For detailed comparative information on which Fluidmesh
hardware devices are capable of accepting power
through IEEE 802.3at or IEEE 802.3af power sources, or
through a DC IN power source, refer to
“Electrical power
requirements” (page 165) .
