Before You Begin

Become Familiar with the Installation Components

Figure 10.

Typical installation components using both PoE and DC power sources 

WARNING:  

Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, 

or service this equipment.

WARNING:  

Installation of this equipment must comply with local and national electrical 

codes.

CAUTION:  

Make sure that you form a 3”-5” drip loop in any cable that is attached to the 

Access Point. This will prevent water from running along the cable and entering the Access 
Point or the building where the cable terminates.

CAUTION:  

Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national 

electrical codes. For additional lightning protection, use lightning rods and lightning 
arrestors.

.

WARNING:  

The Ruckus Wireless PoE injector (if supplied with your Access Point) is for 

indoor use only. Never mount the PoE injector outdoor with the Access Point.
