Basic Hardware Installation
AC Power Cable
The router supports the Cisco AC power cable that is shipped with the unit. One end of the cable has the
router AC power connector; the other end is unfinished and you must provide and attach an AC power
plug, or terminate the cable at your installation site. The AC power plug or termination method you use
depends on the power source, such as a junction box, at your site.
If you attach an AC power plug:
•
Use a plug that complies with local and national electrical codes.
•
Verify the connection between the cable and plug is weatherproof.
You might have to cut the cable if a specific cable length is needed for your installation.
Caution
Ensure that the power source is OFF before connecting or disconnecting the power cord wires from the
power source.
Caution
To attach the appropriate connector the AC power cable, follow the manual or other instructions
provided by the electrical equipment vendor, ensuring that you comply with the electrical codes for your
installation location.
