The Cisco Aironet Power Injector Media Converter increases
wireless LAN deployment flexibility of Cisco Aironet Access Points and Bridges
by providing an alternative powering option to local power, inline power-capable
multiport switches, and multiport power patch panels.
The power injector media converter combines 48-VDC power
(supplied by the external power supply) with the data signal, sending both to
the Cisco Aironet Access Point or Bridge.
The power injector media converter receives data over the
fiber-optic cable through its MT-RJ fiber connector. The fiber-optic data
signals are converted to Ethernet data signals and sent to the access point
through the injector's Category 5 RJ-45 port. A Category 5 Ethernet cable
connects the injector to the access point. The injector's power supply connects
to a wall outlet or power strip to supply the power. An alternate 48-VDC power
source can be used instead of the power supply.
The power injector media converter provides up to 15W over
the unused wire pairs of a Category 5 Ethernet cable, supplying enough power for
a distance of 328 ft (100 m) on the Cisco Aironet 350, 1100, an 1200 Series
Access Points and the Cisco Aironet 350 Series Bridges.
