Aironet 1400 Series Bridge
The Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge ships with all of the components and accessories necessary to
complete most deployments. These components and accessories include:
The Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR for supplying power to the bridge without expensive electrician
costs (Power Injector).
The power injector also extends the distance the Cisco 1400 Series Wireless Bridge can be installed
from the network (see Figure).
The Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Multifunction Mount, with its innovative design, provides greater ease
of installation and flexibility. The mount comes complete with stainless steel hardware to improve
corrosion resistance.
Two lengths of shielded Dual RG−6 cables and a building entry point grounding block, all with
F−Type connectors for use with the Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR and connection to the bridge
unit.
A power supply and cord, enough coaxial sealant for all outdoor connectors, and corrosion−proof gel
to protect grounding connections.
The Power Injector LR converts the standard 10/100 baseT Ethernet category 5 RJ−45 interface that is
suitable for weather−protected areas to a dual F−Type connector interface for dual coax cables that are more
suitable for harsh outdoor environments. While providing a 100baseT interface to the Cisco Aironet 1400
Series, the Power Injector LR also provides power to the unit over the same cables with a power discovery
feature that protects other appliances from damage should they accidentally be connected. As an added benefit
to the installer, Auto MDIX is built in. This allows the dual cables to be swapped and maintains the same
functionality. In order to support longer cable runs from your infrastructure network switch or router, the
Power Injector LR is designed to accommodate 100 m coaxial cable run plus 100 m of indoor cat5 cable, to
enable total cable runs up to 200 meters. Lightning and surge protection is also included at the F−Type
connector interface to provide added protection to your network infrastructure devices. Refer to Cisco Aironet
1400 Series Wireless Bridge for more information.
