AP-4000 Series Hardware Description
21
• The Active Ethernet (AE) integrated module receives ~48 VDC over a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable.
• To use Active Ethernet, you must have an AE hub (also known as a power injector) connected to the network.
• The cable length between the AE hub and the Access Point should not exceed 100 meters (approximately 325 feet).
The AE hub is not a repeater and does not amplify the Ethernet data signal.
• If connected to an AE hub and an AC power simultaneously, the Access Point draws power from Active Ethernet.
Also see Hardware Specifications.
NOTE: The AP’s 802.3af-compliant Active Ethernet module is backwards compatible with all ORiNOCO Active Ethernet
hubs that do not support the IEEE 802.3af standard.
