When the CAT-5 cable cannot be run through the ceiling plenum, find another path to route the cable from the AP to the wiring closet. • When the AP will be mounted above the ceiling using the ceiling mount or wall mount brackets, run the CAT-5 cable to the wiring closet through the ceiling plenum. When the CAT-5 cable cannot be run through the ceiling plenum, find another path to route the cable from the AP to the wiring closet. • When you are powering the AP from AC power, route the power supply cable from the AC electrical outlet to the AP. Be sure you secure the AC power plug so it will be difficult for people to pull on the power cord or unplug the power supply from the AC power outlet. • When you are powering the AP from a PoE source (a network device, or a PoE injector/hub), you do not need to route a separate power cable to the AP, because the AP will receive its power across the CAT-5 Ethernet cable. Return the power supply to the wireless network planner/manager. AP1010 Cisco Aironet 1000 Series IEEE 802.11a/b/g Lightweight Access Points with Internal Antennas - Quick Start Guide 78-17146-01 A-1
