Power Requirements for AP43
The AP43 requires PoE+ or 802.3at power. Make sure that you connect an AP43 to an 802.3at or PoE+
switch. To provide full wireless funconality, the AP43 requests 25.5 W power. You can use any of the
following opons to power on an AP43:
• Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) from an Ethernet switch
We recommend that you use an Ethernet cable with a maximum length of 100 m to connect the
access point (AP) to the switch port.
If you use an Ethernet cable that is longer than 100 m by placing an Ethernet PoE+ extender in the
path, the AP might power up, but the Ethernet link does not transmit data across such a long cable.
You might see the status LED blink yellow twice. This LED behavior indicates that the AP is unable to
receive data from the switch.
• PoE injector
• 12 V DC power supply
