Wi-Fi Array
Installing the Wi-Fi Array 97
Wiring Considerations
If you are using the Xirrus Power over Gigabit Ethernet modules (PoGE) to
distribute power, see “Power over Gigabit Ethernet (PoGE)” on page 14. If you
prefer to use AC power and you have an Array that supports AC, an AC power
outlet must be available to the Array.
Once you have determined the best location for your Wi-Fi Array, you must run
cables to the location for the following services:
Power
One of the following options:
No power cable to the Array is required if using PoGE modules.
The PoGE module requires a dedicated AC power outlet (100 -
240 VAC).
Dedicated AC power if PoGE is not in use. A UL-approved cord
is shipped with all AC-equipped Arrays. You must use a UL-
approved cord if using AC power.
Network
Gigabit 1 — If using PoGE modules, the total of all Cat 5e or Cat 6
cable segments from the Gigabit Ethernet switch to the Array
must be less than 100m long. The Array must be connected to
PoGE networks without routing cabling to the outside plant, to
ensure that cabling is not exposed to lightning strikes or possible
high voltage crossover.
Gigabit 2 (optional, not available on the four-port Arrays)
Fast Ethernet (optional, not available on the four-port Arrays)
Serial cable (optional) — cable lengths up to 25’ per the RS-232
specification.
