of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider that the other. The
Mains Power Cord has two blades and will fit into a standard Mains Outlet – DO NOT force the cord into any
outlet. Unplug this equipment during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the equipment has been damaged in any
way, such as power cord or plug damaged, liquid has been spilled, or object has fallen into the equipment, the
equipment has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
The AC mains outlet, or appliance coupler shall be readily available to the operator as a means of power
disconnection.
WARNING - Only connect equipment to mains power outlet having protective earthing or grounding
connection. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture.
CAUTION – These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of

Technical Considerations
Before you mount the PoE Injector to a fixed location, consider all of the
following: Determine optimal placement, check patch cord routing and AC outlet location. Collect and
document Network information as required. Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet Network Switch to the
Powered End device does not exceed 328 feet/100 meters total length. Note: The PoE Injector is not a
repeater and does not amplify the Ethernet data signal. The Injector must be used in conjunction with an
Ethernet Switch.
Safety Instructions: The means of connection to the mains power supply is the detachable power cord of
the equipment. The equipment disconnect device is the appliance inlet. The AC socket outlet shall be
installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
