Cabling Safety Regulations; Internal Electrical Isolation - NEC AP400 Installation Manual

The power for the AP400(E) must be supplied via the Ethernet cable, PoE (IEEE
802.3af). There is no room for a Mains Power adaptor inside the Outdoor Cabinet.
Note: "Category 7" cabling is not supported!
Note: PoE source must comply with clause 2.5 (Limited Power Source) per EN 60950-1

CABLING SAFETY REGULATIONs

Please read the following notes carefully:
Note: When you are going to install an AP400(E) outdoors, it should always be installed
in an Outdoor Box.
Note: The cabling and/or the AP400(E) may never be exposed to over-voltages (e.g.
lightning) without proper protection.
Therefore mind the following notes:
Note: When the AP400 is installed in the Outdoor Cabinet, and the Outdoor Cabinet is
mounted against a wall, lead the cable directly indoors. This avoids that the cable
becomes sensitive to over-voltage. In that case, no lightning protection is needed.
It is strongly recommended to use shielded Cat 5 cable. Make sure that the shield
of the cable is connected to a proper "ground".
Note: When the AP400 is installed in the Outdoors and cabling runs outdoors, the
cabling will be exposed to lightning and over-voltage. You must use lightning
arrestors/protectors which comply with the local regulations and legislation.
Furthermore, the cabling outdoors, must be shielded Cat. 5 cabling. Make sure
that the shield of the cable is connected to a proper "ground".

INTERNAL ELECTRICAL ISOLATION

The AP400(E) provides internal isolation (1,5 kV) between the Ethernet connection and
the internal electrical components, including the antenna's and antenna connector in the
AP400E in the AP400.
