POWER SOURCES AND POWER CONSUMPTION
The AP supports direct DC power and Power over Ethernet
  • The AP supports direct DC power and Power over Ethernet
  • When both DC and PoE power sources are available, DC power takes priority over PoE units
  • Power sources are sold separately; see the 500 Series Ordering Guide for details
  • When powered by DC or 802.3at (class 4) PoE, the AP will operate without restrictions units
  • When powered by 802.3af (class 3) PoE and with the IPM feature disabled, the AP will disable the USB port. In the same configuration but with IPM enabled, the AP will start up in unrestricted mode, but may dynamically apply restrictions depending on the PoE budget and actual power. The feature restrictions and order can be programmed.
Maximum (worst-case) power consumption (without / with a USB device attached):
  • DC powered: 8.9W / 14.2W
  • PoE powered (802.3at): 11.0W / 16.5W
  • PoE powered (802.3af): 11.0W / 13.5W
  • This assumes that up to 5W is supplied to the attached USB device
Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode:
4.3W (DC) or 6.1W (PoE)
Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in deep-sleep mode:
1.7W (DC) or 3.3W (PoE)
