All XR Series Array models support Power over Gigabit Ethernet (PoGE) with an
integrated splitter.
Power over Gigabit Ethernet
To deliver power to the Array, you must use Xirrus-supplied Power over Gigabit
Ethernet (PoGE) modules or powered switches. They provide power over Cat 5e
or Cat 6 cables to the Array without running power cables — see Figure 4 on
page 13.
Specific models of the Array are compatible with specific PoGE modules. For
details, please see the Power over Gigabit Ethernet Installation and User Guide.

When using Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable, power can be provided up to a distance of
100m.
Certain Xirrus models (XR-520 and XR--520H) also accept IEEE802.3af
and IEEE802.3at powered switch ports.
