Planning the 7782 Access Point Installation

Planning the Physical Installation

The AP can be installed indoors or outdoors, such as on an interior wall or ceiling, on the

exterior roof overhang of a building, or on a streetlight pole.

Refer to Figure 30 for the components involved in a typical outdoor PoE installation. Refer

to Figure 31

for the components involved in a typical outdoor AC installation. Note which

components must be installed indoors and outdoors.

Ruckus Wireless strongly recommends 80mm - 130mm (3”-5”) drip loops on any cables

that are installed outdoors (for example, on an outdoor AP).

WARNING: When the AP is powered by AC and installed in a damp or wet location, the

AC branch circuit should be protected with a Residual-Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB), also

known as a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), per National Electrical Code

Article 210.

Notes on Power Sources

■ The AP only requires one power source (either AC or PoE), but can be powered by AC

and PoE at the same time.

■ The AP may be powered by AC power or by PoE input using an 802.3af/at compliant

PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) when the PoE Output is disabled. The PoE output is

enabled by default.

■ PoE OUT supports 802.3af (15.4W output) loads when the AP is operating off AC input

power or when operating off the PoE input port using a high-power 60W PoE Injector.

■ When AC powered and PoE is present, the AP draws power from the AC connection.

■ The 7782 PoE Output supports high power peripheral devices up to 25W, such as a

small cell or micro cell radio but only with the follow restrictions: the PoE Output cable

length between the 7782 and peripheral device is less than 8m (25 feet) and that the

7782 is operating off of AC Input power. High-power peripherals (up to 25W) may also

be powered by a 7782 operating from the PoE Input using a high power 60W injector,

provided that the PoE input cable length between the injector and 7782 is less than

8m (25 feet) and that the DC voltage at the 7782 PoE input connector is at least 44 VDC.
