Planning the 7782 Access Point Installation

Deciding How to Power the AP

The AP can be powered using either AC power and/or Power over Ethernet (PoE). Use this

information and the information in “

Planning the Physical Installation” on page 13 to

determine how to power the AP.

AC Power

An AC power cable connector is supplied with the AP. The customer supplies the country-

specific 3-wire AC power cable. The supported input voltages are:

■ Single Phase (L-N, PE): 120/240/250Vac 50/60Hz

■ Split Phase (L-L, PE): 208/230Vac 50/60Hz

The 7782 APs used in a mesh network generally use AC power.

Power over Ethernet

The customer orders a Ruckus Wireless PoE injector (part number 902-0180-XX00, where

XX is the country code). Note the following:

■ 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.

■ The AP can be powered by PoE 60W - to support PoE Out to 15.4W.

■ 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.
