Cable the AP-5181 using either the AP-5181 Power Tap (Part No. AP-PSBIAS-5181-01R) or
the Power Injector (Part No. AP-PSBIAS-1P2-AFR).

a. Connect a RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the Power

Tap’s DATA IN connector or the Power Injector’s Data In connector.

b. Connect a RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the Power Tap’s DATA/PWR OUT connector

or the Power Injector’s Data & Power Out connector and the AP-5181 LAN port.

c. For Power Tap installations, have a certified electrician open the Power Tap enclosure,

feed the power cable through the unit’s LINE AC connector, secure the power cable to
the unit’s three screw termination block and tighten the unit’s LINE AC clamp (by hand)
to ensure the power cable cannot be pulled from the unit.

d. For Power Tap installations, attach a ground cable between the EARTH GROUND

connector (on the back of the unit) to a suitable earth ground connection as defined by
your local electrical code.

e. Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Tap (or Power

Injector) and AP-5181 does not exceed 100 meters (333 ft). Neither the Power Tap or
Power injector has an On/Off power switch. Each receives power as soon as AC power
is applied. For more information on using the see,

oriented upwards to ensure proper operation.

CAUTION Do not supply power to the AP-5181 Power Tap or Power Injector until

the cabling of the access point is complete.

CAUTION For Power Tap installations, an electrician is required to open the

Power Tap unit, feed the power cable through the Line AC connector,
secure the power cable to the unit’s three screw termination block and
tighten the unit’s Line AC clamp (by hand) to ensure the power cable
cannot be pulled from the Power Tap enclosure. Only a certified
electrician should conduct the installation.
