Power Sources

• The AP supports direct DC power and Power over Ethernet (PoE) on port E0 and/or E1
• When both DC and PoE power sources are available, DC power takes priority over PoE
• When PoE power is supplied to both Ethernet ports, either port can be configured as the active power source
• Inactive/standby PoE power sources can be used to deliver hitless failover
• Power sources are sold separately; see the 630 Series Ordering Guide for details
• When powered by DC or 802.3bt (class 5) PoE, the AP will operate without restrictions.
• When powered by 802.3at (class 4) PoE with the IPM feature disabled, the AP will disable the USB port.
• Operating the AP with an 802.3af (class 3 or lower) POE source is not supported (except for AP staging).
• With IPM enabled, the AP will start up in unrestricted mode but may dynamically apply restrictions depending on the available power budget and actual consumption. The feature restrictions and order in which these get applied are configurable.

Maximum (worst-case) power consumption (without / with a USB device attached) 

• DC powered: 20.7W/26.4W.
• PoE powered: 23.8W/29.4W.
• This assumes that up to 5W is supplied to the attached USB device

Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode

8.7W/14.2W (DC) or 11.7W/17.2W (PoE)

Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in deep-sleep mode

 1.1W (DC) or 1.9W (PoE)

A mounting bracket has been pre-installed on the back of the AP. This bracket is used to secure the AP to any of the mount kits (sold separately)
