  Wi-Fi Antennas

  AP-535: Four integrated dual-band downtilt omni- directional antennas for 4×4 MIMO with peak antenna gain of 3.5dBi in 2.4GHz and 5.4dBi in 5GHz. Built-in antennas are optimized for horizontal ceiling mounted orientation of the AP. The downtilt angle for maximum gain is roughly 30 degrees. A mix of horizontally and vertically polarized antenna elements is used Combining the patterns of each of the antennas of the MIMO radios, the peak gain of the combined, average pattern is 1.9dBi in 2.4GHz and 3.5dBi in 5GHz.

• Power Sources and Power Consumption

  The AP supports direct DC power and Power over Ethernet (POE; on port E0 and/or E1) When POE power is supplied to both Ethernet ports, the AP can be configured to combine or prioritize power sources When both DC and POE power sources are available, DC power takes priority over POE Power sources are sold separately; see the ordering Information section below for details When powered by DC, 802.3bt (class 5) POE or 2x 802.3at (class 4) POE, the AP will operate without restrictions. When powered by 1x 802.3at (class 4) POE and with the IPM feature disabled, the AP will disable the USB port and disable the other Ethernet port. In the same configuration but with IPM enabled, the AP will start up in unrestricted mode, but may dynamically apply restrictions depending on the POE budget and actual power. The feature restrictions and order can be programmed. Operating the AP with an 802.3af (class 3 or lower) POE source is not supported (except for AP staging; no radios will be enabled). Maximum (worst-case) power consumption: DC powered: 23.3W POE powered (802.3bt or dual 802.3at): 26.4W POE powered (802.3at, IPM disabled): 23.3W All numbers above are without an external USB device connected. When sourcing the full 5W power budget to such a device, the incremental (worst-case) power consumption for the AP is up to 5.7W ( POE powered) or 5.5W ( DC powered). Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode: 13.3W ( POE) or 14.3W (DC) Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in deep-sleep mode: 3.8W (POE) or 3.6W (DC)
