Using a Backhaul Unit
If the installation location does not provide a place to connect to the internet (for example,
on an electricity pole), you need to use a backhaul unit.
There are two types of backhaul units:
•A backhaul unit that provides its own power
•A backhaul unit that uses power supplied by the WS-410
Voltage Max Power Output
48VDC 30W
24VDC 24W
NOTE: Two different WS410 product versions are available. One supports only PoE
48VDC output and the second one supports both 24 or 48VDC PoE output selectable
from the product’s management GUI.
NOTE: PoE can only be supported if the WS-410 is powered by AC voltage input.
NOTE: Use only shielded Cat5e cable rated for outdoor use. Chapter 7: Installation
Accessories on page 53 for details. For protection against risk of fire, electrical
hazard and to ensure the reliable operation of this equipment, the shields of the Cat5
cable must be properly terminated and bonded to the unit and to the protective earth
(PE) at the building entrance.
