Technical Specifications of Power Supply

The RG-RAP72-Wall adopts PoE input and supports IEEE 802.3af/802.3at compliant PoE power supply (The PoE OUT function of LAN4 port is disabled when IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE power supply is used.)
When PoE is used, ensure that the power sourcing equipment (PSE) is at least IEEE 802.3af capable. For optimal device performance, it is recommended that a PSE that complies with the IEEE 802.3at standard should be used.

Alternatively, you are advised to use a PoE adapter certified by Ruijie.

Cooling
The RG-RAP72-Wall adopts the fanless design. Therefore, when installing the AP, ensure that there is sufficient clearance around the AP for heat dissipation.

Preparing for Installation

Safety Guidelines

Note

To avoid personal injury and equipment damage, carefully read the safety precautions before you install the access point.
The following safety precautions may not cover all possible hazardous situations.

General Precautions

Do not expose the access point to high temperature, dusts, or harmful gases. Do not install the AP in an inflammable or explosive environment. Keep the AP away from EMI sources such as large radar stations, radio stations, and substations. Do not subject the AP to unstable voltage, vibration, and noise.
Keep the access point at least 500 (0.31 miles) meters away from the ocean and do not face it towards the sea breeze.

The installation site should be free from water flooding, seepage, dripping, or condensation. The installation site should be selected according to network planning and communications equipment features, and considerations such as climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electrical power, and transportation.
Ensure that the access point and power distribution system are properly grounded.

Caution
Follow the procedures in the user manual to install and remove the access point.

Handling Safety

Do not move the access point frequently.
Cut off all the power supplies and unplug all power cords before moving or handling the access point.

Electricity Safety

Warning

Improper or incorrect electric operations may cause a fire, electric shock, and other accidents, and lead to severe and fatal personal injury and equipment damage.

Direct or indirect contact with high voltage or mains power supply via wet objects may cause fatal dangers.
Always observe the local regulations and standards. Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to operate the equipment.
Check whether there are potential risks in the work area. For example, check whether the power supply is grounded, whether the grounding is reliable, and whether the ground is wet.

Learn about the position of the indoor emergency power switch before installation. Cut off the power switch in case of accidents.
Check the access point carefully before shutting down the power supply.
Keep the access point far away from the grounding facility and lightning protection facility of the power equipment.

Keep the access point far away from radio stations, radar stations, high-frequency high-current devices, and microwave ovens.

Site Requirements
The access point must be installed and used indoors. For normal operation and prolonged service life of the access point, the installation site must meet the following requirements.

Bearing
Evaluate the weight of the access point and its accessories, and ensure that the installation site (wall) can bear the weight.

Ventilation
The access point adopts natural cooling. Reserve a sufficient clearance around the access point to ensure proper ventilation.

Temperature and Humidity
To ensure the normal operation and prolonged service life of the access point, maintain an appropriate temperature and humidity. Working in an environment with too high or too low temperature and humidity for a long period may damage the access point.

When exposed to high relative humidity, insulating materials may exhibit poor insulation capabilities, increasing the risk of electrical leakage.

When exposed to low relative humidity, the insulating strip may dry out and shrink, increasing the risk of static electricity generation.
In a dry environment, static electricity is prone to occur and damage the internal circuits of the access point.
High temperature environments can be detrimental to the access point, leading to reduced performance and a shorter service life. Prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures can expedite the access point’s aging process.

Cleanliness
Dust poses a major threat to the device. The indoor dust can cause electrostatic adhesion when falling on the device, causing poor contact of the metallic joint. Such electrostatic adhesion occurs more easily when the indoor relative humidity is low, not only affecting the service life of the device, but also causing communication failure easily. The following table lists the requirements on the dust content and diameter in the equipment room.

Table 2-1 Dust and Particles

Particle Size	Unit	Content
≥ 0.5 μm	Particles/m³	≤ 1.4 x 10⁷
≥ 1 μm	Particles/m³	≤ 7 x 10⁵

≥ 3 μm	Particles/m³	≤ 2.4 x 10⁵
≥ 5 μm	Particles/m3	≤ 1.3 x 105

Apart from dust, the salt, acid, and sulfide in the air of the equipment room must meet strict requirement. These harmful substances will accelerate metal corrosion and component aging. The equipment room should be protected from harmful gases (such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide, ammonia, and chlorine). The following table lists the limits of harmful gases in the equipment room.

Table 2-2 Hazardous Gases

Gas	Average (mg/m³)	Maximum (mg/m³)
Sulfur dioxide (SO2)	0.2	1.5
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S)	0.006	0.03
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)	0.04	0.15
Ammonia gas (NH3)	0.05	0.15
Chlorine gas (CI2)	0.01	0.3

Note
The average value is measured over one week. The maximum value is the upper limit of the harmful gas measured in one week for up to 30 minutes every day.

Grounding
A proper grounding system is the basis for stable and reliable running and is indispensable for preventing lightning strikes and interference. Carefully check the grounding conditions at the installation site according to the grounding specifications and complete grounding properly based on the actual situation.

Electromagnetic Interference

Keep the access point far away from the grounding system or the lightning protection grounding system and f the power facility.
Keep the access point far away from radio stations, radar stations, high-frequency high-current devices, and microwave ovens.

Recommended Cabling

When installing the RG-RAP72-Wall, route the cables through the cable management brackets. Top cabling or bottom cabling is adopted according to the actual situation in the equipment room. All conversion connectors should be placed at the bottom of the rack instead of outside the rack that is easily accessible. Power cords are routed beside the cabinet, and top cabling or bottom cabling is adopted according to the actual situation in the equipment room, such as the locations of the DC power distribution box, AC power socket, or surge protection box.

Requirements for the Minimum Bend Radius of an Ethernet Cable

The bend radius of a fixed power cord, Ethernet cable, or flat cable should be over five times greater than their respective external diameter. The bend radius of these cables that are often bent or plugged should be over seven times greater than their respective external diameter.
The bend radius of a fixed common coaxial cable should be over seven times greater than its external diameter. The bend radius of the common coaxial cable that is often bent or plugged should be over 10 times greater than its external diameter.
The bend radius of a fixed high-speed cable (such as SFP+ cable) should be over five times greater than its external diameter. The bend radius of the fixed high-speed cable that is often bent or plugged should be over 10 times greater than its external diameter.

Precautions for Bundling Cables

Before cables are bundled, mark labels and stick the labels to cables wherever appropriate.
Cables should be neatly and properly bundled in the rack without twisting or bending, as shown in Figure 7- 3.

Figure 7-3 Bundling Cables (1)

Cables of different types (such as power cords, signal cables, and ground cables) should be separated in cabling and bundling. Mixed bundling is prohibited. When they are close to each other, you are advised to adopt crossover cabling. In the case of parallel cabling, maintain a minimum distance of 30 mm (1.18 in.) between power cords and signal cables.
The cable management brackets and cabling troughs inside and outside the rack should be smooth without sharp corners.
The metal hole traversed by cables should have a smooth and fully rounding surface or an insulated lining.
Use cable ties to bundle up cables properly. Please do not connect two or more cable ties to bundle up cables.
After bundling up cables with cable ties, cut off the remaining part. The cut should be smooth and trim, without sharp corners, as shown in Figure 7-4.

Figure 7-4 Bundling Cables (2)

When cables need to be bent, bundle them up but do not tie them where the cables will be bent, as shown in Figure 7-5.

Figure 7-5 Bundling Cables (3)

Cables not to be assembled or remaining parts of cables should be folded and placed in a proper position of the rack or cable trough. The proper position refers to a position that does not affect device running or damage the device or cable.
Do not bind 220V or 48V power cords to the guide rails of moving parts.
The power cords connecting moving parts such as door grounding cables should be reserved with a margin after being assembled to avoid suffering tension or stress. When the moving part is installed, the remaining cable part should not touch heat sources, sharp corners, or sharp edges. If heat sources cannot be avoided, high-temperature cables should be used.
When screw threads are used to fasten cable terminals, the anchor or screw must be tightly fastened, as shown in Figure 7-6.

Figure 7-6 Cable Fastening
