Questions about this item

How much power does the AP-515 draw when running all day over its PoE PD port?

The AP-515 is powered through its PoE PD port and uses a single 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet link for both data and power, so no separate power supply is needed.

What cabling and PoE equipment must I already have for the AP-515 to operate?

You need a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet cable run to a PoE+ switch or injector that can feed the AP-515 through its RJ-45 PD port.

Will the AP-515 work alongside my existing 802.11ac access points on the same network?

Yes, the AP-515 supports 802.11ax on 2.40 GHz and 5 GHz bands and will interoperate with older Wi-Fi devices on the same SSID.
