Power Sources
The IW9167I Access Point is supported on these power sources:
• DC power: 24 to 48 VDC
• Power over Ethernet (PoE): 802.3at (PoE+), 802.3bt (PoE++), Cisco Universal PoE (Cisco UPOE). For
more information, see Powering the Access Point, on page 34.
Connect the unit only to DC power source that complies with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
requirements in IEC 60950 based safety standards. Statement 1033
Warning
Power Adapters
The IW9167I Access Point supports the following DC power adapters::
• PID: IW-PWRADPT-MFIT4P=: Operating: -40°C to +65°C, 60W.

Power Sources

Power Injectors
The IW9167I Access Point supports the following power injectors:
• IW-PWRINJ-60RGDMG=: Operating: -40°C to +70°C. Power derating of 60W at 70°C, and 65W at
65°C. Supports 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G rates.
• AIR-PWRINJ-60RGD1=: Operation: -40°C to +50°C, 60W. Supports 10M/100M/1G rates.
• AIR-PWRINJ-60RGD2=: Operation: -40°C to +50°C, 60W. Supports 10M/100M/1G rates.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 24 AWG or larger telecommunications line cord. Statement 1023
Warning
When the AP is installed outdoors or in a wet or damp location, the AC branch circuit powering the AP should
be provided with ground fault protection (GFCI), as required by Article 210 of the National Electrical Code
(NEC).
Caution
Ethernet (PoE) Ports
The AP supports an Ethernet uplink port (also for PoE-IN). The Ethernet uplink port on the AP uses an RJ-45
connector (with weatherproofing) to link the AP to the 100BASE-T, 1000BASE-T, 2.5G BASE-T, or 5G
BASE-T network. The Ethernet cable is used to send and receive Ethernet data and optionally supply inline
power from the power injector or a suitably powered switch port.
The AP senses the Ethernet and power signals, and automatically switch internal circuitry to match the cable
connections.
Tip
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 24 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord. Statement 1023
Danger
The Ethernet cable must be a shielded, outdoor rated, Category 5e (CAT 5e) or better cable. Category 6A
(CAT 6A) cable is needed for 5G rate. The AP senses the Ethernet and power signals and automatically
switches internal circuitry to match the cable connections.
SFP Option
Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008
Warning
The factory-orderable fiber option provides a fiber input and output capability. Fiber data is transmitted and
received over a single or dual-strand fiber cable, depending on the SFP, which is connected to the access point
using these SFP modules:

SFP modules are not hot-swappable. When you plug and unplug the SFP module, a manual reload of the AP
is required.
Note
Client data is passed to the network controller through the fiber connection via a fiber-capable switch or
controller. Configuration information can be found in the controller configuration guide of the switch or
controller you are using.
Antennas and Radios
The following sections provide detailed information about the AP's antennas and radios.
Internal Antennas and GNSS Receiver
The IW9167I access point has the following internal antennas:
• Four internal dual-band antennas with a dedicated 2.4 GHz radio and a 5 GHz radio
• Four internal antennas with a dedicated 6 GHz radio
• One internal single-band antenna with a dedicated 2.4 GHz IoT radio
• Two tri-band antennas with a dedicated 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz Aux radio
The IW9167I is equipped with a standard-precision GNSS receiver for geolocation, with L1/G1/E1/B1
frequencies supported: 1.559 – 1.610 GHz. For best GNSS performance, the AP should be mounted outdoors
with a clear view of the sky. Location accuracy may be affected if the antenna’s view is obstructed. The
following figure shows the GNSS windows on the bottom of the access point.
