Re: WBC502 - PoE port

I recently purchased the WBC502 Wireless Airbridge. I am wondering what the cable distance can be for the ethernet cable connecting to the PoE port. I do not have a power outlet close to the location of the Airbridge device. I would like to place the power unit inside my house, close to a power outlet but I am not sure if there is a restriction on how long the ethernet cable can be. I realize that 100 Meters, or 330 feet is the typical restriction on ethernet cables and need verification that this is true for PoE also.
Thanks!

Total length from the router/switch to the AirBridge device should not exceed the max length. Unless I'm very wrong, the (non-IEEE PoE standard) power injector can be placed anywhere along these 100 meters, e.g. near to the router/switch port.
Douglas @dcheung please confirm.

Re: WBC502 - PoE port
Yes, the distance for the switch and WBC502 needs to be below 100meter. And DO NOT use a PoE switch to power WBC502. Use the included power supply (which is a power injector).
