Hey,

if you want to install a PoE access point on the ceiling, the prerequisite is an existing LAN cable. Does the cable end get a standard network plug that is then connected directly to the access point, or does it get a socket, and a short patch cable is used to connect the two sockets—the one on the cable and the one on the PoE device? Is it correct that with an existing PoE switch, only the LAN cable coming from the ceiling is needed, meaning no power adapter that would have to be installed somewhere in the ceiling structure?

Thanks!

I also placed the Keystone module inside the flush-mounted box that the electrician installed in the precast ceiling. I then connected a 20cm (8 inches) patch cable there, which is now hanging from the ceiling. I can push it back into the box up to the connector.
