AP cable requirement
Use a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect an AP directly to a WSS or indirectly through another device.
1000BASETX Gigabit Ethernet cable wiring
Use Cat-5 Enhanced (Cat-5E) or better cable. 1000BASE-TX uses all 8 wires in the cable. The wiring can be
straight-through or crossover. The port automatically configures its pin signals accordingly.
Note.
PoE is not supported on 1000BASE-TX links. All wires in the cable are used for
data.
