Installing the AP in a Plenum

In an office building, plenum is the space between the structural ceiling and the tile ceiling that is provided to help air
circulate. Many companies also use the plenum to house communication equipment and cables. These products and
cables must comply with certain safety requirements, such as Underwriter Labs (UL) Standard 2043: "Standard for Fire
Test for Heat and Visible Smoke Release for Discrete Products and Their Accessories Installed in Air-Handling Spaces".
The AP-700 has been certified under UL Standard 2043 and can be installed in the plenum.
When installed in a plenum, the AP must use Active Ethernet.
