Installations In Idf Closets (Telecommunications Or Other Electrical Equipment) - Cisco Aironet 1850 Series Deployment Manual

Revised: January 25, 2017,
Installations in IDF Closets (Telecommunications or Other
Electrical Equipment)
When installing APs near electrical or telecommunications equipment, keep all wiring and metal away from the antennas and avoid
placing the antennas near electrical lines. Do not route wiring electrical or Ethernet in the near field (6-15 inches) from the antenna.
Try to refrain from installing the AP in the electrical closet, because the best place for the AP is as close to users as possible/practical.
If you have remote antenna cables from such a closet, you may be required to use Plenum rated cable (see local fire/safety regulations
for more on this).
