IDF Closets (telecommunications or other electrical equipment)

When installing WAPs near other electrical or telecommunications equipment,
keep all wiring and metal away from the antennas, and avoid placing the antennas
near electrical lines. Do not route electrical wiring or Ethernet in the near field 38
cm (15 in.) of the antenna, and try not to install the WAP in an electrical closet.
Local fire and safety regulations can require you to use a plenum-rated cable if
your remote antenna cables from an electrical closet. Remember that the best
place for the WAP is as close to its users.
