"To AP" Specifications
The RJ-45 connector labeled "To AP" attaches to the Aruba 2E FE port either
directly (if the AP is physically available) or indirectly (if the AP is already
deployed).
When connecting indirectly, use a straight-through FE coupler to attach the "To
AP" connector to the FE cable leading directly to the AP's FE port with no
intervening hubs, routers, or other network equipment. The cable must be
8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable with a maximum length
of 100 meters (325 feet).
The Aruba 2E and serial breakout adapter are plenum rated. When is installed in
an air-handling space, as described in NEC (2002) Article 300.22(C), any
connecting FE cable should be suitable under NEC Article 800.50 and marked
accordingly for use in plenums and air-handling spaces with regard to smoke
propagation, such as CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP or CMP.
Install cables in accordance with all applicable local regulations and practices.
"To Network" Specifications
The RJ-45 connector labeled "To Network" attaches to an FE LAN segment. This
connection is optional unless IEEE 802.11af Power Over Ethernet (POE) is used to
power the AP during manual provisioning.
A straight-through FE coupler may be used to attach the "To Network" connector
to a LAN FE cable. The appropriate cable depends on the level of connectivity
required of the FE port:
If the connecting device supports IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (POE),
use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable with male
RJ-45 connectors.
The Aruba 5000 (with Line Card LC-5000-24FE-2GE-SPOE), the Aruba 2400,
and the Aruba 800 support SPOE.
Otherwise, use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, FE cable with male
RJ-45 connectors. The port detects MDI/MDX and automatically adjusts for
straight-through or crossover cables.
