Port Specifications

FE Port

The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) port is located on the right-hand side of the Aruba
AP 60/61 and has an RJ-45 female connector. The port pin-outs are shown in

IGURE
The appropriate cable depends on the level of connectivity required of the FE port:
If the connecting device supports Serial and Power Over Ethernet (SPOE), use
an 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP , straight-through FE cable with a male RJ-45
connector.
The Aruba 5000 (with Line Card LC-5000-24FE-2GE-SPOE), the Aruba 2400,
and the Aruba 800 support SPOE.
If the connecting device supports only Power Over Ethernet (POE, including
IEEE 802.3af POE as well as "inline" or "midspan" POE devices), use an 8- or
4-conductor, Category 5 UTP , straight-through FE cable with male RJ-45 con-
nectors.
If the connecting device does not support Serial or POE, use a 4- or 8-conduc-
tor, Category 5 UTP , FE cable with male RJ-45 connectors. The port detects
MDI/MDX and automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables.
The maximum length for FE cables is 100 meters (325 feet).
When the Aruba AP 60/61 is installed in an air-handling space, as described in
NEC (2002) Article 300.22 (C), POE is required. Also, any FE cable installed in
such spaces 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 .
