Connecting Required Cables
The Aruba 70 Access Points with or without external antennas are intended only for
installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE 802.3.af. All interconnected equipment
must be contained within the same building, including the interconnected equipment's
associated LAN connections.

Selecting an FE Cable
The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) port is used to connect the AP to a 10Base-T/100Base-TX
(twisted-pair) Ethernet LAN segment. The appropriate FE cable depends on the features
required of the FE port:

SPOE
When connecting the AP to a device that supports Serial and Power Over Ethernet
(SPOE), use an 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable.

The Aruba 5000 (with Line Card LC-5000-24FE-2GE-SPOE), the Aruba 2400, and the
Aruba 800 support SPOE.
Aruba 800 support SPOE.

POE
If the connecting device supports only Power Over Ethernet (POE), use a 4- or
8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable.

Network Only
If the connecting device does not support POE, use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP,
FE cable. 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 70 is installed in an air-handling space, such as above suspended ceilings, as
described in National Electrical Code (2002) Article 300.22(C), and Canadian Electrical Code,
Sections 2-128, 12-010(3) and 12-100, Part 1, CSA C22.1, 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.

Use the built-in antenna or use Aruba AP-ANT-1. For all other antennas, make sure the
antenna cable is UL listed and suitable for use in plenums and air-handling spaces, such as
CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP, or CMP, and mount the antenna outside of the air-handling space.
