Figure B-3 Aruba SPOE Adapter
The adapter requires an 8-conductor Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable with RJ-45
male connectors. The cable must connect the SPOE adapter to an FE+SPOE port on the
Aruba WLAN Switch, with no intervening hubs, routers, or other network equipment.
The maximum length for FE cables is 100 meters (325 feet).
The Aruba 50 and SPOE adapter are plenum rated. When is installed in an air-handling space,
as described in NEC (2002) Article 300.22(C), the 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.
