Ethernet Cable Recommendation
While the AP 1600/2600 and 3600 will work fine with CAT-5e for new cable installations, it is
recommended that customers use CAT6a as this is the cabling required by the 10GE standard.
Antenna Cable Recommendation
Whenever practical/possible, please keep antenna cable runs as short as possible. Cisco offers low loss
(LL) and ultralow loss (ULL) cables, which have the same characteristics as Times Microwave LMR-400
and LMR-600.
Cisco cables carry the part number AIR-CAB (Aironet Cable) and then a length. For example, a 20 Ft
length of LL cable with RP-TNC connector is Cisco AIR-CAB-020LL-R. These heavy black cables are
not Plenum rated and are primarily for outdoor use or manufacturing areas.
