Ethernet Cable Recommendation
While the AP 1600/2600 and the AP 3600 work well with CAT‐5e for new cable installations, Cisco recommends that customers use CAT6a because CAT6a cable is required by the 10GE standard.
Antenna Cable Recommendation
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.
Note: When drilling holes for cable, allow for the size of connector drill bit, which is typically 5/8”. (See Figure 31.)
