Note
Use shielded cable for all infrastructure connections associated with APs, SMs, and
CMMs. The environment that these modules operate in often has significant unknown
or varying RF energy. Operator experience consistently indicates that the additional
cost of shielded cables is more than compensated by predictable operation and
reduced costs for troubleshooting and support.
