Clean Rooms (Healthcare)
Many hospitals and factories have requirements to wipe down or gently spray the environment with a chemical
(often diluted liquid that has cleaning / disinfectant properties). The Cisco AP 2800 and AP 3800 are designed
with a purposeābuild Wi-Fi chipset using Enterprise and industrial class components. This enables the AP
enclosure to have a Plenum rating and is vent-less, so the unit is ideal for these types of applications.
The plastic material used on the AP 2800 and AP 3800 series is Lexan 945. This material was tested for
clean room use with a Steris chemical, trademark name SPOR-KLENZ. See http://

The AP 2800 and 3800 are rated for installation in the Plenum area (UL-2043). Many customers prefer to
locate the AP so that nothing can be visible on the ceiling. In some cases this is preferred for aesthetic reasons,
so customers may install the AP above a drop ceiling. This also may be preferred in high theft areas such as
classrooms or in areas where policy dictates that nothing can be visible on the ceiling.
