Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] How many drops 802.11ac phase 2

[Dan Brisson]

I may be crazy but what if the 2nd cable isn't only about adding another gig of bandwidth, but also that it provides a second source of power.  Right now 802.3at is good for wave 1, at least with Cisco, but do we know what the power budget for wave 2 is? Not having to forklift 802.3at switching/mid-spans is a big deal, I think. -dan Dan Brisson Network Engineer University of Vermont (Ph) 802.656.8111 dbris...@uvm.edu On 2/7/14, 10:08 PM, Jason Cook wrote: We have also always run 2 for AP’s and everything else, it’s always a pair(or 4, 6, 8etc) whether for phone, computer, projects, ip camera, bms ,wireless etc. We’ve investigated singles a few time, but barely  a 20% drop in price so we have continued with 2. Each building has  a standard, so we remain with that, if the building is Cat 6, then the new duals are 6 if it’s 6a then we run that. New buildings/reno’s are all 6a. Often enough we have found the extra port gets used, particularly for lower ports, but even in roof space for ip camera’s and projects for example and vice versa.   I generally agree at the moment though that it’s unlikely we’ll see any major requirement for more than 1Gbps in the near future…. Can we actually run 160 channel width in high density? 802.11ad might be a different story, but that’s a while away and would require re-design and new cabling anyway.                 -- Jason Cook The University of Adelaide, AUSTRALIA 5005 Ph    : +61 8 8313 4800 e-mail: jason.c...@adelaide.edu.au<mailto:jason.c...@adelaide.edu.au>   From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Mike Albano Sent: Saturday, 8 February 2014 4:31 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] How many drops 802.11ac phase 2   We always run 2 cables per drop location (wireless or otherwise).

Currently we are just doing a one for one swap when replacing an older a/b/g AP’s with 802.11ac phase 1 AP’s When you have new construction, do you plan on running 2 drops so when phase 2 come into play you will be all set for it?     Brian J David Network Systems Boston College     **********Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
