FE Ports
The ENET0 and ENET1 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports attach the Aruba 70 to a
10Base-T/100Base-TX (twisted pair) LAN segment. Both ports support Power
over Ethernet (PoE). ENET0 also supports Serial over Ethernet (SoE) and
auto-sensing MDI/MDX.
The port pin-outs are shown in

Aruba AP 70 FE Port
The appropriate cable depends on the level of connectivity required of the FE port:
If the connecting device supports Serial and Power Over Ethernet (SPOE), use
an 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable with a male RJ-45
connector.
The Aruba 5000 (with Line Card LC-5000-24FE-2GE-SPOE), the Aruba 2400, and
the Aruba 800 support SPOE.
If the connecting device supports only Power Over Ethernet (POE, including
IEEE 802.3af POE as well as “inline” or “midspan” POE devices), use an 8- or
4-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable with male RJ-45
connectors.
If the connecting device does not support Serial or POE, use a 4- or
8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, FE cable with male RJ-45 connectors. The
ENET0 port detects MDI/MDX and automatically adjusts for straight-through
or crossover cables.
The maximum length for FE cables is 100 meters (325 feet).
