Cisco Equipment & Microwave

The problem with microwaves comes with WLANs, as the microwave is using the same freq as channel 6 is (right around 2.43 GHz).

Hello All,

Is anyone aware of any limitations of switches in close proximity of microwave ovens?

At a school I visited there was a comms cab floor mounted and sat on top of it there was a microwave oven. (I am aware of the spill hazard) and have removed it.

However out of interest does anyone know of microwave interfering with switch's

Cheers

Take my comments with a rather large block of salt, as I am not an RF engineer. One would think not, and for the same reason that you can watch your popcorn pop in said microwave -- namely, the Faraday Cage. This surrounds the device and makes sure what happens in the microwave, stays in the microwave.

Again, this is a guess on my part. Someone who is more knowledgeable, please feel free to jump in.
