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

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

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.
