temperature, fan conditions for cisco switch

[13jobsp90]

what is the recommended temperature ideally for a cisco switch placed in a data center or hubroom? How much is the required gap (in terms of U in rack)  between 2 switches mounted on a rack?

1 RU (empty) in between

Depends on the switch.

 - That depends on the switch model ; lookup the datasheet which usually contains those values.
