Description

The Aironet AIR-ANT2524V4C-RS is a four-element MIMO, dual-band omnidirectional antenna for indoor ceiling mounting. It suits sites where an external-antenna Cisco access point needs even coverage in all directions, particularly Catalyst 91xx access points managed by a Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller.

The antenna covers 2400-2484 MHz and 5150-5850 MHz, with a peak gain of 2 dBi on 2.4 GHz and 4 dBi on 5 GHz. Four RP-TNC pigtail cables, each 3 ft (91.4 cm) long, plenum rated and UV stable, connect it to the access point. Polarisation is linear and VSWR is 2:1 or less in both bands. The low-profile housing measures 18.4 x 18.4 x 2.5 cm, weighs 0.59 kg and fits suspended ceiling tiles from 1/2 to 1 in thick.

The RS variant adds self-identifying circuitry, so a compatible access point reads the antenna type and gain automatically and reports them to the controller. Three cables are labelled orange and one is labelled purple. The purple cable must connect to Port A on the access point. Self-identification is supported on Catalyst 9800 Series controllers running IOS-XE 17.4.1 or later, and is not supported on AireOS controllers.

FAQs

Q: What does the RS in this part number mean?
A: RS indicates self-identifying circuitry. The access point reads the antenna type and gain from a built-in EEPROM and reports them to the wireless controller automatically.

Q: Which controllers support the self-identifying feature?
A: It is supported on Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers running IOS-XE 17.4.1 or later, with Catalyst 91xx Series access points. It is not supported on AireOS controllers.

Q: Which port does the purple cable connect to?
A: The purple-labelled cable must connect to Port A on the access point, which is marked with purple text around the connector. The three orange-labelled cables connect to the remaining antenna ports.

Q: Does the antenna need power or a licence?
A: No. It is a passive antenna, so it needs no power supply and no licence.

Q: Which access points can it be used with?
A: It works with Cisco Aironet radio devices that have dual-band 2.4/5 GHz RP-TNC antenna ports, and is intended for indoor ceiling-mounted installations.
