Description

The AIR-ANT2566D4M-DS is a dual-band, polarization-diverse directional patch array antenna from the Cisco Aironet antenna range. It suits indoor and outdoor directional coverage with Cisco Catalyst 91xx Series access points that use 4-DART dual-band antennas, and can be mounted on a wall, flat surface or mast.

It covers 2.4 to 2.5 GHz and 5.15 to 5.925 GHz, with a peak gain of 6 dBi on 2.4 GHz and 5 dBi on 5 GHz. Ports A and C are vertically polarized and ports B and D are horizontally polarized, with port-to-port isolation above 30 dB. It uses a 4-DART connector on a 3 ft cable and is IP-67 rated. As a Self-Identifying (SD) model, it includes circuitry so a connected Catalyst 91xx access point can identify the antenna automatically. It is a passive antenna with no power supply of its own.

It connects to the 4-DART port of an approved Cisco Catalyst access point and is supported only on Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers running IOS-XE 17.4.1 or later. It is not supported on AireOS controllers.

FAQs

Q: Which access points does this antenna work with?
A: It connects to the 4-DART port of an approved Cisco Catalyst access point that requires dual-band DART antennas, specifically the Catalyst 91xx Series.

Q: Which wireless controllers support it?
A: It is supported only on Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers running IOS-XE 17.4.1 or later. It is not supported on AireOS controllers.

Q: Does the antenna need its own power supply?
A: No. It is a passive antenna. The self-identification circuitry is read by the connected Catalyst 91xx access point.

Q: What does the Self-Identifying (SD) designation mean?
A: The antenna includes circuitry so that a connected Cisco Catalyst 91xx Series access point can identify it automatically.

Q: Can it be mounted outdoors and on a mast?
A: Yes. It is IP-67 rated for indoor and outdoor use and uses an articulating mount that fits flat surfaces and masts.
