Description

This Aironet dual-band MIMO patch antenna covers both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz from a single wall-mount panel. It suits Cisco Catalyst 91xx access points that need directional coverage where the integrated AP antennas are not suitable, in indoor or outdoor deployments.

It uses a four-element MIMO design with 6 dBi gain in the 2.4 GHz band and 5 dBi in the 5 GHz band, with linear vertical polarisation. The 3-dB beamwidth is 105 degrees in azimuth and 65 degrees in elevation at 2.4 GHz, and 110 degrees and 55 degrees at 5 GHz. It connects through a 4-port DART connector on a 3 ft plenum-rated cable. This is the Self-Identifying version, with a built-in EEPROM that lets the access point read the antenna type and gain automatically. It differs from the RP-TNC variants in its connector type.

It is rated IP54 and operates from -40 to 70 C. It is a passive antenna and needs no power or PoE. Self-identification requires a Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller running IOS-XE 17.4.1 or later, and is not supported on AireOS controllers.

Enquire with XS Network Tech for new or used pricing and availability.

FAQs

Q: Does this antenna need a licence?
A: No licence is required for the antenna itself. Self-identification needs a Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller running IOS-XE 17.4.1 or later.

Q: Which access points does it work with?
A: It works with Cisco Catalyst 91xx Series access points that have dual-band 4-DART antenna ports.

Q: Does it work with AireOS wireless controllers?
A: The self-identification function is not supported on AireOS controllers. It is supported on Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers running IOS-XE 17.4.1 or later.

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

Q: How does it differ from the -R and -RS models?
A: This model uses a 4-port DART connector and is self-identifying. The -R and -RS siblings use RP-TNC connectors.
