Description

The Cisco Aironet AIR-ANT2566P4W-RS is a dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz four-element MIMO patch antenna for wall-mounted directional coverage. It suits indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi deployments where an Aironet access point with external RP-TNC antenna ports needs four dual-band antennas.

The antenna delivers 6 dBi of gain in both bands, covering 2400 to 2484 MHz and 5150 to 5850 MHz with linear vertical polarisation. Beamwidth is 105 degrees azimuth and 65 degrees elevation at 2.4 GHz, and 110 degrees azimuth and 55 degrees elevation at 5 GHz. Four RP-TNC connectors terminate 3 ft plenum-rated cables. The -RS model adds self-identifying circuitry so the access point can detect the antenna. The enclosure is rated IP54 and operates from -40 to 70 C. As a passive antenna it needs no power supply or PoE, and no licence is required.

It works with any Cisco Aironet access point that requires four dual-band antennas. The self-identifying model is supported on Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers running IOS-XE 17.4.1 or later, and is not supported on Cisco AireOS Wireless Controllers.
