Cisco CW-ANT-T-D4-N | 8-Port Tri-Band Directional Antenna, 8 dBi, Wi-Fi 7

Q: Which access points is the CW-ANT-T-D4-N compatible with?
A: This antenna is designed for Wi-Fi 7 outdoor access points that support tri-band operation with 8-port connectivity. It is compatible with Cisco wireless access points that feature 8x N-Type antenna connectors and support 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz frequency bands.

Q: What is Self-Identifying Antenna (SIA) technology?
A: SIA technology uses an integrated EEPROM that allows the access point to automatically recognize and configure the antenna parameters. This enables streamlined configuration and optimized performance without manual antenna settings, particularly valuable in challenging outdoor environments.

Q: Can this antenna be used for indoor deployments?
A: Yes, despite being engineered primarily for outdoor use, the CW-ANT-T-D4-N is IP67-rated and suitable for both indoor and outdoor deployments. Its ruggedized design and wide operating temperature range make it ideal for high-density environments in various settings.

Q: What is the coverage pattern of this directional antenna?
A: The CW-ANT-T-D4-N provides directional coverage optimized for high-density deployments. It features polarization diversity through its 8-port MIMO architecture with cross-polarized antenna elements, delivering consistent 8 dBi gain across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands.

Q: What mounting options are available for this antenna?
A: The antenna includes an articulating bracket (CW-MNT-ART2-00) that provides adjustment flexibility of ±60° in both azimuth and elevation planes. This integrated articulating mount enables precise positioning for optimal coverage in outdoor and high-density environments.
