Description

The Catalyst 9162I is an enterprise indoor Wi-Fi 6E access point from the Catalyst 9162 series, built for hybrid work environments and IoT use cases such as location tracking and wayfinding. It runs three 2x2 client-serving radios across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands, with the 6 GHz band giving more capacity and less interference.

The CW9162I-Z is the Reg Z regulatory domain variant. It provides up to 3.9 Gbps tri-radio aggregate frame rate and a single 100/1000/2500 Multigigabit Ethernet uplink. Power comes from 802.3at or 802.3bt PoE, or the DC 12V jack. A dedicated scanning radio supports real-time RF spectrum visibility and automatic RF optimisation, and an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy radio handles IoT services.

The access point can be managed on-premises through a Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller or from the cloud in Meraki mode, and it supports Cisco Catalyst Center, Cisco Spaces and Cisco ISE.

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

FAQs

Q: What does the Z mean in CW9162I-Z?
A: The -Z suffix is the Reg Z regulatory domain variant of the Catalyst 9162I. The hardware and features match the other regulatory variants, but the radio settings follow the Reg Z domain.

Q: How is the CW9162I-Z powered?
A: It can be powered by 802.3at or 802.3bt PoE, or from the DC 12V power jack. A PoE switch port that supports one of these standards is the simplest option.

Q: What can manage this access point?
A: It can be managed on-premises with a Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller, or from the cloud in Meraki mode. It also supports Cisco Catalyst Center, Cisco Spaces and Cisco ISE.

Q: What switch port speed do I need for the uplink?
A: The access point has a single 100/1000/2500 Multigigabit RJ-45 uplink. A Multigigabit switch port lets it use the full 2.5G speed, and it will also link at 1G or 100M.

Q: Does it support the 6 GHz band?
A: Yes. It is a tri-band Wi-Fi 6E access point with 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz radios. The 6 GHz radio supports channel widths up to 160 MHz.
