Product Features
Technical Overview
This access point leverages IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 technology to maximize throughput and efficiency in high-density deployments. The dual-band operation provides 2.4 GHz for broader coverage and backward compatibility, alongside 5 GHz for higher-speed, less congested channels. MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology uses multiple antennas to improve data rates and link reliability, while beamforming focuses wireless signals toward connected clients for stronger, more consistent performance.
The Ethernet interfaces support auto-negotiation across 5 Gigabit Ethernet, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and Fast Ethernet, ensuring compatibility with existing network infrastructure. PoE PD (Power over Ethernet Powered Device) functionality adheres to IEEE 802.3at/af standards, enabling deployment in locations without direct power outlets. The integrated management port facilitates out-of-band configuration and monitoring, and the USB port can be used for adding wireless sensors or other USB devices.

User Manual
FAQ
What wireless standard does this Cisco access point support?
This access point supports the IEEE 802.11ac standard, which provides high-speed Wi-Fi with improved efficiency and capacity compared to earlier standards like 802.11n. It operates on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, delivering aggregate speeds up to 5.20 Gbit/s for fast data transfer and reduced latency in busy networks.
Does this access point support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, it includes a PoE PD (Powered Device) port, meaning it can receive both power and data over a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a separate power outlet near the mounting location, making it ideal for ceiling or wall placements in offices, schools, or other indoor environments.
How many Ethernet ports are available, and what speeds do they support?
There are two RJ-45 Ethernet ports that support multiple speed tiers: 5 Gigabit Ethernet, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and Fast Ethernet. This flexibility ensures compatibility with various network switches and infrastructure, allowing for high-speed uplinks or connections to wired devices.
What is the purpose of the MIMO and beamforming technologies in this access point?
MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) uses multiple antennas to improve data throughput and link reliability by transmitting multiple data streams simultaneously. Beamforming focuses the wireless signal toward connected clients rather than broadcasting uniformly, enhancing signal strength and consistency for better performance in high-density areas.
Can this access point be mounted, and what are its physical dimensions?
Yes, it is designed for indoor ceiling or wall mounting. The dimensions are 8.68" wide, 9.90" deep, and 2.90" high (220.47 mm x 251.46 mm x 73.66 mm), with a weight of approximately 5.60 lb (2540.12 g). Its low-profile design allows for discreet installation in commercial settings while providing adequate airflow for cooling.
What management features are included with this access point?
It includes a dedicated management port for out-of-band configuration and monitoring, allowing network administrators to set up and control the device independently of the data network. This is useful for troubleshooting and maintenance. Additionally, it is compatible with Cisco wireless controllers for centralized management in larger deployments.
