User Manual
FAQ
What Wi-Fi standard does the Cisco Aironet 2702E support?
The Cisco Aironet 2702E operates on the IEEE 802.11ac wireless standard, which provides higher data rates, improved capacity, and better performance in environments with multiple connected devices compared to older standards like 802.11n. This standard supports dual-band operation on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies simultaneously.
Does this access point support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, the Cisco Aironet 2702E includes a PoE PD (Powered Device) port, meaning it can receive power through an Ethernet cable from a compatible PoE switch or injector. This eliminates the need for a separate power outlet at the installation location, simplifying deployment in ceiling-mounted or hard-to-reach areas.
How many Ethernet ports does the 2702E have?
This access point features two Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports. These ports support wired network connections at speeds up to 1 Gbit/s, with one typically used for uplink to the network switch and the other available for connecting additional wired devices or for redundancy purposes.
