FAQ
What cellular technologies does this Cisco router support?
The C1121X-8PLTEP-RF supports LTE Advanced as its primary cellular technology, with backward compatibility to HSPA+, DC-HSPA+, and UMTS networks. This multi-technology support ensures connectivity even in areas where LTE coverage is limited, automatically falling back to available 3G networks when necessary.
How many Ethernet ports are available on this router?
This router provides eight Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting local network devices, plus one additional RJ-45 broadband port specifically for wired internet connections. The eight main ports support standard Ethernet connections, while the broadband port accepts incoming internet from cable, DSL, or fiber modems as an alternative to cellular connectivity.
Does this router support Power over Ethernet?
Yes, the C1121X-8PLTEP-RF includes Power over Ethernet capability through a dedicated PoE RJ-45 port. This allows the router to deliver both data and electrical power to compatible devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, or VoIP phones using a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies at remote device locations.
What is the antenna configuration for this cellular router?
The router features two total antennas, both of which are external. These dual external antennas enhance cellular signal reception and transmission across the supported frequency bands. The external design allows for optimal antenna placement and orientation to maximize signal strength in challenging deployment environments.
Can this router be mounted in a standard network rack?
Yes, the C1121X-8PLTEP-RF is designed with a rack-mountable form factor for professional installation in standard 19-inch network cabinets and server racks. This mounting capability ensures secure, organized deployment in data closets, network rooms, or equipment cabinets alongside other networking hardware.
What does refurbished condition mean for this product?
Refurbished condition indicates this unit has been previously used, then professionally inspected, tested, and restored to full working order. The refurbishment process includes functional testing of all cellular and Ethernet capabilities, cosmetic evaluation, and certification to meet original performance specifications, providing reliable operation at a reduced cost compared to new equipment.
