User Manual
FAQ
What Wi-Fi standard does this access point support?
This Cisco Catalyst 9130AX access point supports the 802.11ax standard, also known as Wi-Fi 6. This latest generation of Wi-Fi technology offers higher data rates, improved capacity, and better performance in environments with many connected devices compared to previous standards like 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5). It operates on dual bands (2.40 GHz and 5 GHz) to provide flexible and efficient wireless connectivity for business networks.
Does this access point support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, the Catalyst 9130AX includes a PoE PD (Power over Ethernet Powered Device) port. This allows the access point to receive both data and electrical power over a single Ethernet cable from a compatible PoE switch or injector. PoE support simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a separate power outlet near the mounting location, reducing cabling complexity and enabling more flexible placement in ceilings or walls.
