FAQ
What frequency bands does this Cisco antenna support?
This antenna supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, allowing it to work with dual-band wireless access points. This enables compatibility with a wide range of Wi-Fi standards and client devices, from older 2.4 GHz-only devices to modern 5 GHz-capable equipment, providing flexibility in network design and optimization.
What does omni-directional mean for this antenna?
Omni-directional means the antenna radiates RF signals uniformly in all horizontal directions, creating a circular coverage pattern. This design is ideal for general indoor areas where clients are scattered throughout the space, as it eliminates the need to point the antenna in a specific direction and ensures consistent signal strength from all angles.
Which Cisco access points is this antenna compatible with?
This antenna is compatible with Cisco Aironet series access points, specifically the 3600 and 3700 models. It is designed for direct mount installation on these access points, ensuring secure attachment and reliable performance without requiring additional adapters or mounting hardware.
Is this antenna suitable for outdoor use?
No, this antenna is designed for indoor use only. Its specifications list indoor application/usage, and it is optimized for environments like offices, retail spaces, and other commercial buildings where weather protection is not required. For outdoor deployments, you would need an antenna specifically rated for outdoor conditions.
What does direct mount form factor mean?
Direct mount means the antenna attaches directly to compatible Cisco access points without needing separate mounting brackets or hardware. This simplifies installation by reducing components and steps, allowing for quicker deployment and a cleaner, more integrated look on the access point itself.
What is the condition of this product?
This product is refurbished, meaning it has been previously used but has been tested, cleaned, and verified to function properly. Refurbished antennas offer a cost-effective alternative to new units while providing reliable performance, making them suitable for budget-conscious network upgrades or expansions.
