User Manual
FAQ
What wireless standard does this Cisco access point use?
This access point uses the IEEE 802.11ac wireless standard, which provides faster data rates and improved network efficiency compared to older standards like 802.11n. It supports dual-band operation on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, with a maximum wireless transmission speed of 867 Mbps.
Does this access point support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, it includes a PoE PD (Powered Device) port, meaning it can receive power over an Ethernet cable from a compatible PoE switch or injector. This allows for installation in locations without direct access to an AC power outlet, simplifying deployment and reducing cabling needs.
How many Ethernet ports are available on this access point?
There are two network (RJ-45) ports. These ports support Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet technologies, providing flexible wired connectivity options for uplinks or additional devices. One port is designated for management, facilitating network configuration.
What is the form factor and mounting option for this device?
The access point is designed for ceiling mounting, making it ideal for installation in office ceilings, retail spaces, or educational facilities. Its compact dimensions of 8.69 inches wide by 8.69 inches deep by 1.99 inches high allow it to fit discreetly into standard ceiling tiles or mounted enclosures.
What are MIMO and beamforming, and how do they benefit wireless performance?
MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) uses multiple antennas to increase data throughput and connection reliability by transmitting multiple data streams simultaneously. Beamforming focuses the wireless signal toward connected devices rather than broadcasting uniformly, resulting in stronger, more consistent coverage and better performance at range.
Is this access point new or refurbished?
This product is refurbished, meaning it has been professionally inspected, tested, and restored to full working condition. Refurbished units offer a cost-effective way to deploy Cisco's reliable wireless technology while maintaining performance standards, often with significant savings compared to new equipment.
