Cisco Catalyst 2.4 GHz and 5/6 GHz Dual-Band Polarization-Diverse Directional Patch Antenna (C-ANT9103=)
Communications, Services, and Additional Information
Connecting the Antenna to the Access Point
The antenna has an 8-port DART plug which is connected to the octal DART port on the access point.
The C-ANT9103= includes circuitry to enable self-identification of the antenna by the Cisco Catalyst series C9130AX-E
access points. The C-ANT9103= antenna has a built-in EEPROM that can be read by the AP to automatically configure
the antenna type, gain, and beamwidth in the wireless controller.
Recommended Cable
This antenna comes with a 2.5-ft long, bundled cable.
Painting the Antenna
Painting the antenna and the bracket does not affect its performance if you use standard exterior-grade, oil-based, or
latex paint. Do not use metallic or metallic-flake paints, which will degrade antenna performance.
Note Before painting the antenna, cover the pressure-release vent on the rear, lower-left of the antenna with
masking tape to prevent clogging. Ensure that you remove the tape afterwards.
We recommend that you use Krylon Fusion for Plastic or Rust-Oleum for Plastic (which might require a primer coat). For
best results, follow the surface preparation suggestions from the paint manufacturer.
