Cisco Aironet Four-Port Dual-Band 
Polarization-Diverse Antenna 
(AIR-ANT2513P4M-N)

First Published: July 2014

Last Updated: December 12, 2014

This document describes the AIR-ANT2513P4M-N antenna and provides electrical specifications and 
mounting instructions. The antenna is a four-port polarization-diverse patch array that operates over the 
2.4-GHz and 5-GHz Wi-Fi bands. It ships with an articulating mount for use on flat surfaces and masts 
and is adjustable in both the horizontal and vertical planes. The radome is paintable using commonly 
available non-conductive spray paints, such as Krylon or Rust-Oleum. The antenna is designed for use 
in indoor and outdoor environments with Cisco Aironet 3702P and 1570 series access points.
