Three-Pack Ceiling-Mount Access Points

This bundle contains three Cisco Business 240AC access points designed for ceiling installation in commercial environments. Each unit supports IEEE 802.11ac Wave 1 and 2 with MU-MIMO technology for multi-user throughput. The access points operate on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands with internal omnidirectional antennas. They are suited for businesses deploying managed wireless coverage across multiple rooms or floors.

Passive Cooling and PoE Power

The access points have no moving parts and rely on passive thermal dissipation within the specified operating range of 0°C to 50°C. Each unit draws power through IEEE 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet on either of the two Gigabit RJ-45 ports. The second Ethernet port allows wired uplinks or daisy-chaining without a separate power supply. Acoustic output is negligible in normal office conditions.

Included Mounting Hardware Only

The three-pack ships with ceiling-mount brackets and hardware for each access point. No separate controller appliance or licence keys are bundled; management is handled through the Cisco Business mobile app or web dashboard. The RJ-45 console port and USB 2.0 port are present but marked non-functional in the specifications. Buyers needing PoE injectors or additional cabling must source those separately.

Features802.11ac Wave 1 and 2 capabilities with MU-MIMO technology
The IEEE 802.11ac standard delivers improved experience in typical environments, and more predictable performance for advanced applications such as 4K or 8K video, high-density high-definition collaboration apps, all-wireless offices, and Internet of Things (IoT). Supporting four spatial streams, MU-MIMO enables access points to split spatial streams between client devices, to maximize throughput.

Questions about this item

How is the 3-CBW240AC-B ceiling-mounted and which PoE standard must the switch provide?

Mount the unit to a ceiling tile or hard surface using the included bracket, then connect one of the two Gigabit RJ-45 ports to a switch that supplies IEEE 802.3af/at PoE; the access point draws power solely from that link.

What component will need replacement first in a 24/7 deployment?

The internal omnidirectional antennas and sealed radio modules have no user-serviceable parts; only the status LED or a failed PoE negotiation would indicate a hardware fault requiring full unit replacement.

At what temperature does the access point hit its thermal limit during sustained load?

The operating range tops out at 50°C (122°F); continuous operation above that temperature will trigger thermal shutdown before any other performance limit is reached.
