Dual-Band Dipole Antenna for Cisco Aironet APs

This dual-band dipole antenna operates across the 2400 to 2500 MHz and 5150 to 5850 MHz frequency ranges. It provides 2 dBi peak gain at 2.4 GHz and 4 dBi peak gain at 5 GHz. The unit is designed for Cisco Aironet access points with dual-band antenna ports.

RP-TNC Connector and 50 Ohm Impedance

The antenna connects via an RP-TNC interface and presents a nominal 50 Ohm input impedance. VSWR is specified as less than 2:1 across the supported bands. It requires an access point that supports simultaneous dual-band operation and has correctly labelled dual-band antenna ports.

2 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 4 dBi at 5 GHz

The peak gain figures of 2 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 4 dBi at 5 GHz determine the coverage improvement over integrated antennas. Buyers needing higher gain for long-range or high-density deployments should verify these values meet their link budget requirements.

Questions about this item

Which gain figures should I expect for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands?

The antenna provides 2 dBi peak gain at 2.4 GHz and 4 dBi peak gain at 5 GHz, so choose based on the band where you need stronger signal.

What do the 2 dBi and 4 dBi gain values mean once the antenna is mounted on an access point?

They indicate how much the antenna focuses energy compared with a reference dipole; 2 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 4 dBi at 5 GHz give modest directional improvement for indoor coverage.

What connector standard does the RP-TNC interface use and what frequency ranges does it cover?

The RP-TNC connector mates with dual-band Cisco Aironet APs and passes both the 2400 to 2500 MHz and 5150 to 5850 MHz ranges.
