Brand: Cisco · SKU: AIR-ANT2568VG-NS · MPN: AIR-ANT2568VG-NS · Category: Networking
The Cisco AIR-ANT2568VG-NS is a high-performance, outdoor dual-band omnidirectional antenna designed for use with Cisco Aironet Outdoor Access Points. It operates in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands with gains of 6 dBi and 8 dBi respectively. A standout feature is its self-identifying circuitry, which includes an in-built EEPROM that allows compatible Cisco access points (APs) to automatically detect the antenna type and configure the appropriate gain settings within the wireless controller. This eliminates manual configuration errors and ensures optimal power levels. Built for durability in harsh conditions, the antenna is IP67 rated for water and dust ingress and features a robust wind rating of 100 mph operational and 136 mph survival.
