Cisco 2.4/5/6 GHz Tri-Band Omnidirectional Antenna (IW-ANT-OMH-2567-N)

This chapter contains the following sections:

Overview

The Cisco 2.4/5/6 GHz Tri-Band Omnidirectional Antenna (IW-ANT-OMH-2567-N) is especially designed to complement interior or exterior mounted wireless network systems.

The integrated male N(m) connector is embedded in the antenna base cap for direct mounting to the chosen AP. The ingress protection rating of this antenna element permits either upright or inverted orientation in outdoor locations. The antenna may also be pole-mounted when separation from the AP is required for optimum positioning.

The IW-ANT-OMH-2567-N is a self-identifying antenna having circuitry that enables supported Cisco access points (APs) to self-identify the antenna. This antenna has a built-in EEPROM that the APs read to automatically configure the antenna type and the gain in the wireless controller.

The following figure shows the IW-ANT-OMH-2567-N:
