E-Plane Pattern H-Plane Pattern System Requirements This antenna is designed for use with Cisco Aironet access points, but can be used with any 2.4-GHz Cisco Aironet radio device that utilizes a RP-TNC connector. Installation Notes Choosing a Mounting Location The location of the antenna is important. Objects such as metal columns, walls, etc. will reduce efficiency. Best performance is achieved when transmit and receive antennas are mounted at the same height and in a direct line of sight

Note If you use another mount, make sure the length of the threaded stud does not exceed 0.35 inch (0.9 centimeter). Step 7 Use cable ties or electrical tape to secure the antenna coaxial cable along the ceiling track. Suggested Cable Cisco recommends a high-quality, low-loss cable for use with the antenna. Note The higher the frequency, the higher the loss through the cable. Also, the longer the run, the higher the loss. Obtaining Documentation, Obtaining Support, and Security Guidelines F
