Hello,
I'm using APs with two antennas per AP as:
AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9 | 802.11ag LWAPP AP Dual 2.4,5GHz RP-TNC ETSI Cnfg |
AIR-ANT5195P-R | Cisco 5GHz 9.5dBi Patch Antenna w/RP-TNC connector |
AIR-ANT2460P-R | Cisco 2.4 GHz 6 dBi Patch Antenna w/RP-TNC Connector |
The reason I use antennas like this because of my environment, 5GHz source is in one direction and 2GHz is in another, the omni antenna type is not good enough. After many time site survey, try different antenna types, I found the above combination is best suite for me.
Because the Aironet 1242AG is end of sale, I'm looking for the new model Aironet 1532E with capable support single-band antenna.
But when I see the directional antennas for 1532E, all using N-Male connector: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/aironet-1530-series/guide-c07-729725.html
Part Number | Frequency Band | Gain | Type | Required Quantity |
AIR-ANT2547VG-N | 2.4/5 GHz | 4/7 dBi | Omnidirectional | 2 |
AIR-ANT2547V-N | 2.4/5 GHz | 4/7 dBi | Omnidirectional | 2 |
AIR-ANT2588P3M-N= | 2.4/5 GHz | 8/8 dBi | Directional | 1 |
AIR-ANT2450V-N | 2.4 GHz | 5 dBi | Omnidirectional | 2 |
AIR-ANT2480V-N | 2.4 GHz | 8 dBi | Omnidirectional | 2 |
AIR-ANT2413P2M-N= | 2.4 GHz | 13 dBi | Directional | 1 |
AIR-ANT5180V-N | 5 GHz | 8 dBi | Omnidirectional | 2 |
AIR-ANT5114P2M-N= | 5 GHz | 14 dBi | Directional | 1 |
It doesn't have a similar type as previous RP-TNC connector antenna. Example:
- The 2.4GHz 13 dBi Directional AIR-ANT2413P2M-N=: it got narrow angle than AIR-ANT2460P-R and I also don't need too much gain like that.
- The same situation for 5Ghz Directional
So, can I use the old RP-TNC antenna type with new Aironet 1532E by RP-TNC to N-Male plug like this: http://www.amazon.com/C2G-Cables-42201-N-Male-Adapter/dp/B001GUW2RW
Thank in advance,
Regards
