I have a AP2802e and was wondering if i could connect 2 antennas (ANT2566P4W-R)on it , one using the normal connectors and the other would be connected using a DART connector(AIR-CAB002-DART-R).

From Datasheet:

Smart antenna connector

An intelligent second physical antenna connector is included on 2800 Series models with an external antenna. This connector provides advanced network design flexibility for high-density and large open-area environments such as auditoriums, convention centers, libraries, cafeterias, and arenas/stadiums, allowing two sets of antennas to be connected and active on a single access point.

So, the answer is Yes. You can have 2 sets are antennas on the same AP - one Antenna on the standard 4 ports RP-TNC and second antenna through the Smart connector, in order to have a Dual 5 GHz band.
