I am being tasked with setting up a wireless bridge between to buildings. I am using  AIR-SAP2602E-A-K9 access points and was wondering what would be the best antenna to go with for the wireless bridge. my goal is to keep the AP indoors and the antenna outdoors. If you can, please provide part numbers. I greatly appreciate it.

How far is the link going to be? The 2566P Antenna is fairly good and would meet your requirements for outdoor antenna with internal AP. You have to drill a hole big enough to fit four coaxial lead and connectors through (or use coax extension). Also the antennas will need to line up with line of sight / no obstructions etc.

The distance is under 200 feet. I just need to make sure that before I order the antenna's, I need to make certain that they will work with the AIR-SAP2602E-A-K9. I appreciate your assistance.

I've used this antenna a lot. You should be good but keep in mind I'm not sure how much left and right you are trying to cover ..

These will be used only for the wireless bridge. I don't think that we will be broadcasting the SSID for the link. Thank you for the help.
