Cisco 9130AXE Antennas compatibility

[arturo-mosegui]

Hi,

I have a question regarding the number of antennas that I can connect to the 9130AXE.

Using the AIR-CAB002-D8-R= on the 9130AXE, can I connect two AIR-ANT2566P4W-RS= and go 2.4 and 5 GHz on both of them?

As far as I know, that is not possible with the 9120AXE, as I can connect two 2566 antennas (one directly and the other with the AIR-CAB002-DART-R=), but they will work only on 5GHz.

I guess that whatever the answer is, it applies as well to the 2566, 2524, 2544... and the rest of the compatible antennas.

Thank you,

AIR-ANT2566P4W has two radios.  9130 has three:  1 x 2.4 Ghz, 1 x 5.0 Ghz and a dual-mode 2.4Ghz/5.0 Ghz "micro" radio.  

If this is used, the "micro" radio will need to be disabled. 

Personally, I would not AIR-ANT2566P4W with a Catalyst 9k AP.

AIR-ANT2566P4W-R= & AIR-ANT2566P4W-RS= are the supported antennas to use with C9130AXE. Connect to AP using AIR-CAB002-D8-R=.
