WiFi Antennas

• AP-334/IAP-334: Four RP-SMA connectors for external dual band antennas. Internal loss between radio interface and external antenna connectors (due to diplexing circuitry): 2.3 dB in 2.4 GHz and 1.2 dB in 5 GHz.
• AP-335/IAP-335
  • Four integrated 2.4 GHz downtilt omni-directional antennas for 4x4 MIMO with maximum antenna gain of 4.3 dBi per antenna.
  • Each 5 GHz radio chain has both a vertically and a horizontally polarized antenna element; AP software automatically and dynamically selects the best set of elements for each data packet transmitted or received.
  • Eight integrated 5 GHz downtilt omni-directional antennas for 4x4 MIMO with maximum antenna gain of 5.4 dBi (vertical)/4.2 dBi (horizontal) per antenna.
  • Built-in antennas are optimized for horizontal ceiling mounted orientation of the AP. The downtilt angle for maximum gain is roughly 30 degrees.
  • The maximum gain of the combined (summed) antenna patterns for all elements operating in the same band is 8.6 dBi in 2.4 GHz and 8.5 dBi (vertical)/8.1 dBi (horizontal) in 5 GHz.

Power Sources and Consumption

• The AP supports direct DC power and Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• When both power sources are available, DC power takes priority over PoE
• Power sources are sold separately
• Direct DC source: 48Vdc nominal, +/- 5%
  • Interface accepts 1.35/3.5-mm center-positive circular plug with 9.5-mm length
• Power over Ethernet (PoE): 48 Vdc (nominal) 802.3af/802.3at compliant source
  • When using IPM, the AP may enter power-save mode with reduced functionality when powered by a PoE source (see details on Intelligent Power Monitoring in this datasheet)
  • Without IPM the AP will apply some fixed restrictions when using PoE:
  • The USB interface is disabled when using an 802.3at PoE power source
  • The USB interface and second Ethernet port are disabled, and both radios operate in 1x1 mode when using an 802.3af POE power source
• Maximum (worst-case) power consumption: 25.3W (802.3at PoE), 13.2W (802.3af PoE) or 25W (DC)
  • Excludes power consumed by external USB device (and internal overhead); this could add up to 5.9W (PoE or DC) for a 5W/1A USB device
• Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode: 10.9W (PoE or DC)

Mounting

• The AP ships with two (white) mounting clips to attach to a 9/16-inch or 15/16-inch flat T-bar drop-tile ceiling.
• Several optional mount kits are available to attach the AP to a variety of surfaces; see the Ordering Information section below for details
