Ethernet (PoE) Ports
The AP supports an Ethernet uplink port (also for PoE-IN). The Ethernet uplink port on the AP uses an RJ-45
connector (with weatherproofing) to link the AP to the 100BASE-T, 1000BASE-T, or 2.5G BASE-T network.
The Ethernet cable is used to send and receive Ethernet data and optionally supply inline power from the
power injector or a suitably powered switch port.
The AP senses the Ethernet and power signals, and automatically switch internal circuitry to match the cable
connections.
Tip
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 24 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord. Statement 1023
Danger
The Ethernet cable must be a shielded, outdoor rated, Category 5e (CAT 5e) or better cable. The AP senses
the Ethernet and power signals and automatically switches internal circuitry to match the cable connections.
Antennas and Radios
The Cisco Catalyst IW9165D Heavy Duty Access Point configuration is:
• IW9165DH-x
The IW9165D access point has two N-type female connectors to support multiple antenna options, such as
the self-identifying antennas (SIA) on designated SIA port, dual-band antennas, and single-band antennas.
To see the list of supported antennas and the radio bands they operate at, see Supported External Antennas,
on page 8.
The IW9165D is also equiped with an internal directional antenna. For more information, see IW9165D
(Internal Antenna) Radiation Patterns, on page 10.
Supported External Antennas
See Connectors and Ports, on page 2 for the antenna ports of the IW9165D access point.
