C9120AXI-E Cisco Catalyst 9120AX Series Access Point

Key Features

• Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax): 4×4 MU-MIMO with four spatial streams, uplink/downlink OFDMA, BSS coloring, and Target Wake Time (TWT) for improved performance and efficiency.
• Backward Compatibility: Supports 802.11a/b/g/n/ac for seamless integration with existing infrastructure.
• Flexible Radio Configuration: Dual radios configurable for 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz operation, with an additional dedicated 5 GHz radio for enhanced capacity.
• PHY Data Rate: Up to 5.38 Gbps (160 MHz in 5 GHz and 20 MHz in 2.4 GHz bands).
• Integrated Antennas: Internal omnidirectional antennas with 4 dBi gain (2.4 GHz) and 5 dBi gain (5 GHz).
• External Antenna Support: Catalyst 9120AXE and 9120AXP models support external antennas up to 13 dBi gain with smart antenna connector support (DART interface).

Interfaces

• Ethernet: 1 x Multigigabit Ethernet port (100 Mbps / 1 Gbps / 2.5 Gbps) with Auto-MDIX (IEEE 802.3bz).
• Console: RJ-45 management port.
• USB: 1 x USB 2.0 port (4.5W max).

Power and Consumption

• Input Power: Supports 802.3at PoE+, 802.3af PoE, and Cisco UPOE via compatible power injectors (AIR-PWRINJ6= and AIR-PWRINJ5=).
• Maximum Power Draw: 25.5W (PoE+ with 4×4 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios active, 2.5G link, USB enabled).
• Note: Actual power draw may vary based on cable length and environment.

Environmental Specifications

• Operating Temperature: 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C).
