Suuntaava Wi-Fi-patch-antenni Cisco AIR-ANT2513P4M-N

The Cisco AIR-ANT2513P4M-N Directional Wi-Fi Patch Antenna is a dual-band antenna designed to improve wireless coverage and signal focus. It offers 13 dBi gain on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, dual polarization and four N-type female ports to support multi-stream and MIMO deployments in indoor and outdoor installations. The antenna has a compact profile (507 mm width, 21.1 mm height) and weighs 2.3 kg. It is FCC-approved and includes a 1-year limited hardware warranty.

Advantages

The antenna provides increased directional gain to concentrate RF energy in a chosen direction, reducing interference from other bearings. Dual-band operation and 13 dBi gain on both frequencies enable extended range and improved link stability for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks. Four N-type female ports with dual polarization support MIMO and flexible integration with access points and radios. The compact form factor and rugged design simplify mounting and deployment in varied environments.

Suitable for

• Extending point-to-point or point-to-multipoint wireless links
• Improving coverage in long-range outdoor or semi-outdoor installations
• Deployments requiring MIMO or multi-stream antennas
• Environments where focused directional coverage reduces interference

How to use

Mount the Cisco AIR-ANT2513P4M-N in the desired direction to concentrate RF energy toward the target coverage area. Connect the four N-type ports to compatible radios or access points using appropriate coaxial cables and connectors, ensuring correct polarization alignment for MIMO performance. Verify mechanical mounting is secure and weatherproof any outdoor cable connections. After installation, perform site surveys and signal measurements to fine-tune aiming and confirm coverage and throughput.

Recommendations

Use shielded, low-loss coaxial cables and quality N-type connectors to preserve signal integrity. Align the antenna precisely toward the intended coverage area and avoid obstacles in the main lobe; check local regulations and coordinate frequencies to minimize interference with other services.
