Cisco Wi-Fi Antennas and Accessories - Refurbished, Used, New
Cisco Aironet antennas and mounting accessories are the external antennas, wall brackets and ceiling-rail clips that go with Cisco Aironet and Catalyst access points. External antennas matter on access points with antenna ports, such as the E and P models used in warehouses, stadiums, factories and outdoor areas, where the shape and gain of the antenna decide what the radio covers. Brackets and T-rail clips are needed for almost every indoor access point install, and the originals often go missing when units are moved. NetworkTigers sells Aironet omnidirectional, directional and dual-band antennas, wall mount brackets, ceiling grid clips and the CMX beacon point refurbished, used and new. Every item is tested before it ships so it works when it arrives.

Which antenna or bracket do I need?
Check the connector on your access point first. Most indoor Aironet access points with external antenna ports use RP-TNC, so a dipole such as the AIR-ANT5135D-R screws on directly. Outdoor and industrial access points use N connectors, which is what the AIR-ANT2547VG-N, AIR-ANT5180V-N, AIR-ANT2413P2M-N and AIR-ANT2513P4M-N carry; an N antenna on an RP-TNC radio needs an adapter or pigtail. Then choose the pattern. An omni spreads signal evenly around a mast, which suits a loading dock or courtyard. A patch pushes signal in one direction, which suits a long aisle, a parking lot edge or a point-to-point link. Higher gain means a narrower beam, not more total power, so a 13 dBi patch covers farther but thinner. Match the antenna port count to the radio: a four-port patch pairs with a 4x4 access point. For indoor mounts, the AIR-AP-BRACKET-2 fits most current access points and a T-RAIL clip holds it on a drop ceiling.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a 2.4 GHz antenna on a 5 GHz radio?
No. A single-band antenna is tuned for its band, and the other band will perform poorly or not at all. Use a dual-band antenna such as the AIR-ANT2547VG-N or AIR-ANT2513P4M-N when both radios share the same antenna.
Do the brackets fit Catalyst 9100 access points?
The AIR-AP-BRACKET-1 and AIR-AP-BRACKET-2 are the standard mounts across recent Aironet and Catalyst indoor access points. Tell us the access point model and we will confirm the bracket before you order.
Are mounting hardware and cables included with an antenna?
Listings state what ships in the box. Mounting kits, pigtails and lightning arrestors are sold separately so you can choose the run length and mount your site needs.
