NEW Cisco Meraki MA-ANT-3-B6 Dipole Antenna (Pack of 6) for MR46E and MR53E

The Cisco Meraki MA-ANT-3-B6 is a pack of six indoor dual-band bendable dipole antennas for the Meraki MR46E and MR53E. Each dipole has 3 dBi of gain on 2.4 GHz and 5.7 dBi on 5 GHz, with an omnidirectional pattern and a 40-degree vertical beamwidth, and connects with an RP-TNC plug.

The difference from the straight A-series dipoles is a hinge. Each antenna can be angled at the joint, so the elements can stand vertical when the access point is mounted on a wall, sits sideways in an enclosure, or hangs upside down from a ceiling. Vertical elements give the most even coverage around the AP.

Each dipole is 3.51 inches long and 0.57 inches across and weighs about 0.71 oz. There is no cable or bracket; the dipoles screw straight onto the access point. Every port on the access point needs an antenna, so the five-port sets go on the five-port MR42E and the six-port sets on the MR46E and MR53E. For the five-port MR42E, the MA-ANT-3-B5 five-pack is the matching set.

This set fits the MR46E-HW Wi-Fi 6 access point and the MR53E-HW. For straight dipoles, see the MA-ANT-3-A6 six-pack, and to aim coverage from a wall, the MA-ANT-3-E6 wide patch.

This Cisco Meraki MA-ANT-3-B6 antenna is new and covered by the NetworkTigers one-year warranty. The original packaging may have been opened to inspect the contents.
