CISCO AIR-ANT2422DB-R Antenna 2.4 5 5.8 GHz

AIR-ANT2422DB-R Black Swivel Dipole

AIR-ANT2422DB-R is Cisco's legacy black 2.4 GHz swivel dipole antenna with 2.2 dBi gain and an RP-TNC connector. The DB suffix and black finish identify this order; it is not the later dual-band AIR-ANT2524DB-R.

Dipole deployment boundary

The swivel joint allows antenna orientation at the access point, but usable coverage still depends on AP placement, polarization and obstructions. This single antenna does not create a complete diversity or MIMO set unless the radio design and required quantity are satisfied.

Single-band limitation

Cisco's affected-product table describes 2.4 GHz operation only. Do not represent it as a 5 GHz antenna or substitute it for a dual-band model solely because the connector fits.

Used-part inspection

Check the swivel joint for stable positioning, the RP-TNC threads and center contact for damage, and the radome for cracks. Confirm the required antenna count and color/placement convention for the exact access point.

Replacement is not identical

Cisco identifies AIR-ANT2524DB-R as the migration product, rated for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The replacement changes band capability, so radio-port mapping and AP approval must be verified.
