AIR-ANT2566P4W-R is a four-element dual-band MIMO patch antenna for aimed indoor or outdoor coverage. Cisco specifies 2400-2484 MHz and 5150-5850 MHz operation with 6 dBi gain in both bands.
This model directs energy toward a target area rather than providing ceiling-style omnidirectional coverage. Cisco lists 105-degree and 110-degree azimuth beamwidths and 65-degree and 55-degree elevation beamwidths for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Use predictive design and an on-site survey to set azimuth, elevation and mounting height.
The antenna has four 36-inch plenum-rated cables with RP-TNC male connectors. Confirm that the access point has four compatible dual-band external-antenna ports and map every chain correctly; adapters and unused-chain assumptions can invalidate the design.
Cisco documents indoor and outdoor use. Inspect bracket condition, sealing, cable routing, grounding and local lightning-protection requirements before deployment. The antenna does not replace site-specific surge protection.
Cisco documented a historical batch with labels showing 7 dBi even though the correct gain is 6 dBi. Verify the physical label and serial evidence during receipt without treating a misprinted 7 dBi label as a different RF design.
