The RS antenna includes an EEPROM for antenna identification. Cisco specifies three orange-labeled leads and one purple-labeled lead; the purple lead connects to Port A on the compatible AP. This distinguishes it from the standard R version.
The official guide requires Catalyst 9800 controllers with IOS-XE 17.4.1 or later for the self-identifying model and excludes AireOS controllers. Check the specific AP and release combination before substitution.
The four-element patch covers 2400–2484 MHz and 5150–5850 MHz. It uses RP-TNC connections and 91.4 cm leads. Cisco describes indoor/outdoor use; follow its orientation, grounding and mounting instructions rather than assuming any wall arrangement is acceptable.
Record the AP, controller software and exact RS part number in the order. Request condition and mounting contents explicitly. Antenna gain does not prove controller capacity, guaranteed range or compatibility with every later radio generation.
