AIR-AP1815W-H-K9C Cisco Aironet 1815W WiFi 5 Mobility Express AP

AIR-AP1815W-H-K9C H-Domain Wall-Plate AP

AIR-AP1815W-H-K9C is the H-domain Mobility Express order of Cisco's Aironet 1815w. It combines 2x2:2 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless with a wall-plate form factor, one PoE uplink, three local Gigabit Ethernet ports and a passive RJ-45 pass-through for hotel, dormitory or room deployments.

H-domain channel boundary

Cisco publishes thirteen 2.4 GHz channels at 2.412-2.472 GHz, eight 5 GHz channels at 5.180-5.320 GHz and five at 5.745-5.825 GHz. Verify the installation country and controller regulatory state in Cisco's current compliance lookup before enabling radios.

PoE-out depends on PoE-in

One local Ethernet port can provide 802.3af class 0 PoE only when the AP itself receives 802.3at power. With 802.3af input, Cisco specifies no PoE output. Record PSE class, negotiated input, downstream device load and port state; a powered AP alone does not prove that its phone or camera output path is usable.

Wall cabling and accessory acceptance

Inspect the rear uplink, bottom-facing local ports, passive pass-through and mounting bracket. The AIR-AP1815W-KIT spacer and jumper are sold separately, as is the security kit. Receiving should reconcile those accessories instead of assuming that a wall installation is complete from the AP PID alone.

Mobility Express and lifecycle

The K9C order uses Mobility Express as its default software option. Capture current image, primary/subordinate role, country, configuration backup and recovery result. Cisco lists this exact H-domain PID as end of sale, with last support on 30 April 2027 and Catalyst 9105AX as the migration family. AIR-AP1815W-A-K9C has a different regulatory channel plan.
