AIR-AP3802P-TK910C - Cisco Aironet 3800p Access Point Configurable

AIR-AP3802P-TK910C Order Identity

AIR-AP3802P-TK910C is a Cisco Aironet 3800 Series, controller-based 802.11ac Wave 2 access point order. This exact SKU is a 3802P external-antenna access point, carries regulatory-domain token T, and uses a configurable 10-unit eco-pack.

Antenna and quantity boundary

External antenna system required; verify the exact Cisco-supported antenna and connector arrangement. Treat the antenna design as an engineered item: retain the selected antenna, cable path, mounting method and regulatory approval with the access-point order.

Cisco identifies the K910 order form as an eco-pack containing 10 access points; carton-level receiving must reconcile all ten serial numbers.

The C suffix marks a configurable order form. The final Cisco quotation must preserve the selected regulatory domain and any configuration choices; the suffix does not make the unit globally deployable.

Regulatory-domain control

The order carries regulatory-domain token T. Treat that token as an identifier, not a country name. Complete site-specific compliance evidence and asset registration against Cisco's current compliance resources before shipment or activation.

Cisco uses the variable regulatory-domain position in its ordering structure. Deployment eligibility must be checked for the destination country; this page does not infer a country mapping from token T.

Controller readiness

Record the intended Cisco wireless controller, supported software train and join method. Validate the AP on a staging network before changing the production RF plan. The acceptance file should identify the controller address, discovery path, AP authorization method and the release evidence used for approval. Capture the first successful join, configuration download and radio state, then remove any temporary staging authorization. This makes a later controller migration traceable without claiming that every software release supports the hardware.

Multigigabit uplink

The 3800 Series supports multigigabit Ethernet. Verify the switch port, cabling category, negotiated rate and error counters instead of assuming a 2.5 or 5 Gbps link. Commissioning should preserve the negotiated Ethernet rate, cable-test result, packet errors and switch configuration. Where the access switch is limited to 1 Gbps, state that design choice explicitly instead of presenting multigigabit capability as achieved throughput. Recheck negotiation after patch-cord or switch changes.

RF survey

Associate this order with the survey location, channel plan and expected client density. Re-survey after installation if mounting or antenna conditions differ from design. The survey record should show mounting height, obstructions, neighboring radios, channel width and the client mix used for capacity planning. Compare measured post-install coverage with the design and document any power, channel or placement adjustment. This gives the exact order a site-specific purpose beyond a generic product description.

Cable qualification

Test the permanent link and preserve the cable result, patch-cord identity and switch port. A successful low-speed link does not prove multigigabit readiness. Store the certification result for the permanent link and both patch leads, including the test standard and date. Investigate pair faults, excessive length and negotiation fallback before AP commissioning. Link the cable record to the switch port and AP serial so later throughput problems can be separated from radio behavior.

Replacement planning

Cisco lists the 3800 Series in its end-of-life notices. Record the permitted service horizon, replacement trigger and successor design with this purchase. Document the event that ends further 3802 deployment, the approved successor family and any controller coexistence constraint. Include funding, survey impact and installation sequencing. If the item is purchased as a spare, set a final-use date so old inventory does not silently outlive the network's supported architecture.

Migration dependency

Inventory controller, licensing, switch power, cabling and mounting dependencies that must change when the 3802 is replaced by a newer platform. Map the existing AP to its controller, licenses, authentication services, switch port, power budget, cable, bracket and monitoring objects. The successor plan should state which dependencies can be reused and which require change. This prevents a nominal AP replacement from failing because the surrounding platform was never inventoried.

Lifecycle and migration evidence

Cisco's support site lists an end-of-life announcement for the Aironet 3800 Series. Confirm current support dates, controller compatibility and the approved replacement path before treating available stock as suitable for a new deployment.
