C9115AXI-G Cisco Catalyst 9115AXI Integrated-Antenna Wi-Fi 6 Access Point

G-domain controller staging record

C9115AXI-G is the domain-G Catalyst 9115AXI controller-based access point. Cisco identifies AXI as the integrated-antenna form, with published peak gain of 3 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 4 dBi at 5 GHz.

Exact acceptance evidence

Capture PID, serial, controller release and G-domain approval during receiving. Test CAPWAP discovery, image transfer, authentication and multigigabit link state before mass rollout.

Power and Ethernet states

Under 802.3at, Cisco documents both radios at 4x4, 2.5-Gigabit Ethernet and USB; the published maximum is 20.4W for AXI. Under 802.3af, both radios reduce to 2x2, Ethernet reduces to 1G and USB is disabled. The same reduced state is documented above 40 C ambient.

Regulatory and lifecycle gate

The final G is a regulatory-domain token. Verify the exact PID for the destination with Cisco compliance data. Cisco's current hardware lifecycle bulletin gives affected Catalyst 9115 orders a last-order date of 2026-12-31 and last-support date of 2031-12-31; plan migration using the matching 9174I antenna form.

Controller procurement boundary

This PID has no EWC infix, so it is not evidence of an AP-hosted Embedded Wireless Controller image. Record the target WLC release, entitlement, successful CAPWAP join and recovery test.
