R850 order and power boundaries

901-R850-WW00 is the WW-region order for the dual-band R850. Its full radio configuration is eight streams on 5GHz and four on 2.4GHz. The order includes an adjustable acoustic-ceiling bracket but no power adapter.

The 5Gbps-capable port and additional Gigabit port are distinct interfaces. Under 802.3at Mode 0 the 5GHz radio drops to four chains; Mode 1 preserves eight chains but disables the Gigabit and USB ports. The manufacturer lists 802.3af with both Wi-Fi radios disabled and does not recommend it. Check the release-specific power mode before selecting a switch or injector.
