Directional Antenna Cisco Catalyst C-ANT9103= 6 dBi Dual-Band MIMO

The Cisco Catalyst C-ANT9103= Dual-Band Directional Wi‑Fi Patch Antenna provides focused wireless coverage with 6 dBi gain for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. FCC-approved and designed for directed signal propagation, this patch antenna concentrates transmitted and received energy toward a target area to improve link performance in a chosen direction while reducing energy in other directions.

Advantages

The antenna offers 6 dBi gain on both bands, supports MIMO operation via eight dual-band ports, and uses a DART connector for compatible Cisco installations. Its directional patch design helps increase signal strength and range toward intended coverage zones and reduces interference from unwanted directions. The product is FCC-approved, ensuring regulatory compliance in supported markets.

Suitable for

• Extending Wi‑Fi coverage toward a specific building or outdoor area
• Point-to-area links where focused signal is required
• Deployments needing improved MIMO performance in targeted directions
• Environments where reducing off-axis interference is important
