Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Points
What is a Smart Antenna connector?
The C9130AXE model has a Smart antenna connector (see Figure 17), which is connected directly to the flexible radio.
Without a supported external antenna connected to the Smart Antenna connector, the flexible radio can stay only in
2.4 GHz mode. If an external antenna is connected, the flexible radio can be used in the full Flexible Radio Assignment
mode.
To connect any supported RP-TNC connector-type external antenna to the Smart antenna connector, use the DART
cable connector AIR-CAB002-D8-R= (see Figure 18), which is to be procured separately from Cisco.
To connect any supported N connector-type external antenna to the Smart antenna connector, use the DART cable
connector AIR-CAB003-D8-N= (see Figure 19), which is to be procured separately from Cisco.
