5 Configurations

The 2600 series access point contains two simultaneous dual-band radios, the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz 802.11n MIMO radios, in

controller-based and standalone models. The 2600 series access point’s radio configurations are:

• AIR-CAP2602E-x-K9, AIR-SAP2602E-x-K9, AIR-AP2602E-UXK9—two 2.4-GHz/5-GHz dual-band radios with up to 4

external dual-band dipole antennas

• AIR-CAP2602I-x-K9, AIR-SAP2602I-x-K9, AIR-AP2602I-UXK9—two 2.4-GHz/5-GHz dual-band radios, with integrated

dual-band inverted-F antennas

For information on the regulatory domains, see “Regulatory Domains” section on page 5.

External Antennas

The 2602E models are configured with up to four external dual-band dipole antennas, and two 2.4-GHz/5-GHz dual-band

radios. The radios and antennas support frequency bands 2400–2500 MHz and 5150–5850 MHz through a common dual-band

RF interface. Features of the external dual-band dipole antennas are:

• Four RTNC antenna connectors on the top of the access point

• Three TX and four RX antennas

These antennas are supported on the 2602E:
