Internal Antennas

The C9130AXI models (C9130AXI-x and C9130AXI-EWC-x) have four internal dual-band antennas with a dedicated
2.4 GHz radio and a 5 GHz radio, four internal single-band antennas with a dedicated 5 GHz radio, one internal
single-band antenna with a dedicated 2.4 GHz IOT radio, and one dual-band antenna with a dedicated 2.4 GHz radio
and a 5 GHz AUX radio.

External Antennas

The C9130AXE models (C9130AXE-x and C9130AXE-EWC-x) support up to eight external antennas. These include four
dual-band and four single-band 5 GHz antennas.
The C9130AXE model has an 8-port Smart Antenna (DART) connector on its side. Ext 8*8 antennas can be directly
connected to the C9130AXE AP using the 8-port Smart Antenna (DART) connector. Antennas with RP-TNC and N-type
connectors can be connected to this 8-port DART cable connector using the AIR-CAB002-D8-R= for RP-TNC
connectors or AIR-CAB003-D8-N= for N-type connectors.
For more information on Self Identifying Antennas, see
Note Always connect the antennas to the AP before powering the AP up. Enabling the AP radios without
connecting the antennas can result in damage to the AP.
