Antenna Cable Information - Cisco Aironet AIR-ANT5114P2M-N System Requirements

Installing the Antenna

Step 5 Attach antenna assembly to azimuth bracket, as shown in
Step 6 Adjust the position of the antenna to the desired azimuth and elevation angles and tighten all pivot
hardware (4 places) to a maximum torque of 55 in-lbf (6.2 Nm). The bracket allows the antenna position
to be adjustable to +/–45 degrees azimuth and +/–60 degrees elevation.
Note

Antenna Cable Information

If the antenna is used with the Cisco 1552CU or 1552EU access point, the port A of the antenna must be
connected to port 1 of the access point, port B of the antenna must be connected to port 3 of the access
point, and port 2 of the access point must be capped with the cap enclosed with the antenna.
Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. The cable
Note
should be kept as short as possible because cable length also causes signal loss (the longer
the run, the greater the loss).
