Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Points
AP Model Numbers and Regulatory Domains
You need to verify whether the AP model you have is approved for use in your country. To verify approval and to identify
the regulatory domain that corresponds to a particular country, visit http://www.cisco.com/go/aironet/compliance. Not
all regulatory domains have been approved. As and when they are approved, this compliance list will be updated.
Antennas and Radios
The 9130AX series access point configurations are:
C9130AXI-x
C9130AXI-EWC-x
C9130AXE-x
C9130AXE-EWC-x
Internal Antennas
The 9130AXI 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 9130AXE models (C9130AXE-x and C9130AXE-EWC-x) support up to eight external antennas. These include four
dual-band antennas and four single-band 5 GHz antennas.
The 9130AXE model has an 8-port Smart Antenna (DART) connector on its side. External antennas including the Self
Identifying Antennas (SIA) can be connected to this Smart Antenna connector using the 8-port DART cable connector
(AIR-CAB002-D8-R=).
The 9130AXE also supports Smart antennas.
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.
