Cisco AIR-ANT2568VG-N=, 8 dBi, 2400 - 2483, 5150 - 5925 GHz, 6 dBi, 8 dBi, 50 , Omni-directional antenna
Cisco Aironet Dual-Band Omnidirectional Antenna (AIR-ANT2568VG-N) is designed for outdoor use with Cisco Aironet Outdoor Access Points (hereafter referred to as access points) with radios operating in the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz frequency bands.
Installation Notes
The antenna is designed to connect to a dedicated antenna port on the access point. No special tools are required to install the antenna.
The antenna is resistant to the full range of outdoor environments. After the antenna is attached to the access point, seal the connections to prevent moisture and other weathering elements from affecting performance. Cisco recommends using a coax seal (such as CoaxSeal) for outdoor connections. Silicone sealant or electrical tape are not recommended for sealing outdoor connections.
Choosing a Mounting Location
The antenna is designed to create an omnidirectional broadcast pattern. To achieve this pattern, the access point should be mounted clear of any obstructions to the sides of the radiating element. If the mounting location is on the side of a building or tower, the antenna pattern is degraded on the building or tower side.
Generally, the higher an antenna is above the ground, the better it performs. A practice is to install your antenna about 5 to 10 ft (1.5 to 3 m) above the roof line and away from all power lines and obstructions.
Tools and Equipment Required
No tools are required to mount the antenna to the access point. However, you may need a

| Performance | |
| Frequency band A small section of the spectrum of radio communication frequencies, in which channels are usually used or set aside for the same purpose e.g.for a channel on FM radio; for mobile networks to communicate with mobile phones. | 2400 - 2483, 5150 - 5925 GHz |
| Antenna gain (2.4 GHz) | 6 dBi |
| Antenna gain (5 GHz) | 8 dBi |
| Impedance The effective resistance of an electric circuit or component to alternating current, arising from the combined effects of ohmic resistance and reactance. | 50 Ω |
| Antenna gain level (max) Antenna gain is the measurement of an antenna's ability to amplify the incoming microwave signals in a particular direction, compared with the sensitivity of an isotropic antenna in any direction, or a dipole antenna in the equatorial direction. | 8 dBi |
| Features | |
| Antenna type Type of antenna, also known an aerial, e.g. external, internal. | Omni-directional antenna |
| Antenna connector type The way in which the antenna is connected to the device e.g. coaxial. | N-type |
| Polarization | Vertical polarization |
| International Protection (IP) code The IP code classifies and rates the degree of protection provided against the intrusion (including body parts such as hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact, and water by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures. It is published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The digits (characteristic numerals) indicate conformity with the conditions summarized in the tables below. Where there is no protection rating with regard to one of the criteria, the digit is replaced with the letter X. an electrical socket rated IP22 is protected against insertion of fingers and will not be damaged or become unsafe during a specified test in which it is exposed to vertically or nearly vertically dripping water. Another example is the Sony Xperia Z Ultra, one of the first cellular phones to be IP-rated; it is rated at IP58 and marketed as "dust resistant" and can be "immersed in 1.5 meter of freshwater for up to 30 minutes". | IP67 |
| Operational conditions | |
| Operating temperature (T-T) The minimum and maximum temperatures at which the product can be safely operated. | -30 - 70 °C |
| Storage temperature (T-T) The minimum and maximum temperatures at which the product can be safely stored. | -40 - 85 °C |
| Weight & dimensions | |
| Height The measurement of the product from head to foot or from base to top. | 377 mm |
| Diameter Distance from one side of a body (circle or sphere) to the other side, measured by a straight line passing through the centre of the body. | 3.81 cm |
| Weight Weight of the product without packaging (net weight). If possible, the net weight is given including standard accessories and supplies. Please note that sometimes the manufacturer leaves out the weight of accessories and/or supplies. | 204.1 g |
