About Cisco Catalyst IW9165D Heavy Duty Access Point

Introduction to Cisco Catalyst IW9165D Heavy Duty Access Point

The Cisco Catalyst IW9165D Heavy Duty Access Point (hereafter referred to as IW9165D) is designed to make wireless backhaul deployment simple. It comes with a built-in directional antenna that enables long-range, high-throughput connectivity anywhere fiber is not an option, so you can create a fixed wireless infrastructure (point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and mesh) as well as backhaul traffic from mobile devices along wayside or trackside deployments. The external antenna ports let you quickly extend your network to new places when needed and choose the right antenna based on the use cases and deployment architectures. With heavy-duty IP67 design, the IW9165D is certified to operate under wet, dusty, and extreme temperature conditions.

The IW9165D runs Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul (Cisco URWB), which delivers high availability, low latency, and zero packet loss with seamless handoffs. Cisco URWB is ideal for connecting moving assets or extending your network where running fiber isn’t feasible or affordable.

A full listing of the AP's features and specifications is provided in the Cisco Catalyst IW9165 Series Data Sheet.

Power Sources

The IW9165D is supported on these power sources:

  • DC power: 24 to 48 VDC

  • Power over Ethernet (PoE): 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), Cisco Universal PoE (Cisco UPOE).

Power Adapters

The IW9165D supports the following DC power adapters::

  • PID: IW-PWRADPT-MFIT4P=: Operating: -40°C to +65°C, 60W.

Power Injectors

The IW9165D supports the following power injectors:

  • IW-PWRINJ-60RGDMG=: Operating: -40°C to +70°C. Power derating of 60W at 70°C, and 65W at 65°C. Supports 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G rates.


Caution
When the AP is installed outdoors or in a wet or damp location, the AC branch circuit powering the AP should be provided with ground fault protection (GFCI), as required by Article 210 of the National Electrical Code (NEC).

Ethernet (PoE) Ports

The AP supports an Ethernet uplink port (also for PoE-IN). The Ethernet uplink port on the AP uses an RJ-45 connector (with weatherproofing) to link the AP to the 100BASE-T, 1000BASE-T, or 2.5G BASE-T network. The Ethernet cable is used to send and receive Ethernet data and optionally supply inline power from the power injector or a suitably powered switch port.


Tip
The AP senses the Ethernet and power signals, and automatically switch internal circuitry to match the cable connections.

The Ethernet cable must be a shielded, outdoor rated, Category 5e (CAT 5e) or better cable. The AP senses the Ethernet and power signals and automatically switches internal circuitry to match the cable connections.

Antennas and Radios

The Cisco Catalyst IW9165D Heavy Duty Access Point configuration is:

  • IW9165DH-x

The IW9165D access point has two N-type female connectors to support multiple antenna options, such as the self-identifying antennas (SIA) on designated SIA port, dual-band antennas, and single-band antennas. To see the list of supported antennas and the radio bands they operate at, see Supported External Antennas.

The IW9165D is also equiped with an internal directional antenna. For more information, see IW9165D (Internal Antenna) Radiation Patterns.
