This document provides the descriptions and installation instructions for wireless antennas supported on the
Cisco Industrial Series Routers and Industrial Wireless Access Points. This guide is not intended to replace
existing hardware installation guides, software configuration guides, or other sources of information that are
product specific. Instead, this guide is intended to provide a single source of antenna information and supported
platforms for the Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Access Points.
This guide does not cover antenna or accessories compatibility with indoor enterprise products, although it
does cover a number of indoor use cases for industrial products.
Antennas might be installed into the host router prior to delivery or ordered separately as a field-replaceable
unit. Please consult your products Hardware Installation Guide for details.
Deciding which antenna to use involves many factors such as coverage area, maximum distance, indoor
location, outdoor location, and antenna height.
When antennas are used indoors, the building geometry, construction materials, ceiling height, and internal
obstructions must be considered. In outdoor environments, obstructions such as trees, vehicles, buildings, and
hills must be considered.

Warning
Statement 1071—Warning Definition
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar
with standard practices for preventing accidents. Read the installation instructions before using, installing, or
connecting the system to the power source. Use the statement number at the beginning of each warning
statement to locate its translation in the translated safety warnings for this device.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Note
For your safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions.
Mast Mounted or Building Mounted Installations
The following instructions are common to most mast mounted or building mounted installations. For specific
installation instructions for each antenna, see the antenna data-sheet and the router hardware installation guide.
• Find someone to help you—installing an antenna is often a two-person job.
• Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power
lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you.
• Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed
installation.
• Do not use a metal ladder.
• Do not work on a wet or windy day.
• Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or
jacket.
• If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and
metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these
parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer.
• If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to
remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely.
• If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately.
• Assemble your new antenna on the ground or a level surface at the installation site.
• Connect its coaxial cable while you are on the ground and attach the antenna to the mast.
Cisco Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Access Points Antenna Guide

Page 39
Cisco Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Antenna Guide Overview
• Ensure that the mast does not fall as you raise or remove it. Use a durable non-conductive rope secured
at each two foot level as the mast is raised. Have an assistant tend the rope, ready to pull the mast clear
of any hazards (such as power lines) should it begin to fall.
• Use the mounting bracket provided with the antenna.
• If the installation will use guy wires:
• Install guy anchor bolts.
• Estimate the length of guy wire and cut it before raising the mast.
• Attach guy wires to a mast using guy rings.
• In the case of a guyed (tall, thin mast) installation, you must have at least one assistant to hold the
mast upright while the guy wires are attached and tightened to the anchor bolts.
• Attach a “DANGER” label at eye level on the mast.
• Install ground rods to remove any static electricity buildup and connect a ground wire to the mast and
ground rod. Use ground rods designed for that purpose, not a spare piece of pipe.
Guidelines to Achieving Optimal RF and Antenna Performance
Unused Antenna Ports
Port plugs must be installed in any unused antenna ports.
The weatherproof caps on the connectors protect the router interior from environmental elements including
water, heat, cold, and dust. They are installed on unused ports before the router is shipped.
When you install a new antenna in a port with an N-connector:
• Chassis-mounted antennas—Remove the weather proof cap before installing a chassis-mounted antenna.
• External antennas—Remove weatherproof cap, then connect the supported Cisco cable to the connector.
Guidelines to Achieving Optimal RF and Antenna Performance
Antennas are a critical component of a wireless communication system. Selecting a suitable antenna, an
optimal antenna location, or antenna site is essential for optimum performance of a wireless links.
This section covers general tips for optimizing RF performance of indoor and outdoor terrestrial radio systems
in the 400-7125 MHz frequency range. Examples of terrestrial radio systems include 4G LTE, 5G NR, Wi-Fi,
LoRa, LR-WPAN and similar. In this context GPS SPS would not be considered a terrestrial system as the
signal is received from space, not from another terrestrial site.
Because the antenna transmits and receives radio signals over the air, overall RF performance of the link is
susceptible to RF obstructions and common sources of RF interference that can reduce throughput and range
of the system.
Follow these guidelines to optimize performance. When in doubt, consult a qualified RF professional, and
check with your solution partner for specific recommendations.
Antenna Model Selection and Performance
Consider the following when planning your installation:
Cisco Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Access Points Antenna Guide
3
Page 40
Guidelines to Achieving Optimal RF and Antenna Performance
• When selecting the antenna, ensure that it covers the frequency ranges or frequency bands of interest,
and that it has good RF parameters such as antenna efficiency, VSWR and suitable radiation pattern for
every frequency range that your application will use with this antenna.
• Antenna pattern is important. Omni-directional antennas have lower gain, but allow communicating to
devices in all azimuth directions. Directional antennas concentrate the beam in a specific direction,
making them ideal for point to point communication.
• When a system has multiple RF ports for receive and / or transmit, as is the case for 4G LTE , 5G NR
or Wi-Fi, it is highly recommended to populate all the RF ports with suitable antennas to take advantage
of MIMO, rather than rely on a single port or single antenna to save on cost. Please see the MIMO section
for a detailed description of MIMO benefits.
• For RF systems that support multiple RF ports and multiple RF standards such as LTE, Wi-Fi, and GPS:
consider using a multi-element antenna that integrates multiple antennas under the same radome (cover).
Doing so may reduce cost compared to deploying and mounting a discrete single port antenna for every
RF port.
• For communication between fixed infrastructure devices, such as mesh nodes or a point-to-point backhaul
link, each device should have an antenna with the same polarization. If communicating with mobile
devices that might be randomly oriented, consider dual-polarized antennas, such as those with both
vertical and horizontal or slant +45° and -45° polarized elements.
Cisco Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Antenna Guide Overview
Antenna Environmental Specifications
The selected antenna must have suitable mechanical and environmental specifications for the environment
where it will be deployed. For example, shock and vibration specifications for transportation, corrosion
resistant construction for marine and oil and gas industries, or IP (ingress protection) rating for outdoor
deployment. Indoor antennas are typically not suitable for harsh industrial environments. Please check with
your system integrator for environmental requirements for your application.
Antenna Accessories and Mounting
Consider the following when planning your installation:
• Carefully consider what type of other RF accessories, besides antenna, such as RF cables, lightning
arrestors or RF adapters may be required in your installations. It is best to minimize long RF cable runs
due to RF signal losses in the cable. Thinner RF cables have more RF loss , thicker cables are less flexible
and more expensive.
• Carefully consider how the antenna will be physically mounted, as this may affect antenna selection. For
example, a stud mount mechanical mounting design is a better fit for mounting on top of an electrical
cabinet than a mast mount antenna.
• For outdoor deployments, follow installation instructions for the antenna. It is good practice to keep
protective covers on the radio’s RF ports and any antenna or accessory RF ports until the moment the
interfaces are mated. This reduces chances of contamination, trapping water or condensation inside the
connector, or accidental damage to RF interfaces.
MIMO Performance and Arrays
MIMO systems deliver benefits of higher SNR, higher reliability and higher throughput compared to single
antenna systems. In more technical terms, MIMO delivers array gain, diversity gain and multiplexing gain
compared to single antenna.
Cisco Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Access Points Antenna Guide

Page 41
Cisco Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Antenna Guide Overview
• Array gain — Improvement in SNR (signal to noise ratio) by coherently combining signals from multiple
antennas. For example, increasing SNR through beamforming techniques.
• Diversity gain — Improvement in reliability by mitigating deep fading or strong destructive EM wave
interference. For example, in a two-antenna system, if one antenna is experiencing deep fading due to
an EM destructive null at its location at a given instant, the other antenna is unlikely to have a null at the
same instant, and the combined SNR stays at a reliable level. In contrast, a single antenna would see
SNR oscillating between good SNR and very poor SNR and reliability would degrade.
• Multiplexing gain — Increase in system capacity or throughput by sending independent data over multiple
spatial streams simultaneously. The number of streams cannot be more than the number of antennas. For
example, to support three spatial streams, a minimum of three antennas is required. Often there may be
additional antennas for diversity or redundancy, such as in the case of 4x4:3, or 4x4 MIMO with 3 spatial
streams.
If deploying multiple single-element antennas for a MIMO system in an array, ensure sufficient spacing
between the antennas. Omnidirectional elements should generally be at least one wavelength apart at the
lowest operating frequency.
Consider the following:
Guidelines to Achieving Optimal RF and Antenna Performance
• For Wi-Fi systems operating in the 2.4, 5, and/or 6 GHz bands, space elements at least 5 inches (12.5
cm) apart.
• For 4G LTE and 5G systems with the lowest operating frequency of 617 MHz , space elements at least
20 inches (50 cm) apart.
• Note that spacing between elements inside multi-element MIMO antennas is often less than one
wavelength. However multi-element antennas are engineered with MIMO performance in mind, by
providing antenna diversity through pattern, polarization, and isolation between MIMO elements.
Antenna siting and location
Consider the following when planning your installation:
• Plan antenna location ahead of time. Ideal location for an antenna is in LOS (line of sight) of the
counterpart that it is trying to communicate with. Under LOS conditions the signals propagate directly
between the two communication nodes, without relying on signal bouncing off a wall or other structure
to reach the counterpart. This is sometimes not possible to achieve in practice, but it is a useful goal to
keep in mind when optimizing antenna location.
• While it is good to keep RF cables short, it is most desirable for an antenna to be in the best location it
can be to provide the desired coverage.
• For large deployments involving multiple units communicating with each other across a complex urban
or industrial landscape, consider running an RF propagation modeling study to predict approximate
simulated coverage maps and determine initial placement of the units. A propagation study may help
reduce overall deployment cost by discovering and mitigating issues with RF coverage before the
infrastructure is physically installed.
• Keep the antenna away from metal obstructions such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling
trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. One exception is if the antenna is designed
to be mounted on a ground plane. If mounting on a ground plane, mount the antenna on a flat metal
surface away from adjacent obstructions.

• It is strongly recommended not to install antennas directly on the router or access point (AP), unless the
• Reasons to mount antennas away from the router include:
• If installing an antenna indoors, consider that the density and electromagnetic properties of the materials
Cisco Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Antenna Guide Overview
router or AP is specifically engineered to directly mount the antennas. Products that are engineered for
direct mounting of antennas specifically address each of the below issues.
• Router location may not be optimal location for antenna to communicate with the counterpart
wirelessly, so router and antenna may need to be in different locations.
• Router may have a clutter of Ethernet cable and power cables around it, which will obstruct antenna
signal.
• A number of routers, such as the IR1835, are modular. They have plug-in RF modules for Wi-Fi ,
4G LTE or 5G NR such as WP-WIFI6, P-LTEAP18-GL, P-5GS6-GL. These modules have RF
connectors spaced close together, and while it is mechanically possible to install four or five antennas
directly attached, this will result in significant degradation to RF performance of antennas due to
mutual de-tuning between closely spaced antennas. It is strongly recommended to install antennas
away from the chassis in modular cases.
used in the building construction determines the number of walls the signal can pass through and still
maintain adequate coverage.
• Paper and vinyl walls have very little effect on signal penetration.
• Solid and pre-cast concrete walls limit signal penetration to one or two walls without degrading
coverage.
• Concrete and wood block walls limit signal penetration to three or four walls.
• A signal can penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood.
• A thick metal wall causes signals to reflect off, causing poor penetration.
• A chain link fence or wire mesh spaced between 1 and 1 1/2 in. (2.5 and 3.8 cm) acts as a harmonic

Cisco N-type Lightning Arrestor
This chapter contains the following sections:
Introduction
The Cisco Lightning Arrestor provides a level of safety protection to the user as well as to wireless equipment
by shunting to ground over-voltage transients induced into outdoor antennas and cables. These transients, in
mild cases can produce interfering signals in a wireless system, and in extreme cases, can be dangerous and
destructive.
CHAPTER 4

• Kit Contents, on page 45
• Technical Specifications, on page 46
• Warnings, on page 47
• Installation Considerations, on page 47
• Installing the Lightning Arrestor, on page 47
• Suggested Cables, on page 49
Overvoltage transients can be created through lightning static discharges, switch processes, direct contact
with power lines, or through earth currents. The Cisco Lightning Arrestor limits the amplitude and duration
of disturbing interference voltages and improves the overvoltage resistance of in-line equipment, systems,
and components.
The Lightning Arrestor also provides the following benefits:

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar
with standard practices for preventing accidents. Read the installation instructions before using, installing, or
connecting the system to the power source. Use the statement number at the beginning of each warning
statement to locate its translation in the translated safety warnings for this device.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Statement 1024—Ground Conductor
This equipment must be grounded. To reduce the risk of electric shock, never defeat the ground conductor or
operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical
inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
Installation Considerations
We recommend that you bulkhead mount the lightning arrestor onto the router.
The importance of obtaining a good ground and bonding connection cannot be overstressed. Consider these
points when grounding the lightning arrestor:
• Connect the lightning arrestor components directly to the chassis-mounted bulkhead connector.
• The contact points between the bulkhead connector and the lightning arrestor must be clean and free of
dust and moisture.
• Tighten threaded contacts to the torque specified by the manufacturer.
Installing the Lightning Arrestor
The Cisco Lightning Arrestor must be bulkhead-mounted onto the enclosure or router chassis. The lightning
arrestor must be attached directly onto a well-grounded chassis through the threaded shaft of the lightning
arrestor and the bulkhead adapter.
