Technical specifications

Model

AP-505

802.11n/ac/ax packet aggregation:

A-MPDU, A-MSDU

Transmit power:

Configurable in increments of 0.5 dBm

Maximum (aggregate, conducted total) transmit power (limited by local regulatory requirements):

2.4 GHz band: +21 dBm (18 dBm per chain) 5 GHz band: +21 dBm (18 dBm per chain)

Note: conducted transmit power levels exclude antenna gain. For total (EIRP) transmit power, add antenna gain.

Wi-Fi antennas

AP-505

Two integrated dual-band downtilt omni-directional antennas for 2x2 MIMO with peak antenna gain of 4.9 dBi in 2.4 GHz and 5.7 dBi in 5 GHz. Built-in antennas are optimized for horizontal ceiling mounted orientation of the AP. The downtilt angle for maximum gain is roughly 30 degrees.

• Combining the patterns of each of the antennas of the MIMO radios, the peak gain of the combined, average pattern is 4.3 dBi in 2.4 GHz and

5.6 dBi in 5 GHz.
