C9124AXD-X Overview
The Cisco Catalyst C9124AXD-X is an enterprise-grade outdoor Wi-Fi 6 access point designed for high-performance directional coverage. With its ruggedized form factor and flexible mounting options, the C9124AXD-X delivers reliable wireless connectivity in harsh outdoor locations.
This 802.11ax model has internal directional antennas and supports 160MHz channel bandwidth and 4×4 MU-MIMO to provide wireless speeds up to 5.4Gbps. The dual-polarized directional antennas focus signals in specific directions for long-range point-to-point links. The access point is IP66/IP67 rated for protection against dust, rain and extreme temperatures.
With support for advanced features like BSS Coloring, OFDMA and Target Wake Time, the Cisco C9124AXD-X can efficiently handle high client densities. It has an integrated BLE 5 radio for location services and supports PoE/UPOE for flexible deployments. The access point integrates with Cisco DNA Center and can be managed by Cisco Catalyst 9800 wireless controllers.
