Cisco Aironet Four-Port Dual-Band
Polarization-Diverse Antenna
(AIR-ANT2513P4M-N)
This document describes the AIR-ANT2513P4M-N antenna and provides electrical specifications and mounting instructions.
The antenna is a four-port polarization-diverse patch array that operates over the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz Wi-Fi bands. It ships with
an articulating mount for use on flat surfaces and masts and is adjustable in both the horizontal and vertical planes. The radome
is paintable using commonly available non-conductive spray paints, such as Krylon or Rust-Oleum. The antenna is designed for
use in indoor and outdoor environments with Cisco Aironet 3702P and 1570 series access points.

  • Page 9 Cisco Aironet Four-Port Dual-Band Polarization-Diverse Antenna (AIR-ANT2513P4M-N) To mount the antenna on a pole or mast, you will need either or both of these supplies:  Slotted screwdriver to tighten the screws on the hose clamps  A 5/16 in. (8mm) socket or box wrench NOTE: The pole or mast must be rigid enough to hold the weight of the antenna plus the associated forces produced by wind loads.

    NOTE: Before painting the antenna, cover the pressure-release vent on the rear, lower-left of the antenna with masking tape to prevent clogging (Figure Cisco recommends Krylon Fusion for Plastic or Rust-Oleum for Plastic (which might require a primer coat). For best results, follow the surface preparation suggestions from the paint manufacturer.
