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).
Connect the unit only to DC power source that complies with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
requirements in IEC 60950 based safety standards. Statement 1033
Warning
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.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 24 AWG or larger telecommunications line cord. Statement 1023
Warning
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).
Caution

About Cisco Catalyst IW9165D Heavy Duty Access Point
Power Sources

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.
The AP senses the Ethernet and power signals, and automatically switch internal circuitry to match the cable
connections.
Tip
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 24 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord. Statement 1023
Danger
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,
on page 8.
The IW9165D is also equiped with an internal directional antenna. For more information, see IW9165D
(Internal Antenna) Radiation Patterns, on page 10.
Supported External Antennas
See Connectors and Ports, on page 2 for the antenna ports of the IW9165D access point.
