Introduction to Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point
The Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point is a tri-band 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) AP that provides
reliable wireless connectivity for mission-critical applications as organizations automate processes and
operations. It can operate as Wi-Fi 6 or Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul (Cisco URWB). Wi-Fi 6
technology brings higher density, higher throughput, more channels, power efficiency, and improved security
in industrial or outdoor locations. Cisco URWB provides ultra-reliable wireless connectivity for moving assets
or to extend the network where running fiber isn’t feasible or is too costly.
The Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point comes with three 4x4 radios, in a heavy-duty design
that is IP67 rated, and packed with advanced features.
A full listing of the AP's features and specifications is provided in the Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty
Access Point Data Sheet.
Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point Features

Power Sources
The Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point is supported on these power sources:
• DC power: 24 to 48 VDC
• Power over Ethernet (PoE): 802.3at (PoE+), 802.3bt (PoE++), Cisco Universal PoE (Cisco UPOE). For
more information, see Powering the Access Point, on page 36.
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 Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point supports the following DC power adapters::
• PID: IW-PWRADPT-MFIT4P=: Operating: -40°C to +65°C, 60W.

Power Sources

Power Injectors
The Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point 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.
• AIR-PWRINJ-60RGD1=: Operation: -40°C to +50°C, 60W. Supports 10M/100M/1G rates.
• AIR-PWRINJ-60RGD2=: Operation: -40°C to +50°C, 60W. Supports 10M/100M/1G 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
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, 2.5G BASE-T, or 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. Category 6A
(CAT 6A) cable is needed for 5G rate. The AP senses the Ethernet and power signals and automatically
switches internal circuitry to match the cable connections.
SFP Option
Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008
Warning
The factory-orderable fiber option provides a fiber input and output capability. Fiber data is transmitted and
received over a single or dual-strand fiber cable, depending on the SFP, which is connected to the access point
using these SFP modules:

SFP modules are not hot-swappable. When you plug and unplug the SFP module, a manual reload of the AP
is required.
Note
Client data is passed to the network controller through the fiber connection via a fiber-capable switch or
controller. Configuration information can be found in the controller configuration guide of the switch or
controller you are using.
Antennas and Radios
The Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point configuration is:
• IW9167EH-x
The IW9167EH access point has eight N-type female connectors to support multiple antenna options, such
as the self-identifying antennas (SIA) on designated three SIA ports, 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.

About Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point
Supported External Antennas

Do not connect omnidirectional antennas directly to both ports 1 - 4 and ports 5 - 8. To avoid interference
between the 5 GHz radios, use coaxial cables and mount one set of antennas at least 3 ft. (1 m) vertically away
from the antennas attached directly to the chassis. Omnidirectional antennas may be connected to either ports
1 - 4 or 5 - 8, but not to any combination of both 5 GHz radios' antenna ports simultaneously.
If you connect directional antennas to both 5 GHz radios, space them at least 10 ft. (3 m) apart vertically, or
at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) apart horizontally with their main beams aimed at least 90 degrees apart.
