C9105AXI-B Description
C9105AXI-B is a Cisco Catalyst 9105AXI indoor Wi-Fi 6 access point with internal antennas for FCC regulatory-domain deployments. It provides dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless access with 2x2:2 MU-MIMO, IEEE 802.11ax support, and a single 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet uplink, making it suitable for compact indoor access areas that need Catalyst 9100 wireless coverage without an external-antenna AP. Cisco documentation also identifies lightweight controller operation or Embedded Wireless Controller deployment support, 802.3af PoE or 802.3at PoE+ powering, and C9105AXI-x ordering with the regulatory-domain suffix represented by the final letter.

Application Scenarios
C9105AXI-B fits Cisco Catalyst 9105AXI deployments where procurement has already matched the -B regulatory-domain suffix to the installation country and wants the internal-antenna AXI hardware PID.
Use this SKU for small-site or branch WLAN refreshes that need a Cisco Wi-Fi 6 AP with 2×2 radios, one 1G PoE uplink, and controller discovery through a supported Cisco wireless controller environment.
C9105AXI-B is a better fit than the wall-plate 9105AXW family when the site plan uses the AXI low-profile bracket path and does not need wall-plate LAN downlink ports.

Primary order check |

Embedded Wireless Controller image ordering path |
Standard AXI access point PID with -H domain suffix |
- In a C9105AXI-B vs C9105AXI-EWC-B comparison, the main difference is the ordering family: C9105AXI-B follows the C9105AXI-x access point PID pattern, while C9105AXI-EWC-B follows the C9105AXI-EWC-x embedded controller pattern.
- The C9105AXI-B difference is not radio count or uplink speed; both comparison columns remain in the Cisco Catalyst 9105AXI internal-antenna Wi-Fi 6 family with 2×2:2 radios and a 1G Ethernet uplink.
- For buyers comparing C9105AXI-B vs C9105AXI-EWC-B, which model to choose depends on whether the order needs the embedded controller image at purchase time. C9105AXI-H is included as an additional same-family comparison point.
Selection Guide
1. Start with the regulatory suffix
Choose C9105AXI-B only when the -B regulatory-domain suffix is approved for the target country and matches the site compliance plan.
2. Separate hardware PID from EWC PID
Use C9105AXI-B for the standard AXI access point order path; use C9105AXI-EWC-B only when the BOM calls for the embedded wireless controller variant.
3. Confirm the controller baseline
Verify Cisco Unified Wireless Network or Cisco IOS XE controller software support before adding the AP to a production WLAN order.
4. Check PoE and mounting together
Confirm PoE source capability and AIR-AP-BRACKET-8 mounting hardware before the order is finalized because the AP is powered through Ethernet and uses the AXI bracket path.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact PID |
Confirm C9105AXI-B rather than another regulatory suffix |
Cisco uses x as the regulatory-domain placeholder for C9105AXI-x ordering |
|
Regulatory approval |
Verify the -B suffix through Cisco compliance resources for the deployment country |
Cisco states that customers must confirm country approval before use |
|
EWC requirement |
Decide whether the order needs C9105AXI-B or C9105AXI-EWC-B |
Cisco documents C9105AXI-EWC-x as the embedded wireless controller order family |
|
Controller software |
Confirm Cisco Unified Wireless Network 8.10.MR3 or Cisco IOS XE 17.3.1 or later |
Controller software support is required before the AP can join the WLAN environment |
|
PoE source |
Confirm 802.3af or 802.3at power from a switch port or Cisco injector |
Cisco lists PoE and PoE+ powering paths for the 9105AXI access point |
|
Mounting hardware |
Confirm AIR-AP-BRACKET-8 and the required ceiling clip or adapter |
The 9105AXI mounting path differs from the 9105AXW wall-plate bracket path |
