C9105AXI-E Description
C9105AXI-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9105 Series indoor Wi-Fi 6 access point with internal antennas for controller-based campus and branch wireless access in the European regulatory domain. The C9105AXI platform uses dual-band dual-concurrent 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios with a 2x2:2 SS MU-MIMO profile, supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax clients, and connects through a single 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet uplink. Cisco documentation lists the C9105AXI-E model in the European Community and EFTA records, identifies C9105AXI-x as the regulatory-domain ordering pattern, and confirms 802.3af PoE or 802.3at PoE+ powering for indoor ceiling-oriented deployments.

Application Scenarios
C9105AXI-E fits Catalyst 9105AXI projects where the hardware PID must match Cisco’s -E model listing for European Community and EFTA country approval checks.
Use this SKU when a branch or compact campus area needs an internal-antenna Wi-Fi 6 AP that joins a supported Cisco wireless controller instead of ordering the embedded-controller PID.
C9105AXI-E suits designs that follow the AXI ceiling-mount bracket path and do not require the wall-plate LAN-port layout of the C9105AXW family.

Order distinction |
Standard AXI access point PID |
AXI PID with embedded wireless controller image |
Teleworker AXIT ordering path with infrastructure kit |
- In a C9105AXI-E vs C9105AXI-EWC-E comparison, the practical difference is the software-image order path: C9105AXI-E follows the standard AXI PID, while C9105AXI-EWC-E is the Embedded Wireless Controller variant.
- The C9105AXI-E vs C9105AXIT-E difference is the ordering family and deployment bundle scope; the AXIT model is Cisco’s teleworker order path, while C9105AXI-E remains the standard indoor AXI access point.
- For buyers comparing C9105AXI-E with the EWC or AXIT alternatives, which model to choose should be tied to controller architecture and whether the order requires an embedded-controller image or teleworker kit scope.
Selection Guide
1. Confirm the -E model record first
Choose C9105AXI-E only when the installation country and compliance check align with Cisco’s -E model listing for the 9105AXI family.
2. Keep EWC orders separate
Select C9105AXI-EWC-E instead when the BOM specifically calls for the Embedded Wireless Controller image at purchase time.
3. Use AXIT only for teleworker scope
Move to C9105AXIT-E only when the procurement request names Cisco’s teleworker AXIT order path rather than the standard indoor AXI access point.
4. Validate controller and power readiness
Confirm supported Cisco controller software and PoE sourcing before adding C9105AXI-E to a production WLAN order.
Ordering Checklist
|
Procurement Area |
Required Check |
Risk Controlled |
|---|---|---|
|
Regulatory-domain match |
Match C9105AXI-E to the installation region before releasing the AP line item |
The suffix is not interchangeable across countries because Cisco treats x as the regulatory-domain placeholder |
|
Controller plan |
Confirm Catalyst 9800 or supported AireOS controller readiness with the required software baseline |
The AP must discover and join a supported controller before it can serve WLAN clients |
|
Embedded controller decision |
Keep C9105AXI-EWC-E as a separate order if the design requires the EWC software image |
Cisco lists the embedded-controller order family separately from C9105AXI-x |
|
Teleworker kit boundary |
Use C9105AXIT-E only when the request names the AXIT teleworker ordering path |
AXIT is not the same standard indoor AXI PID as C9105AXI-E |
|
Power and mount kit |
Verify PoE switch or injector power together with AIR-AP-BRACKET-8 and the required ceiling clip |
The 9105AXI receives power through Ethernet and follows the AXI low-profile bracket path |
