C9115AXE-E Description

Cisco C9115AXE-E is an indoor, controller-based Wi-Fi 6 access point with external antenna connectors for challenging RF environments that need directional or higher-gain antennas. It delivers 4×4:4 MIMO on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, implementing uplink/downlink OFDMA, MU-MIMO, BSS Coloring, and Target Wake Time to maximize efficiency, capacity, and client battery life in dense deployments. Hardware includes a 2.5G mGig uplink (IEEE 802.3bz, Cat5e-ready), USB 2.0, RJ-45 console, Bluetooth 5.0, and RP-TNC antenna connectors. Power options include 802.3at PoE+ and Cisco UPOE(+); under 802.3af it runs in reduced-feature mode (2×2 both bands, 1G uplink, USB off). The AP operates from −20 to 50 °C and integrates with Cisco Catalyst 9800 series and supported AireOS controllers (AireOS 8.9+; IOS-XE 16.11+).

Model Selection Guide – C9115AXE-E

  • Choose C9115AXE-E when you need external antennas for directional coverage, long corridors, high-ceiling spaces, or mixed indoor areas with obstructions where internal antennas are sub-optimal.
  • If you don’t need antenna flexibility and prefer a compact unit, consider C9115AXI-E (internal antennas, smaller chassis, 0–50 °C).
  • For small/medium sites seeking on-AP control without a separate WLC, consider C9115AXI-EWC-E (embedded wireless controller image). Ensure your WLC software meets AireOS 8.9+ or IOS-XE 16.11+ before rollout.

Questions & Answers

  • When should I choose C9115AXE-E external-antenna AP instead of C9115AXI-E?

    Select C9115AXE-E for directional coverage: long aisles, high ceilings, or outdoor-adjacent spaces. External antennas let you shape patterns, reduce bleed-over, and improve SNR in challenging RF geometries.
  • What antenna options pair well with C9115AXE-E?

    Use patch or directional antennas for aisles, downtilt omnis for high ceilings, and specialized antennas for outdoor canopies. Always match connectors, observe gain limits, and follow local EIRP regulations.
  • Does C9115AXE-E still support WPA3 and modern roaming?

    Yes. WPA3, 802.11r/k/v, and OFDMA/MU-MIMO are supported with Catalyst 9800. Directional antennas improve cell boundaries, helping clients roam decisively under load.
  • Any special mounting considerations for C9115AXE-E?

    Yes. Aim antennas appropriately, mind cable strain relief, and weather-seal where needed in semi-outdoor areas. Keep antenna leads short to minimize loss and maintain pattern integrity.
  • How does power planning differ from AXI?

    PoE+ is still recommended, but ANT gain may reduce required transmit power for coverage. Validate link budgets and ensure switch power reserves for many APs in one closet.
  • Can I mix C9115AXE-E with AXI models on the same floor?

    Absolutely. Use AXI for open offices and AXE for problem spots like warehouses or atriums. Keep consistent SSIDs and policies so client experience remains seamless.
  • What survey method suits C9115AXE-E?

    Perform a predictive survey using the exact antenna patterns, then validate with an active survey. Adjust downtilt and orientation on-site to eliminate dead zones.
  • Is DNA Center helpful with AXE deployments?

    Yes. It speeds consistent provisioning and provides Assurance insights on retries and SNR, flagging mis-aimed antennas or reflections early.
