C9115AXI-C Description
The C9115AXI-C is a Cisco Catalyst 9115AX Series indoor Wi-Fi 6 access point with internal antennas for controller-based wireless in the C regulatory domain. The access point has dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios with 4x4 MIMO, four integrated antennas at 3 dBi and 4 dBi, and one 100/1000/2500 Multigigabit Ethernet uplink that draws 20.4W of 802.3at power. On 802.3af power the radios drop to 2x2, the uplink to 1G and USB is disabled.

Application Scenarios
In an open office, the C9115AXI-C mounts on the ceiling and covers desks with its four internal dual-band antennas, so no external antennas need cabling.
A school or training center can place the C9115AXI-C in classrooms, where its 4×4 Wi-Fi 6 radios serve many laptops and tablets on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
On a wiring-closet switch with 802.3at PoE+ ports, the C9115AXI-C joins a Catalyst 9800 controller and uses its 2.5G Ethernet uplink to carry the full 4×4 radio traffic.

C9115AXI-C and C9115AXE-C are both Wi-Fi 6 4×4 access points with the -C suffix, and the antenna hardware separates them: C9115AXI-C has four integrated dual-band antennas at 3 dBi on 2.4 GHz and 4 dBi on 5 GHz, while C9115AXE-C has four RP-TNC connectors for external dual-band antennas certified up to 6 dBi. Designs that need external antennas should order C9115AXE-C, whose 802.3at draw is listed at 21.4W against 20.4W for C9115AXI-C, a difference that counts when a switch PoE budget is tight. The -H suffix is the only table difference between C9115AXI-C and C9115AXI-H, so a site in the -H regulatory domain orders C9115AXI-H instead.
Ordering Checklist
- Access point subscription: Order one LIC-CW-E (Essentials) or LIC-CW-A (Advantage) unified subscription for each access point joining a Catalyst CW9800 controller. The access point needs it to join, and the unified license also needs IOS-XE 17.15.x or later on the controller.
