There are also antennas specifically designed for use with our multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) access
points, such as the Cisco Aironet 1252 Access Point. These antennas are built for each band, and they each
contain three antennas, again simplifying installation and providing a clean look when a large number of antennas
are deployed. Cisco’s MIMO antennas are ceiling-mount, omnidirectional antennas designed to mount to standard
grid ceiling systems. Figure 18 shows the
Cisco Aironet 3-dBi Omnidirectional Antenna (AIR-ANT2430V-R)
and
the
Cisco Aironet 4-dBi Omnidirectional Antenna (AIR-ANT5140V-R)
. All Cisco 5-GHz antennas can be identified
by their blue marker on the cables or by the blue heat shrink on the connectors, whereas the 2.4 GHz antennas
have no marker on the cable and use standard black heat shrink.
