The Cisco 1602E operates concurrently on 2.4 GHz (802.11g/n) and 5 GHz (802.11a/n), delivering up to 300 Mbps aggregate data rates for both bands.
NK9 denotes the regulatory domain set to North America and excludes advanced encryption software licenses, offering native WPA2-PSK and 802.1X security without additional crypto features.
SKU AIR-SAP1602E-NK9-5 ships as a factory-configured package of five standalone Cisco 1602E access points, ready for immediate deployment.
No, the 1602E is a standalone access point series designed for single-site deployments and offers local web-based GUI and CLI management without a controller.
Yes, the 1602E features two RP-TNC connectors per radio for external omnidirectional or directional antennas, allowing custom coverage patterns.
Each Cisco 1602E typically covers up to 100–120 feet (30–37 m) indoors, depending on building materials, AP placement, and external antenna selection.
The AP supports 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) and 12 VDC input, providing flexible deployment in ceilings, walls, or network closets.
Cisco supplies optional ceiling-mount and wall-mount brackets; the AP’s low-profile design seamlessly integrates into drop ceilings or onto flat surfaces.
