1400 Series Bridge
Models and options

There are two options for ordering the Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge:

  • Cisco Aironet 1410 Wireless Bridge with 22.5 dBi Antenna, FCC Config
  • Cisco Aironet 1410 Wireless Bridge with N-Type Connector, FCC Config

Figure provides a comparison of the two models.

The captured antenna version features an integrated radio and high-gain integrated antenna for user installations of point-to-point links and the non-root nodes of point-to-multipoint networks. The connectorized version provides professional installers with an N-Type connector that allows the deployment of the root nodes of point-to-multipoint networks with omnidirectional or sector antennas, or of high gain dish antennas for longer links. The external antenna options are:

  • 9.0 dBi vertically polarized omni antenna
  • 9.5 dBi sector antenna with support for vertical or horizontal linear polarization
  • 28.0 dBi dish antenna with support for vertical or horizontal linear polarization
  • The 5 GHz antennas are covered in detail in Module 7.

Rapid deployment and redeployment can be achieved with no reliance upon telecommunications providers nor a lengthy license or trenching process. The 1400 Series bridge allows placement in an outdoor environment without the use of an expensive additional National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) enclosure. In fact, the enclosure has been successfully tested for protection against the ingress of particulate matter and fluids in compliance with a NEMA Type 4 (IP56) enclosure rating. The mounting bracket has been designed to allow installation on poles, walls, and roofs, while also providing a mechanism for choosing the desired polarization.

There are four LED indicators on a bridge. They are Install, Radio, Status, and Ethernet .
