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
