Components and Topologies
Cables and accessories

Every WLAN deployment is different. When engineering an in-building solution, varying facility sizes, construction materials, and interior divisions raise a host of transmission and multipath considerations. When implementing a building-to-building solution, distance, physical obstructions between facilities, and number of transmission points involved must be accounted for.

Cisco provides a complete solution for any WLAN deployment including cables, mounting hardware, and accessories. First, low-loss cable extends the length between any Cisco Aironet bridge and the antenna. Low-loss cable provides installation flexibility without a significant sacrifice in range. Next, a bulkhead extender is a flexible antenna cable that extends AP cabling typically within an enclosure. In addition to cables, a Yagi articulating mount adds swiveling capability to mast-mounted Yagi antennas. Finally, it is important to prevent damage to the network by using a lightning arrestor which helps prevent damage due to lightning-induced surges or static electricity.
