Environmental

Catalyst 9166

• Nonoperating (storage) temperature: -22° to 158°F (-30° to 70°C)
• Nonoperating (storage) altitude test: 25˚C, 15,000 ft. (4600 m)

• Operating humidity: 10% to 90% (noncondensing)
• Operating altitude test: 40˚C, 9843 ft. (3000 m)

Note: When the ambient operating temperature exceeds 40°C, the access point will shift from 8x8 to 4x4 on the 5 GHz radio, uplink Ethernet will downgrade to 1 Gigabit Ethernet; however, the USB interface will remain enabled.

System memory

• 2048 MB DRAM

Available transmit power settings (Max/Min)

• 2.4 GHz
• 23 dBm (200 mW)
• -4 dBm (0.39 mW)
• 5 GHz
• 26 dBm (400 mW)
• -1 dBm (0.79 mW)
• 6 GHz
• 23 dBm (200 mW)
• -4 dBm (0.39 mW)
• Note: In countries where use of the 6 GHz band is not allowed or there is no current software support, the 6 GHz radio will be disabled. The radio may be enabled with future software, once the product is certified to operate in 6 GHz for that country.
