The IW6300 carries an IP67 rating and Class I, Division/Zone 2 certification, as well as a temperature rating of -40 to +75 degrees Celsius, making it an ideal mesh network component for heavy industry use. Additional customization beyond antenna and mounting options include WirelessHART, ISA100.11a, GPS, Bluetooth Low-Energy, and Zigbee modules, as well as customer or partner-built modules for specific use cases.
What are the operating temperature ranges for the Cisco IW-6300H-AC-B-K9?
The Cisco IW-6300H-AC-B-K9 operates reliably in demanding environments with temperature ranges from -40° to +70°C (-40° to +158°F) under solar load and still air conditions. For extended operating scenarios with DC power, the temperature range extends to -50° to +75°C (-58° to +167°F) without solar loading. We offer this industrial wireless access point for deployments requiring robust environmental performance.
What surge and electrical protection does the IW-6300H-AC-B-K9 provide?
This Cisco industrial wireless AP includes comprehensive surge protection with ±2 kV protection on Ethernet ports and ±1 kV protection on SFP copper ports with shielded cable. It also features CISPR35 compliance with ±0.5 kV line-to-earth protection, ensuring your network infrastructure is safeguarded against electrical transients. Contact us today to discuss protection requirements for your specific deployment.
Can the Cisco IW-6300H-AC-B-K9 withstand extreme weather conditions?
Yes, the IW-6300H-AC-B-K9 is engineered for harsh outdoor environments with wind resistance rated up to 160 mph (257 km/h) sustained winds and operating altitude capability to 15,000 ft (4,500 m). It also handles full humidity ranges from 0% to 100% condensing conditions, making it ideal for industrial and outdoor wireless deployments.
