Cisco Business 145AC Access Point

The Cisco Business 145AC is a dual-band wireless access point supporting IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 with MU-MIMO. It delivers up to 867 Mbps on 5 GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz through integrated antennas. A single Gigabit Ethernet uplink with PoE powers the unit, while three local Gigabit ports provide wired connectivity, one of which can supply 802.3af PoE out when the access point receives 802.3at power.

Small business and branch-office deployments

This access point suits organisations needing a compact, wall-mountable unit that can be powered over Ethernet and extend PoE to a downstream device such as an IP phone or camera. It is not suited for environments requiring controller-based management, mesh backhaul, or outdoor-rated enclosures. Buyers who need multiple radios for high-density venues or dedicated scanning radios should evaluate other product lines.

PoE-out capability on a local port

The defining specification is the ability to deliver 802.3af Class 0 power from one of the three local Gigabit ports when the access point itself is powered by 802.3at. This allows a single cable run to serve both the access point and a PoE-powered endpoint, reducing cabling cost and complexity in retrofit installations.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the CBW145AC-B is operating correctly after installation?

The Status LED shows boot loader status, association status, operating status, boot loader warnings and boot loader errors. A solid operating-status light means the AP is up and passing traffic.

What ships with the CBW145AC-B and what must I source separately?

The box contains the access point with integrated 2.4 GHz (2 dBi) and 5 GHz (3 dBi) antennas and a mounting bracket. You must supply a PoE+ (802.3at) injector or switch for full PoE-out on the local port, or a 802.3af source if PoE-out is not needed.

Which CBW145AC-B variant should I choose for a small office needing up to 867 Mbps on 5 GHz?

The single CBW145AC-B model delivers 802.11ac Wave 2 with MU-MIMO, 867 Mbps maximum 5 GHz rate and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, covering the stated requirement in one SKU.
