Cisco Business 145AC Access Point

The Cisco Business 145AC is a compact indoor wireless access point supporting 802.11ac Wave 2 with MU-MIMO. It handles up to 400 simultaneous clients across dual radios and includes a Gigabit uplink, three local Gigabit ports and a passive pass-through RJ-45. Management is handled through the Cisco Business Mobile app without a physical controller.

Verify PoE infrastructure and mounting

Confirm your network switch provides 802.3af or 802.3at PoE to power the unit, or plan for the optional Cisco Business PoE injector. The access point draws a maximum of 8.5 W without PoE out and can supply 802.3af Class 0 power on one local port when powered by 802.3at. Ensure a standard wall-plate opening is available for the included mounting bracket and Torx security screw.

Replaces standalone APs needing controller hardware

This access point upgrades deployments that previously required a dedicated wireless LAN controller by enabling controller-less configuration and optional multisite remote management. The jump is worthwhile when you need to support up to 25 mesh extenders per AP across eight hops and want app-based setup for mixed wired and wireless environments.

Questions about this item

Does the CBW145ACB include mounting hardware and a PoE injector in the box?

The access point includes a Torx security screw for mounting; a PoE injector is optional and sold separately.

Should I choose the CBW145ACB for 5 GHz Wave 2 MU-MIMO or a different model for 2.4 GHz only?

This model supports dual-band 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios simultaneously.

What does the 400-client maximum mean when the AP is connected to a typical office switch?

The AP supports up to 200 clients per radio, totalling 400, and draws 8.5 W maximum without PoE out.
