Dimensions (WxLxH)

Access point (without mounting brackets): C9115I: 8.0 x 8.0 x 1.5 in. (20.3 x 20.3 x 3.8 cm), C9115E: 8.0 x 8.0 x 1.7 in. (20.3 x 20.3 x 4.3 cm)

Input power requirements

802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), 802.3bt Cisco Universal PoE (Cisco UPOE+, Cisco UPOE ®)
Cisco power injector, AIR-PWRINJ6=
802.3af PoE
Cisco power injector, AIR-PWRINJ5= (Note: This injector supports only 802.3af)
Note: When 802.3af PoE is the source of power, both 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radios will be reduced to 2x2 and Ethernet downgraded to 1 Gigabit Ethernet. In addition, the USB port will be off.

Environmental

Cisco Catalyst 9115AXE
Nonoperating (storage) temperature: -22° to 158°F (-30° to 70°C)
Nonoperating (storage) altitude test: 25˚C, 15,000 ft.
Operating temperature: -4° to 122°F (-20° to 50°C)
Operating humidity: 10% to 90% (noncondensing)
Operating altitude test: 40˚C, 9843 ft.
Note: When the ambient operating temperature exceeds 40°C, the access point will shift from 4x4 to 2x2 on both the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radios, uplink Ethernet will downgrade to 1 Gigabit Ethernet, and the USB interface will be disabled.
