Cisco Aironet Dual-Band Omnidirectional Antenna (AIR-ANT2568VG-N) is designed for outdoor use with Cisco Aironet Outdoor Access Points (hereafter referred to as access points) with radios operating in the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz frequency bands.
Installation Notes
The antenna is designed to connect to a dedicated antenna port on the access point. No special tools are required to install the antenna.
The antenna is resistant to the full range of outdoor environments. After the antenna is attached to the access point, seal the connections to prevent moisture and other weathering elements from affecting performance. Cisco recommends using a coax seal (such as CoaxSeal) for outdoor connections. Silicone sealant or electrical tape are not recommended for sealing outdoor connections.

Generally, the higher an antenna is above the ground, the better it performs. A practice is to install your antenna about 5 to 10 ft (1.5 to 3 m) above the roof line and away from all power lines and obstructions.
