Tenda OAP1200 AC1200 Dual-Band Outdoor Access Point – Gigabit PoE, 1167 Mbps

The enclosure is weatherproof, rated IP65, preventing damage from dust and water jets, and protection has been built in for electrical surge events. Power over Ethernet (PoE) support is included, simplifying deployment since power and data can be carried over a single cable. Mounting flexibility is provided with both wall and pole mounting hardware. Reset button and LED indicators are included for easy installation and status monitoring in outdoor or semi-outdoor settings.

Key Features and Explanations

• Dual-Band AC1200 Wireless: Enables concurrent transmission over 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, reducing interference and balancing load between devices for smoother connections.
• High-Gain External Antennas: Two omni-directional antennas improve signal reach and wireless coverage outdoors or in spaces with obstacles.
• Gigabit Ethernet & PoE Support: Ensures that high wired speeds are preserved and that power delivery is simplified using PoE, eliminating nearby power outlets.
• Weatherproof Design with Surge Protection: IP65 protection shields against dust and rain, and built-in surge protection safeguards electronics against lightning and voltage spikes.
• Flexible Mounting Options: Designed for both wall and pole mounting to suit varied outdoor installation environments.
• Low-Power Operation with Practical Features: Power consumption is moderate, and features like a reset button and status LED assist in installation and troubleshooting.
