Cisco Business 141ACM - Mesh Extender, White

The Cisco Business 141ACM Mesh Extender (CBW141ACM-E-EU) is a network device designed to extend wireless coverage and eliminate dead zones by relaying existing signals. It uses the IEEE 802.11ac standard to provide concurrent dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) connectivity, managing varied device types and traffic loads. The hardware supports a maximum wireless throughput of 867 Mbit/s. Operating as part of a mesh system, the unit ensures consistent coverage throughout small offices, while integrated MU-MIMO technology allows it to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously.

The extender features four integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mbit/s), allowing for the direct connection of hardware such as IP phones or computers without the need for an additional network switch. Designed for desktop placement, the unit weighs 365 grams and uses internal antennas with a 3 dBi gain for indoor signal distribution. Power can be supplied via a DC source or Power over Ethernet (PoE), providing flexibility in locations without nearby wall outlets. Initial configuration is managed via web-based tools, and security is maintained through WPA3 and 802.1X authentication via RADIUS servers.

• Four Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) ports — connect workstations and access points directly to the extender.
• 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO technology — maintain high-speed throughput even when multiple devices are active simultaneously.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) support — deploy the unit in optimal signal areas regardless of proximity to wall sockets.
• Advanced WPA3 and WPA2-Enterprise security — use current encryption standards and RADIUS authentication to protect business-sensitive data.
• Quad-core 710 MHz processor with 512 MB of memory — ensure stable performance and low latency during periods of heavy network traffic.
• Internal 3 dBi antenna array — provide consistent signal reach across indoor environments without external, protruding parts.
• Quality of Service (QoS) support — prioritise critical traffic, such as voice and video calls, over standard web browsing for improved call clarity.
