Maximum Flexibility for Any Environment
The Cudy AP1300 was designed for maximum adaptability. Thanks to support for PoE (Power over Ethernet), you can easily power it and transmit data via a single Ethernet cable. This makes installation particularly flexible, as you don't need an additional power outlet nearby. Whether Ceiling Mounting or Wall Mounting – the included mounting kit allows for discreet integration into any indoor environment. It also offers various operating modes such as AP, Router, Repeater, and WISP, so you can adapt it precisely to your needs to optimally expand your Network.
Business Features Your Network Will Love
This WiFi Access Point is packed with intelligent features that elevate your network to a new level. With MU-MIMO and Beamforming, data is sent more efficiently to multiple devices simultaneously, significantly improving throughput and performance under heavy load. Band Steering ensures that your devices always use the optimal frequency band, while Multiple SSIDs allow you to set up separate networks for different user groups. The integrated Guest Network (Captive Portal) is perfect for businesses that want to offer their visitors secure and controlled internet access. And for a truly uninterrupted experience, the AP1300 supports Mesh Wi-Fi and seamless roaming when integrated into an existing Cudy Mesh network. For advanced features like Captive Portal, a Cudy Access Point Controller is required as a gateway.
Easy Integration, Strong Performance
The Cudy AP1300 is not only powerful but also easy to integrate. It is the perfect addition to extend WiFi coverage in your existing network. With its Gigabit Ethernet port, it is ready for high data rates and ensures that your network doesn't falter even with demanding applications. Whether you are building a new network or optimizing an existing one, this Access Point delivers the performance and reliability you expect. Note that for advanced features such as Captive Portal or Self-Organizing Mesh, a Cudy PoE Injectors / Power Supplies is required as a gateway, which is sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does 'AC1200 Dual-Band' mean for the Cudy AP1300?
'AC1200 Dual-Band' means that your Cudy AP1300 simultaneously uses two Wi-Fi frequency bands: the 2.4 GHz band with a maximum speed of 300 Mbps and the 5 GHz band with up to 867 Mbps. The sum of these speeds results in a theoretical total bandwidth of 1167 Mbps, which is often rounded to 'AC1200'. The 5 GHz band offers you higher speeds and is less susceptible to interference.
Can the Cudy AP1300 be powered via a single cable?
Yes, your Cudy AP1300 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) according to 802.3af/at standards as well as passive PoE (24-57V). This allows you to power the device via the same Ethernet cable you use for data transmission, simplifying installation and eliminating the need for additional power cables.
