Overview
The Cisco Catalyst 9162I is a compact, cost-effective Wi-Fi 6E access point ideal for offices, classrooms, clinics, and small-to-midsize deployments that still need 6 GHz performance. Its smaller footprint suits ceiling and wall mounting in space-constrained areas. It uses three 2x2 radios across 2.4/5/6 GHz for 6 total spatial streams, with a 2.5 Gigabit multigigabit RJ-45 uplink and PoE+ power. This controller-managed (-B) variant integrates with a Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series controller for unified policy and monitoring; an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy radio supports location services.
Highlights
- Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) tri-band with 6 GHz in a compact form factor; 6 spatial streams (2x2 per band)
- 2.5G multigigabit RJ-45 uplink, PoE+ (802.3at) powered
- Controller-managed (-B) for Catalyst 9800 on-prem WLC deployments
- Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy radio for location services
- TAA-compliant and Government Purchase Card (GPC) eligible
- Government Purchase Card (GPC) accepted

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Cisco Catalyst 9162I Wi-Fi 6E Compact Access Point (CW9162I-B) cost?
Uniqcli sells the CW9162I-B for $942.62 against a Cisco list price of $1,655.14. Add it to your cart and submit to confirm current pricing, stock, and lead time. Lower pricing is available for volume orders, Government Purchase Card (GPC) buys, and emergency or urgent acquisitions. Free US shipping on orders over $2,500.00.
Is the CW9162I-B TAA compliant and available for government and DoD buyers?
It depends on the unit. Cisco manufactures the CW9162I-B in several countries, so Trade Agreements Act (TAA) status is decided per part number and production lot. Uniqcli is an authorized Cisco partner: where Cisco offers a TAA-designated version (usually a ++ part number) we quote that, we confirm the country of origin before shipment, and we attach a country-of-origin statement on request. That is how US federal, DoD, state, local, education, and healthcare buyers get an audit-ready file, with Government Purchase Card (GPC) acceptance and FAR-based urgent and emergency acquisition support. Request a TAA-compliant quote for the CW9162I-B and a specialist will confirm the TAA option, price, and lead time, usually within one business day.
Can I buy the CW9162I-B as a single unit or in volume?
Both. Order a single CW9162I-B through the cart, or ask about lower pricing for volume orders, Government Purchase Card (GPC) purchases, and emergency or urgent (FAR-based) acquisitions. There is no payment up front: we confirm availability and the final total before invoicing.
Where can I find the CW9162I-B datasheet and specifications?
The specifications section on this page lists the published specs for the CW9162I-B, including ports, power, and dimensions where Cisco publishes them. Ask us for the full Cisco datasheet and we will send the current PDF with your quote.
Need the CW9162I-B TAA-compliant for federal or DoD?
Cisco builds this model in multiple countries, so TAA status is decided per part number and production lot. Where Cisco offers a TAA-designated version (usually a ++ part number) we quote that, confirm the country of origin before shipment, and attach the paperwork. GPC-payable. Check the TAA line →
