Overview

The Cisco Catalyst 9163E is a ruggedized, IP67-rated Wi-Fi 6E access point built for outdoor, industrial, and challenging indoor environments that require external antennas. Four N-type connectors let integrators tailor coverage with directional or omnidirectional antennas, while tri-band 6 GHz support delivers clean spectrum. It uses 2x2 MIMO on each of the three bands for 6 total spatial streams, with a 2.5 Gigabit multigigabit RJ-45 uplink and PoE+ power. This MR variant is managed from the Meraki cloud dashboard, with an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy / IoT radio and a GNSS antenna for AFC-compliant 6 GHz operation.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Cisco Catalyst 9163E Wi-Fi 6E Outdoor/External-Antenna Access Point (CW9163E-MR) cost?

Uniqcli sells the CW9163E-MR for $1,568.09 against a Cisco list price of $3,047.07. 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 CW9163E-MR TAA compliant and available for government and DoD buyers?

Often yes, but it depends on the unit. Cisco manufactures the CW9163E-MR in several countries, so Trade Agreements Act (TAA) status varies by production lot. Uniqcli is an authorized Cisco partner: we confirm the country of origin before shipment, and if a given CW9163E-MR is not TAA-designated, we will source a TAA-certified equivalent of the same model. Either way the result is DoDIN APL-ready procurement for US federal, DoD, state, local, education, healthcare, and enterprise buyers, with Government Purchase Card (GPC) acceptance and FAR-based urgent and emergency acquisition support. Request a TAA-compliant quote for the CW9163E-MR and a specialist will confirm compliance, price, and lead time, usually within one business day.

Can I buy the CW9163E-MR as a single unit or in volume?

Both. Order a single CW9163E-MR 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 CW9163E-MR datasheet and specifications?

The specifications section on this page lists the published specs for the CW9163E-MR, 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 CW9163E-MR TAA-compliant for federal or DoD?

Cisco builds this model in multiple countries, so TAA status depends on the production lot. We confirm country of origin before shipment, and if a unit isn't TAA-designated, we'll quote a TAA-certified equivalent of the same model, DoDIN APL-ready and GPC-payable.
