The **FAP-D5-R** (FortiAP D5-R) is a high-performance, ruggedized outdoor wireless access point. It is designed to operate in harsh environments while providing enterprise-grade connectivity. Below is an overview of its core electronic components and technical specifications. --- ### 1. Core Hardware Specifications The FAP-D5-R is built on a high-speed processing architecture designed to handle high-density traffic and complex encryption. | Component | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Standard** | IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 (Wi-Fi 5) | | **Radios** | Dual Radio (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) + 1 dedicated Scanning Radio | | **MIMO Support** | 4x4 MU-MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) | | **Throughput** | 800 Mbps (2.4 GHz) + 1733 Mbps (5 GHz) | | **PoE Support** | 802.3at (PoE+) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features #### A. Radio Configuration The device contains three distinct radio chipsets: * **Radio 1:** Dedicated to the 2.4 GHz band for legacy device support and range. * **Radio 2:** Dedicated to the 5 GHz band for high-speed data transmission. * **Radio 3:** A dedicated **scanning radio** used for security (WIDS/WIPS) and spectrum analysis without interrupting client traffic. #### B. Antenna System The unit features **RP-SMA connectors** for external antennas. This allows for the use of: * **Omni-directional antennas** for broad coverage. * **Sector/Directional antennas** for long-range point-to-point or targeted coverage. #### C. Connectivity Ports The physical interface board includes: * **1x 10/100/1000 Base-T RJ45 Port:** Main uplink with PoE input. * **1x 10/100/1000 Base-T RJ45 Port:** Secondary port for daisy-chaining or data. * **Console Port:** Typically an RJ45 or Micro-USB for local management and debugging. --- ### 3. Environmental Protection (Ruggedization) The "R" in the model name stands for **Ruggedized**. The electronics are protected by: * **IP67 Rating:** The enclosure is completely dust-tight and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter. * **Industrial Temperature Range:** Internal components are rated to operate from **-40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F)**. * **Surge Protection:** Built-in TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors) to protect sensitive silicon from lightning strikes or power surges common in outdoor deployments. --- ### 4. Power Specifications The device does not typically use a standard DC barrel jack; instead, it relies on **Power over Ethernet (PoE)**. ```yaml Power_Input: 802.3at (PoE+) Max_Power_Consumption: 24.5 Watts Recommended_Injector: GPI-130 (Gigabit PoE Injector) ```
