Re: Cisco Air-ANT2506 vs Cushcraft S2403B. Are they identical?

Gary,

The antennas are physically indistinguishable except for the Cushcraft label
(which I assume is on both Cisco and Cushcraft antennas). All the connectors
are the same. I tried calling Cisco, but found out I would need a
maintenance agreement to speak with someone there.

The only difference I could find between the two antennas is that the
Cushcraft label on the antenna I sold indicated it was 3dbi and the Cisco
claims to be 5.2dbi. However, google indicates several pages that use the
two model numbers interchangeably, including some forum posts from users
that ordered the Cisco part number and received the same Cushcraft antenna I
sold, so that's where the confusion comes in.

I was basing my claim on something a friend told me a few years ago. He
works for Cisco and is CCIE certified so I assumed he knew what he was
talking about.

Thanks for your suggestion.
