Wall-Plate Access Point Cudy AC1200 AP1300, Dual-Band 2.4/5 GHz, 1167 Mbit/s, 5x Gigabit Ethernet, White

The Cudy AC1200 AP1300 Wall-Plate Access Point provides compact, wall-mounted dual-band Wi‑Fi and wired connectivity designed for rooms, small offices and hospitality environments. It delivers concurrent 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless networks with a combined maximum throughput of 1167 Mbit/s and integrates five gigabit Ethernet ports for wired devices. The unit supports modern wireless security standards and Power over Ethernet options, offering a tidy installation that keeps cabling and networking sockets accessible at the wall plate.

Advantages

The device combines 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands to balance range and capacity while supporting WPA/WPA2/WPA3 security for encrypted connections. Five gigabit Ethernet LAN ports allow multiple wired devices or downstream switches to connect at full gigabit speeds. PoE compatibility and a PoE passthrough option simplify installation by reducing the need for local power outlets and enable powering of downstream PoE devices such as IP phones or cameras. Compact wall-plate form factor keeps the access point discreet and convenient for wall-mounted deployments.

Suitable for

• Hotel rooms, guest suites and student accommodation where wall-mounted network access is required
• Small offices and meeting rooms needing combined wireless and wired connectivity
• Retrofits in structured-cabling environments where a wall plate with multiple Ethernet ports is preferred
• Deployments requiring PoE power and PoE passthrough to power additional devices

When it may not be suitable

This wall-plate access point is intended for single-room coverage and moderate device density; it is not designed to replace enterprise-grade ceiling or rack-mounted controllers for large open areas or very high-density public spaces. Environments that require advanced centralized controller features or very large coverage areas may need more powerful access point models or additional units to achieve full coverage and capacity.

Key specifications

• Radio: Dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, concurrent operation
• Maximum wireless throughput: 1167 Mbit/s (aggregate)
• Wireless standards: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac with roaming and management features
• Security: WPA, WPA2, WPA3 encryption support
• Ethernet ports: Five gigabit LAN ports with data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s
• PoE: Supports 802.3af/802.3at and passive PoE, with PoE passthrough capability
• Physical: Wall-plate form factor, white color, weight approximately 0.261 kg

How to use

Mount the unit into a standard wall-box or compatible wall-plate opening and connect a PoE-capable switch or injector to the PoE-in Ethernet port to power the access point. Use the built-in management interface or multi-AP management tools provided by the manufacturer to configure SSIDs, security (WPA/WPA2/WPA3), VLANs and wireless parameters. Connect wired devices to the remaining gigabit LAN ports or use the PoE-out port to power a downstream PoE device. Place the access point where it will have minimal obstructions for optimal 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz coverage.

What to consider before purchase

• Coverage needs: suitable for single rooms or small areas, not large open-plan coverage
• PoE source: requires a PoE injector or PoE switch that supports 802.3af/at or passive PoE as used in your setup
• Cabling and wall-box compatibility: ensure a compatible wall-box and structured cabling are available for installation
• Device capacity: supports moderate device counts — verify expected connected devices per room

Usage recommendations

For consistent performance, place the AP on an interior wall of the serviced room and provide a PoE source that matches the unit's power requirements. Configure separate SSIDs or VLANs for guest and private traffic and schedule regular firmware checks and scheduled reboots if needed to maintain stability in multi-AP deployments.
