Aruba R0K14A

Overview

The Aruba R0K14A is an outdoor dual-band wireless access point designed to create high-speed bridges between sites without relying on fiber connections. It features a 5 GHz 802.11ac radio for stable coverage and a 60 GHz 802.11ad radio that delivers gigabit throughput under clear conditions. This combination ensures reliable connectivity with throughput exceeding 1 Gbps, making it suitable for outdoor environments where consistent high bandwidth is essential.

Its sealed housing protects against moisture, dust, and extreme temperatures, while built-in industrial surge protection guards against lightning and power spikes. The unit supports flexible power options including PoE, PoE Plus, or direct current input, and can form point-to-point links automatically upon powering up, simplifying installation without the need for specialized tools or alignment.

Key features

• Dual radio design that automatically switches between 5 GHz and 60 GHz bands to maintain optimal performance in varying weather conditions
• Throughput greater than 1 Gbps when the 60 GHz link is clear, providing fast data transfer for demanding outdoor applications
• Supports wireless links up to 400 meters, enabling connectivity across large outdoor spaces such as parking lots or event venues
• Weatherproof and temperature-hardened construction ensures reliable operation in harsh outdoor environments without additional protective enclosures
• Industrial surge protection safeguards the device from lightning strikes and power surges, enhancing durability and uptime
• Flexible power options including Power over Ethernet (PoE), PoE Plus, or direct current input allow easy integration into existing infrastructure
• Automatic point-to-point link formation reduces installation time and complexity, making it accessible for field crews without specialized training

Connectivity and compatibility

This access point is designed to integrate seamlessly into outdoor network setups where fiber is impractical or unavailable. Its dual-band radios provide flexibility to maintain connectivity in changing weather, while the support for PoE and PoE Plus simplifies powering the device through existing network infrastructure. The unit’s automatic link formation means it can quickly establish connections with other compatible Aruba AP-387 units, making it a practical choice for extending network coverage across outdoor areas.

Ideal uses and environments

The Aruba AP-387 is well suited for organizations needing reliable, high-bandwidth wireless links in open-air environments. It works effectively for connecting buildings across parking lots, providing network access at temporary outdoor events, or serving as a backup link when fiber circuits fail. Its rugged design and surge protection make it a strong choice for installations on rooftops, poles, or walls where exposure to weather and electrical disturbances is a concern.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
