SES RPWIFITEC/CAT, WIFI NETWORK INTERFACE CARD KIT WITH ANTENNA, All TEC, TEC1, and CAT with or without weatherhood
The SES RPWIFITEC/CAT is a WiFi network interface card kit with antenna for compatible SES TEC and CAT family units. It is the broader TEC/CAT version in this batch and should be kept separate from the TEC1A-only T1A WiFi kits.
This part is used when a telephone entry or access-control unit needs network communication and WiFi is the approved connection method for the site. It does not turn a non-networkable system into a different product family, and it is not a substitute for a modem, cellular router, reader board, or MUI board. Confirm the model family, installed cabinet, antenna routing, and programming requirements before ordering.

- TEC and CAT units with or without weatherhoods when the kit is correct for the cabinet
- Not for T1A without checking RPWIFIT1A or RPWIFIT1AWH
- Not for SG, SAT, DKP, or non-network SES products unless verified

Technician Note
Use this broader TEC/CAT WiFi kit only when the installed panel is in the supported TEC/CAT family. Do not assume it fits T1A-specific or SG/SAT equipment.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the exact SES model family: TEC, TEC1, or CAT.
- Verify weatherhood/cabinet layout and antenna routing.
- Confirm WiFi signal quality at the unit.
- Confirm whether the site needs WiFi, hardwired Ethernet, modem, or cellular communication.
- Check current SES parts references for the installed generation.
Professional Advisory
Network configuration may require administrator access, software setup, and careful outdoor signal planning. For intermittent network issues, diagnose signal strength and power before replacing hardware.
Product Questions & Answers
Which SES units is RPWIFITEC/CAT written for?
It is written for compatible TEC, TEC1, and CAT family units when this WiFi kit is specified.
Is this the same as RPWIFIT1A?
No. RPWIFIT1A and RPWIFIT1AWH are T1A/TEC1A-specific WiFi kit references. RPWIFITEC/CAT is the broader TEC/CAT kit.
Can this replace NIC3?
Not automatically. NIC3 is a plug-in TCP/IP card reference, while this row is for a WiFi network interface kit with antenna.
Does it work with a weatherhood?
The uploaded product name states all TEC, TEC1, and CAT with or without weatherhood, but the installed cabinet and antenna path should still be checked.
Will this improve weak WiFi?
It provides the interface and antenna kit, but it cannot overcome poor site signal by itself. Confirm network coverage at the entry unit.
