FAP-432G-N directional antenna support

Hi, I'd like to know what directional antennas are supported by FAP-432G-N.

You will want to check with your SE or sales rep, they will have the most recent information.  According to the datasheets, the FANT-04BEAX-0606-P-R looks to be the only antenna that is tri band support, but would require RPSMA to N adapter.

Thanks, but I would like to use this antenna because it has 9dB gain.

- FANT-06ACAX-8509-D-N* - 2.4/5GHz 8.5dBi/9dBi Wi-Fi patch high gain Antenna with 6 N-Style Connectors. 

It has 6 N-connectors and FAP-432G has 8 N-connectors

Do you not plan on using the 6ghz in the FAP-432G?

No, not in this case

Ok, in that case, you probably would have to get 2 of these antennas.  You typically can use a 6 antenna panel on a 4 antenna AP and just leave two disconnected.  

For the 432G according to the datasheet (https://www.fortinet.com/content/dam/fortinet/assets/data-sheets/pdf/fortiap-series.pdf#page=4) there is: Dual Band Antenna (4); Tri Band Antenna (4);,

So in theory, that would work, but you will want to talk to an SE for sure to get exact specs on which antenna is which.
