| ANT-121-002 | Vandal Resistant Low Profile 4G/5G Omni-Directional Screw Mount |
Antenna – 10 ft Coax Lead
General Description
This low profile (~3 inches tall) fixed mount omni-directional antenna is a
solution for today’s state-of-the-art multi-antenna wireless systems (5G &
4G/LTE). It offers 3 to 6 dBi of gain and support for all 4G/5G cellular
frequency bands on AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Bell, Rogers, Telus and other
carriers worldwide.
Ideal for use in vending machines, meter housings, equipment sheds, NEMA
enclosures or other locations requiring a low-profile vandal resistant
external antenna. Also suitable for vehicle mounting on buses, vans, trucks or
other mobile installations.
Permanently mounts via a 1/2 in. (12 mm) hole. Resists vandalism with no
exposed coax cable, high impact ABS radome shell and a thick threaded mounting
post. Includes 10 ft of low-loss LMR 195 coax fed through the center mounting
post. Includes an “L” bracket for optional wall mounting. Completely
waterproof (IP67).
Integrated SMA male plug connectors mate with SMA female jacks found on most
cellular modems and routers.
The 2 lead version of this antenna is part # ANT-121-M22 and the 4×4 MIMO
version is ANT-121-M44
For optimum performance this antenna should be mounted on a flat, horizontal
metal surface at least 8 inches in diameter.
