Antenna Compatibility

The airFiber AF-11 radio is designed for use with the airFiber X antenna model AF-11G35*.

* Check your local/regional regulations for the antenna gain allowed for your application

Installation Requirements

Clear line of sight between airFiber radios
Vertical mounting orientation
Mounting point:

At least 1 m below the highest point on the structure
For tower installations, at least 3 m below the top of the tower

Ground wires – min. 10 AWG (5 mm ) and max. length: 1 m. As a safety precaution,

ground the airFiber radio to grounded masts, poles, towers, or grounding bars.

WARNING:

Failure to properly ground your airFiber radio will void your

warranty.

(Recommended) 2 Outdoor Gigabit PoE surge protectors
