The airFiber AF-11FX 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

Note:

 For guidelines about grounding and lightning protection, follow your

local electrical regulatory codes.

High-Band Duplexer(s) (model AF-11FX-DUP-H) or Low-Band Duplexer(s) (model
AF-11FX-DUP-L) are required for proper operation:

SISO mode: One Duplexer of either band type
MIMO mode: Two Duplexers of the same band type

2

Note:

 Duplexers must be purchased separately. The Duplexer(s) must

match the terms of your license (frequency bands and polarities allowed).
