2.2.4.2 Wiring Antenna
Antenna Socket on device - N-type female
The antenna socket is N-type female and located on the top of the device. The
antenna is usually installed in the upper/upward position. You can install the
external antennas or you can install an antenna cables to connect to a long-distance antenna.
Antenna/Antenna Cable - N-type male
You can wire the waterproof antenna with N-type Male connector directly to the
N-female socket on the top of the device. For safely installation, it is usually applied for
short length, lower gain omni-antenna.
You can also Wire extended antenna cable with N-type Male connector to connect the
external antenna.
Please noted that the longer RF cable must cause more signal lost, the shorter the more suitable. The RF
cable quality is also important for the extended antenna installation.
We
recommend the high quality RF cable, for example the
RF400 50ohm LOW
LOSS COAXIAL CABLE with UV RESISTANCE.
Note: In field installation, the RF Surge Arrestor is also important for product safety.
RF Surge Arrestors
RF surge arrester is also known as cable free coaxial lightning
arrestors/suppressors. It is used for antenna feeder equipment,
it can protect the communication device from the lightning
strike. The arrestor features an N-type male and an N-type
female connector to connect the extended RF cable. An earth
bond connection must be created using the shortest path to the
ground.
