7.7.1 Installing
an
Omni-directional Antenna
An omni-directional antenna may be mounted directly to the Client using the following procedure:
1.
Connect an N-type male to male RF adapter (not included) to the omni-directional antenna. Hand
tighten the connector.
All cables and connectors must be capable of passing frequencies up to 5.2 GHz with minimal loss.
Total cable length should not exceed 5 feet to further reduce loss characteristics.
2.
For non-hardened Clients, external lightning protection is required to provide maximum protection to
the site. Connect the optional lightning suppressor to the antenna assembly as shown in Figure 7-1.
Recommend using M/A-COM # PT-009560.
3.
Connect the completed antenna assembly to the Client antenna connector.
