Datasheet: ProCurve 14 dBi Yagi Antenna

SPECIFICATIONS
ANTENNA LOCATION
The antenna may be mounted at interior or exterior locations. For
link installations, a line-of-sight path betwen antennas works
best. Although 2.4 GHz signals penetrate cubical dividers and
interior partitions with little attenuation, reinforced block walls,
banks of metal cabinets, or steel shelving may attenuate signals
or cause multipath, a condition where reflected signals interfere
with the primary signal. Because antenna beam width is
restricted to 15 degrees each side of center, the J8448B must be
aimed accurately during installation in order to provide optimum
gain and best performance.

DESCRIPTION
The ProCurve J8448B is a complete Kit consisting of a highly
directional 15-element Yagi enclosed in a UV stable weatherproof
radome. This antenna provides extended point-to-point link cov-
erage—or sharply focused zonal coverage—for 2.4-GHz ISM
applications.
SAFETY
The ProCurve J8448B and all associated equipment should be
installed in accordance with applicable local and national electri-
cal code guidelines to ensure safe operation.
IMPORTANT WARNING: Two pairs of weep holes are provided in
the radome: one for vertical mounting and one for horizontal
mounting. You must fill the unused pair of weep holes with
adhesive dots prior to mounting or unwanted leakage into the
radome may result. (see installation instructions)
