ProCurve 6 dBi 5GHz Omnidirectional antenna
J8998A
Please read all instructions carefully before attempting to install
and use this product.
SAFETY
The J899A and all associated equipment should be installed in accor-
dance with applicable local and national electrical code guidelines to
ensure safe operation.
LOCATION
For best results, mount the J8998A at ceiling or roof level near the
center of the coverage area. A line-of-sight path between the antenna
and active floor location generally works best. Although 5.0 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 cuse multipath (a condition where reflected signals
interfere with the primary signal). Avoid mounting next to a column or
vertical support that could create a shadow one of reduced coverage to
one portion of the room. Each antenna comes with a ceiling-tile support-
runner mount and a U-bolt style pole mount.
APPLICATIONS
The J8998A is a ruggedized, high-performance omnidirectional collinear
antenna used for 5.0 GHz RF-distribution systems. Its flattened radiation
pattern focuses energy along the horizontal plane to provide extended
coverage in large rooms or vaulted areas (see Figure 1). The J8998A may
also be pole-mounted for use in exterior locations.
