Proprietary and Confidential
Antenna Specifications - 100
Specifications for the standard (unity gain) endpoint antenna and high gain antenna are
shown in the following table.
Important All coaxial cable connections must be properly weather-proofed per
industry standards unless otherwise specified. This includes any connections for
the antennas and the CCU/Repeater components. If the CCU/Repeater is installed
indoors, only the connections located outside need to be weather-proofed.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below that have a
maximum gain of 8.15 dBi. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than
8.15 dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is
50 ohms.

representative.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be
so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that
permitted for successful communication.
