Antenna Compatibility
The airFiber AF-11G35 antenna is designed for use with the airFiber radio model AF-11*.
* Check your local/regional regulations for the allowable antenna gain allowed for your application.
Installation Requirements
- 12 mm, 15 mm, and 17 mm wrench (pre-assembly and pole-mounting tool)
- airFiber AF-11 radio (sold separately) with duplexer(s) installed
- Clear line of sight between airFiber radios
- Vertical mounting orientation
- Mounting point:
- At least 1 m below the highest point on the structure
- For tower installations, at least 3 m below the top of the tower
- Ground wires – min. 10 AWG (5 mm2) and max. length: 1 m. As a safety precaution, ground the airFiber radios to grounded masts, poles, towers, or grounding bars.
WARNING: Failure to properly ground your airFiber radio will void your warranty.
- (Recommended) 2 Outdoor Gigabit PoE surge protectors
Note: For guidelines about grounding and
lightning protection, follow your local electrical regulatory codes. - (Optional) If not using PoE: DC power source and 12/30 AWG power cable.
- Outdoor, shielded Category 6 (or above) cabling and shielded RJ-45 connectors are required for all wired Ethernet connections.
Hardware Overview
OMT (OrthoMode Transducer) |
---|
The OMT has two ports used to attach the RF cable(s) from the radio. The OMT is also used to change the polarization from H/V to ± 45º. |
Metal Cap |
For SISO mode, this cap must be installed on the unused OMT port. |
OMT
The OMT (OrthoMode Transducer) is located on the back of the antenna. The default polarization is H and V.
Note: If you only need to use one port, keep the other one covered with the included Metal Cap. |
To use ±45° slant polarization:
Note: ±45° slant polarization is not permitted in all regulatory regions. Please consult local regulations. |
Hardware Installation
- Connect the RF Cable(s) (one in SISO mode, two in MIMO mode) to the radio as shown below.
Note: For SISO mode, use the RF connector (H or V) as determined by your licensing. Keep the other RF connector covered with the included Metal Cap. |
Pole-Mounting
- Secure the free end of the ground wire to a grounded mast, pole, tower, or grounding bar.
Note: Hand-tighten the nuts. |
WARNING: Failure to properly ground your airFiber radio will void your warranty. |
Note: The ground wire should be as short as possible and no longer than one meter in length. |
