Features and Equipment in Detail

The SH-TP-5-80 features a TwistPort™ connector, enabling quick and secure mounting. The mechanical tilt of the antenna can be adjusted by ±25° to ensure optimal alignment with the target device. The antenna provides a maximum gain of 10.4 dBi and a typical gain of 10.3 dBi, enabling efficient signal transmission over long distances. The horizontal and vertical radiation pattern is 60° at -3 dB and 81° at -6 dB, ensuring broad sector coverage. The front-to-back ratio is 29 dB, ensuring good directivity and minimal interference from behind.

Technology Explained Simply

The antenna uses a horn radiator geometry, ensuring uniform and focused signal radiation. The gain in dBi describes the antenna's ability to amplify the signal, with 10.3 to 10.4 dBi representing medium to high gain. The radiation pattern of 60° at -3 dB and 81° at -6 dB means the signal is radiated over a wide angle, with sufficient signal strength within this range to ensure a stable connection. The IP55 protection rating protects the antenna from dust and splashing water, making it suitable for outdoor use. The temperature resistance from -30°C to +55°C allows use in various climate zones.
