This weBoost 50 Ohm Building Exterior Dual-Band Cellular/PCS Fiberglass base station antenna is a convenient and highly durable solution for base station or micro base station applications. This durable antenna is excellent for use with dual-band repeater/amplifier applications for example, as the exterior antenna with a weBoost Cellular 801245 SOHO Dual-Band Amplifier/Repeater. It may also be connected directly to your cell phone (with appropriate cabling and phone adapter cable – see below.)
Pole mounted antenna should be mounted as high as possible in order to minimize obstruction between antenna and cell tower. This package contains the antenna, 14″ of coax, and mounting hardware. Antenna may be mounted to pole up to 1-3/4″ in diameter or to flat surface. Does not include pole/mast – see FMW4-YMST4: Laird 4′ x 1-1/4″ Aluminum Mast and 4″ Standoff Wall Mounts (2 Brackets).
Supports 800/850MHz Cellular frequency band, 1900MHz PCS frequency band as well as iDEN/Nextel.
Requires:
- Phone Adapter Cable: A phone adapter cable in order to connect to your cell phone
Cable:
The antenna includes one 14 inch section of cable terminated in N female. For 20-30′ cable runs wpsantennas.com recommends the use of LMR-240 low loss cable. For longer runs, we suggest using one of the below lengths of Ultra Low Loss LMR-400 Cable. This cable is fairly stiff so if you plan on connecting the antenna directly to your phone with an antenna adapter we suggest you also include an 5′ RG-58 extension. The below cables may also be connected together using the N-Female to N-Female barrel connector.
The primary difference between RG-58 and LMR-400 is the dB signal loss. RG-58 loses approximately 12dB/100′ while LMR-400 loses about 4dB/100′ (which is a big difference).
A phone adapter cable is required to connect to your phone.
