FAQs
Q1: What is the AF‑5G23‑S45 used for?
A: It’s a 5 GHz dish antenna intended for point‑to‑point wireless links or high‑gain directional deployments, typically paired with a compatible radio to provide long‑range, high‑quality connectivity.
Q2: What are the main technical specifications of the AF‑5G23‑S45?
A: The antenna supports a 5.1–5.9 GHz frequency range, has a gain of 23 dBi, and provides a beamwidth of 10° (3 dB, both horizontal and vertical). The housing diameter is 378 mm, and the total assembly weight is approximately 3.4 kg.
Q3: What polarization and radiation pattern does the antenna use?
A: It uses dual‑linear polarization, with a 45° slant — this polarization helps reduce interference and improves isolation, especially useful in co‑located or multi‑antenna environments.
Q4: What mounting and environmental tolerances does AF‑5G23‑S45 have?
A: It is designed for outdoor installation using a universal pole mount (for poles Ø 38–64 mm), and its mechanical design is built to survive wind speeds up to 200 km/h.
Q5: What use‑cases is the AF‑5G23‑S45 best suited for?
A: It’s ideal for long‑range point‑to‑point links (backbone, bridge, or last‑mile wireless), links requiring narrow beamwidth and high gain, or installations where interference reduction and co‑location isolation are important.
