FAQs
Q1: What is the Ubiquiti AF‑5G30‑S45 and what is it used for?
A: The Ubiquiti AF‑5G30‑S45 is a high‑gain 5 GHz parabolic dish antenna designed for outdoor networking. It’s used in long‑range point‑to‑point (PtP) wireless links and carrier backhaul installations where strong directional signal and low interference are essential.
Q2: What frequency range and gain does the AF‑5G30‑S45 support?
A: This antenna operates across the 5.1–5.9 GHz band with a 30 dBi gain, providing enhanced signal strength and reach for long‑distance wireless connections between fixed sites.
Q3: What kind of beam pattern and polarity does the AF‑5G30‑S45 use?
A: The antenna has a narrow beamwidth of about 5.8° at both ±45° slant orientated polarities, focusing the signal into a tight directional pattern to maximise link performance and reduce unwanted noise.
Q4: What features make the AF‑5G30‑S45 suitable for outdoor backhaul links?
A: It includes dual‑linear (slant) polarisation for improved noise immunity and signal‑to‑noise performance, a robust reflector design for consistent gain, and a rugged mechanical build that supports outdoor deployments in challenging environments.
Q5: How is the AF‑5G30‑S45 installed?
A: The antenna comes with mounting hardware including a universal pole mount, airFiber X radio bracket, and weatherproof RF connectors, enabling secure installation on towers or poles for stable long‑range wireless links.
