RF elements 60° Asymmetrical Horn CC Antenna
The RF elements 60° Asymmetrical Horn CC Antenna's radiation pattern is 60° wide in the azimuth plane and 25° in elevation, allowing for increased gain and excellent beam efficiency. This provides improved coverage planning options, surpassing traditional patch array sector antennas with its high stability of radiation pattern across the operating bandwidth.
With exceptional noise rejection and precise radiation pattern, this antenna is ideal for high-density access point clusters and densely co-located sites. Additionally, the 60° Asymmetrical Horn CC features a pair of N-female connectors, providing a wide range of radio connectivity.

FAQs
Q1: What is the RF Elements 60° Asymmetrical Beam Antenna (AH60‑CC) and what is it used for?
A: The RF Elements 60° Asymmetrical Beam Antenna (AH60‑CC) is an outdoor wireless antenna designed for point‑to‑multipoint (PtMP) networks. It provides a 60° asymmetrical beam, delivering reliable, wide‑sector coverage with enhanced performance and reduced interference.
Q2: What does “asymmetrical beam” mean for this antenna?
A: An asymmetrical beam means the antenna’s signal pattern is designed to focus stronger coverage in some directions than others. This helps target wireless connectivity where it’s needed most while minimising signal spill and interference in less critical areas.
Q3: What does the “60°” specification indicate?
A: The 60° horizontal beamwidth describes the width of the antenna’s signal coverage horizontally. A 60° beam provides broad sector coverage, making it well‑suited for mid‑range wireless links in outdoor network deployments.
Q4: Where is the AH60‑CC antenna typically deployed?
A: This antenna is ideal for wireless ISP base stations, campus network sectors, rural broadband, and fixed‑wireless access environments where wide, consistent coverage and robust performance are required.
Q5: What physical and environmental features does the AH60‑CC offer?
A: The AH60‑CC features a rugged outdoor housing designed to withstand harsh weather and temperature extremes. It supports mast or pole mounting for secure installation and reliable long‑term performance in outdoor networks.
