RF elements Symmetrical Horn Carrier Class SH-CC 5-80
The SH-CC Series boasts exceptional RF performance in a compact design. Its Scalar horn antennas feature symmetrical beams with identical patterns in the Vertical and Horizontal planes, resulting in minimal side lobes that greatly reduce interference. These antennas are perfect for providing coverage in areas with close proximity to clients, where issues with null zones may arise.
Additionally, the unique RF radiation patterns and compact size make it possible for high density AP clusters and radio co-location. The SH-CC 5-80 antenna also comes equipped with N-female connectors for added convenience.
