FAQs
Q1: What is the RF Elements TwistPort™ Adapter for Rocket AC and what is it used for?
A: The TwistPort™ Adapter for Rocket AC (TPA‑R5AC) is a specialised mounting adapter designed to connect Rocket AC radios to compatible TwistPort™‑based antennas. It improves RF performance by aligning the radio and antenna ports for optimal signal flow.
Q2: How does the TwistPort™ Adapter improve wireless performance?
A: The adapter creates a continuous RF waveguide path between the radio and the antenna, reducing signal reflections and loss that occur at standard rectangular connectors. This leads to higher throughput and better overall link reliability.
Q3: What equipment is the TwistPort™ Adapter compatible with?
A: The adapter is designed specifically for Rocket AC series radios and TwistPort™‑compatible antennas, providing a secure and low‑loss interface between the radio and the antenna for improved network performance.
Q4: How is the TwistPort™ Adapter installed?
A: The adapter mounts directly to the Rocket AC radio and mates with the TwistPort™ interface on compatible antennas. Its design ensures a weather‑protected and mechanically secure connection for outdoor wireless deployments.
Q5: What applications is the TwistPort™ Adapter ideal for?
A: It’s ideal for point‑to‑point and point‑to‑multipoint wireless links, wireless ISP (WISP) backhaul, and other high‑performance outdoor wireless installations where maximising signal strength and efficiency is critical.
