4.5 Antennas
The Nexsens 3100-iSIC uses a single, high gain antenna for all deployments. The antenna
requires a mounting pole and a RF cable with N-style connectors; It is recommended that the
mounting pole have a diameter up to 2-1/2 inches and have a height as high as practical for
your application; also use a cable length that appropriately fits the mounting pole. Nexsens
offers various lengths of RF cable, ranging from 2 ft to 100 ft in length:
Antennas can be connected to an iSIC using NexSens RF cables. Additionally an A38 ground kit
and A39 lightning arrestor is recommended for installations where damage due to lightning may
occur.
