Installing a Connectorized Flat Panel Antenna
To install a connectorized flat panel antenna to a mast or structure, follow instructions that the
manufacturer provides. Install the antenna safely and securely, consistent with industry practices.
The Universal Mounting Bracket available from Cambium (Part Number SMMB-1 and consisting of a
mounting bracket and L-shaped aluminum tube) holds one module, but cannot hold both the module and a
connectorized antenna. The SMMB-2 is a heavy duty bracket that can hold both a 900-MHz or 5.7-GHz
connectorized module and its connectorized antenna. See Module Support Brackets on Page 57.
IMPORTANT!
Connectorized antennas require professional installation.
The professional installer is responsible for
• selection of an antenna that the regulatory agency has approved for use with the CAP 9130 AP and
CAP 9130 SM.
• setting of the gain consistent with regulatory limitations and antenna specifications.
• ensuring that the polarity—horizontal or vertical—is identical on both ends of the link. (This may be
less obvious where an integrated antenna is used on one end and a connectorized on the other.)
• use of moisture sealing tape or wrap to provide long-term integrity for the connection.
