RF Elements HG3-CC-S50 Horn Antenna, 14.3 dBi, 5.18-6.4 GHz, N-type Female

The RF Elements HG3-CC-S50 is a high-performance symmetrical horn antenna designed for professional wireless networking. Operating within the 5.18 to 6.4 GHz frequency range, this antenna provides a stable gain of 14.3 dBi. It features a robust, compact design with a solid aluminum body, making it suitable for demanding outdoor environments. By utilizing a circular beam pattern with no side lobes, it effectively minimizes noise and maximizes spectrum efficiency, allowing for high-density network deployments.

Advantages

This antenna offers superior noise rejection due to its unique radiation pattern, which is essentially deaf outside the main beam. Unlike traditional sector antennas, it provides a consistent circular beam shape in both horizontal and vertical planes, ensuring uniform coverage. Its wideband performance maintains stable gain across the entire operating spectrum, which is critical for high-throughput communication. The compact form factor significantly reduces wind load and tower rental costs, while the high-quality materials, including UV-resistant polycarbonate and stainless steel hardware, ensure long-term durability in harsh weather conditions.

Suitable for

• High-density wireless network deployments
• Professional point-to-multipoint communication systems
• Environments requiring high noise isolation
• Scenarios where spectrum efficiency is critical
• Outdoor installations on towers or masts

This antenna may not be suitable for long-distance point-to-point backhaul links where a highly directional dish antenna with higher gain is required. It is also not intended for indoor use in small residential spaces due to its specialized radiation characteristics and size.

Key specifications

• Frequency band: 5.18 - 6.4 GHz
• Antenna gain: 14.3 dBi
• Impedance: 50 Ω
• Connector type: N-type Female
• Survival wind speed: 160 km/h
• Dimensions: 312 x 181 x 152 mm
• Weight: 1.9 kg

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel using appropriate mounting hardware for pole attachment. Connect the radio equipment to the N-type female ports using high-quality, weather-sealed coaxial cables. Ensure the antenna is securely fastened and properly aligned toward the target coverage area to achieve optimal signal propagation. Always verify that the radio settings match the antenna's frequency range before activation.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your radio equipment is compatible with N-type female connectors.
• Verify that the required coverage angle matches the specific model's beam width.
• Check the mounting pole diameter to ensure compatibility with the antenna bracket.
• Confirm that the operating frequency of your network falls within the 5.18 - 6.4 GHz range.

For best performance, ensure that all cable connections are properly weather-proofed to prevent moisture ingress, and perform a site survey to determine the optimal mounting height and orientation for your specific network topology.
