Horn network antenna RF Elements UD-TP-27, 27.5 dBi, 5.18–6.4 GHz, TwistPort, IP65

The RF Elements UD-TP-27 is a horn-type network antenna designed for outdoor wireless links, offering up to 27.5 dBi gain across the 5.18–6.4 GHz frequency band. Its TwistPort interface provides direct compatibility with RF Elements TwistPort radios and accessories, simplifying integration for point-to-point and short-range high-gain connections. The antenna housing meets IP65 protection standards and its compact footprint (630×620×165 mm) makes it suitable for space-constrained mast or wall installations.

Advantages

This horn antenna delivers a focused radiation pattern with high gain, enabling stronger signal levels and improved link stability for line-of-sight connections. The TwistPort connector minimizes insertion loss and eliminates the need for external adapters when used with compatible radios, reducing setup complexity and signal degradation. Weather-resistant construction and a corrosion-resistant finish ensure reliable outdoor performance in varied environmental conditions. Compact size and integrated mounting points allow straightforward deployment on poles or walls while keeping windload and visual impact low.

Suitable for

• Short- to medium-range point-to-point wireless links
• High-gain feeder for backhaul connections in congested spectrum (5.18–6.4 GHz)
• Outdoor deployments where compact footprint and IP65 protection are required
• Integration with RF Elements TwistPort-compatible radios and modules

Key specifications

How to use

Mount the UD-TP-27 on a suitably rated pole or wall bracket, ensuring a clear line of sight between endpoints and secure mechanical fastening. Align the antenna toward the remote station using azimuth and elevation adjustments; the focused beam requires accurate aiming for optimal throughput. Attach a TwistPort-compatible radio or adapter directly to the TwistPort interface, following the radio manufacturer's instructions for sealing and grounding. After physical installation, perform link tests and fine-tuning of alignment and transmit power to meet regulatory and performance requirements.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the antenna in clear line-of-sight conditions and pair it with RF Elements TwistPort-compatible equipment to avoid additional connectors or adapters. Verify local regulatory limits for transmit power and frequency use within the 5.18–6.4 GHz band, and periodically inspect mounting hardware and weather seals to maintain IP65 protection and long-term reliability.
