Marine AntennasCXL 2400-8LW/...

8 db Omnidirectional Base Station and Marine Antenna for the 2400 MHz Band

Description

  • Vertically polarized, omnidirectional base station and marine antenna.
  • Approximately 8 dBd gain.
  • Provided with the sturdy “LW” mast mount – a lightweight, multipurpose, epoxy-coated mounting bracket made of non-corrosive aluminium.
  • The accompanying U-bolts and fittings are made of stainless steel.
  • To be mounted on vertical or horizontal mast tubes, 16 to
    54 mm in outer diameter.
  • The cable can be led either on the outside or along the inside of the mast tube.
  • Large bandwidth with respect to both VSWR and gain.
  • Highly suitable for duplex operation with large spacing between the Tx and the Rx frequencies.
  • The antenna element is sealed in a high-quality, conical glass fibre tube.
  • All metal parts in the antenna are DC-grounded to reduce the noise caused by atmospherical discharge. Consequently, the antenna shows a DC-short across the coaxial cable.
  • The CXL 2400-8LW/… is a vibration-proof, lightweight, slim-line, corrosion resistant, modern style base station and marine antenna.
