Antenna Cambium Networks 60GHz cnWave V5000 22.5 dBi IP66 IP67

The Cambium Networks 60GHz cnWave V5000 antenna provides high-capacity wireless connectivity in the 60 GHz frequency band with a maximum gain of 22.5 dBi. Designed for high-speed and high-density deployments, the compact white unit supports both point-to-point (PTP) and point-to-multipoint (PMP) configurations and can serve as distribution or client node hardware. With an IP66/IP67 environmental rating and a survival wind speed of 200 km/h, the V5000 is suitable for outdoor installation on walls or poles and is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE) with a maximum power consumption of 65 W.

Advantages

The V5000 combines high gain and beamforming across two sectors to cover up to 280° and support dense urban or suburban deployments. It is certified for Facebook Terragraph and supports connection of multiple distribution and client nodes, enabling flexible network topologies. Cloud or on-premises management through Cambium’s cnMaestro provides zero-touch provisioning, full network visibility and real-time control to simplify operation and reduce total cost of ownership compared with fiber in many scenarios.

Suitable for

• Gigabit edge access for residential and business connectivity
• High-capacity backhaul for Wi‑Fi access points or LTE/5G small cells
• Urban and suburban high-density deployments and mesh networks
• Outdoor wall or pole-mounted distribution and client nodes

How to use

Mount the V5000 on a suitably rated wall or pole using hardware that accommodates the unit's weight and wind loading. Connect the device to a PoE power source and to the network backhaul or distribution switch. Use cnMaestro (cloud or on‑premises) for initial provisioning, firmware management and to configure PTP or PMP link parameters. Align sectors and client nodes according to site planning and link budget calculations to achieve optimal throughput. Follow local safety and grounding practices during installation.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, plan line-of-sight paths where possible, verify antenna alignment for each link, and use cnMaestro to monitor link status and throughput. Consider environmental obstructions and seasonal foliage when designing network coverage, and ensure PoE power budget allows for maximum consumption during peak operation.
