Directional antenna PLANET ANT-FP14AD 14 dBi N-type 5.15-5.85 GHz

PLANET ANT-FP14AD is a 5 GHz directional flat panel antenna with 14 dBi gain and two N-type female connectors. It operates across the 5.15–5.85 GHz band and supports IEEE 802.11a/n standards, providing increased signal coverage, improved strength and better link quality for outdoor wireless LAN deployments. Its compact panel form factor (228 mm x 15 mm x 228 mm) is suitable for point-to-point connections and other long-range links.

Advantages

The ANT-FP14AD offers dual polarization (vertical and horizontal) in a single flat panel, enabling simultaneous transmit and receive on different polarizations when used with multistream 802.11n equipment. This reduces the need for two separate oppositely polarized antennas while improving throughput and signal reliability. With a 14 dBi gain and focused directional pattern, it enhances link budget and reduces interference from off-axis sources.

Suitable for

• Outdoor point-to-point links between buildings or warehouses
• Long-range directional coverage for 5 GHz wireless LANs
• Deployments using IEEE 802.11a/n equipment requiring improved link budget

How to use

Mount the ANT-FP14AD on a stable mast or wall facing the target link direction and connect coaxial cables with N-type male connectors to the antenna's two N-type female ports. Aim the panel precisely toward the remote antenna to maximize directional gain and align polarization according to the connected wireless devices. Ensure weatherproofing at cable connections and use appropriate outdoor-rated feeders and mounting hardware.

Recommendations

For multistream 802.11n links, verify that both ends of the link support multiple spatial streams and compatible polarization handling to benefit from the dual-polarized design. Use high-quality low-loss cables for long runs and perform site surveys to confirm optimal placement and alignment.
