RF Elements SH-CC-5-90 network antenna 10 dBi N-type 5.18 - 6.1 GHz

The RF Elements SH-CC-5-90 is a carrier-class symmetrical horn network antenna with 10 dBi gain, designed for operation across the 5.18–6.10 GHz band. With dual linear polarization, 50 Ω impedance and an N-type female connector, it supports connection to a wide range of connectorized radios. The antenna’s compact metal construction (approximately 260 × 130 × 160 mm) delivers a durable, weather-resistant solution intended for sector and point coverage where a stable, symmetrical beam and low side radiation are required.

Advantages

Symmetrical horn design produces a circular, frequency-stable beam with effectively no side lobes, concentrating energy into a single main beam and reducing susceptibility to out-of-sector noise and interference. Wideband performance across 5.18–6.10 GHz preserves balanced gain over the entire band. The compact, robust metal housing and standardized N-type female connector ensure simple integration and long-term outdoor reliability. Pre-assembled construction simplifies installation and reduces deployment time.

Suitable for

• Sector coverage in wireless ISP networks
• High-density co-location sites requiring minimal mutual interference
• Connectorized radios and integrated systems operating in 5.18–6.10 GHz
• Environments with high noise where sidelobe suppression is important
• Installations where compact footprint and durable hardware are needed

How to use

Mount the antenna on a suitable mast or tower using the supplied bracket and stainless steel hardware; only a single common tool is required for final tightening. Connect a 50 Ω coaxial cable fitted with the appropriate N-type male connector to the antenna’s N-type female port and route the cable to the radio. Align the antenna to achieve the desired sector coverage—use the symmetrical circular beam pattern to cover nearby subscribers without nulls. Verify radio settings for the 5.18–6.10 GHz operating range and check link quality after installation. Ensure all weather seals and cable glands are properly seated to maintain outdoor reliability.

Recommendations

For best results in noisy or crowded bands, position the SH-CC-5-90 to exploit its minimal side-lobe radiation and use connectorized radios compatible with N-type interfaces. Allow sufficient separation and careful co-location planning when deploying multiple sectors to maximize capacity and minimize mutual interference. Periodically inspect mounting hardware and cable terminations to preserve long-term performance.
