BWL400 low loss 50 Ohm coaxial cable specification overview

For longer low loss antenna cable runs, EAD/Specialist Antennas often turns to BWL400 cable manufactured by Italian cable specialist Beta Cavi. With a choice of connectors, BWL400 has excellent RF properties characterised by low loss per metre properties, is an interesting choice for applications up to 3 GHz and an excellent alternative to LMR400.

Popular LTE-HIGAIN antenna now offered with integrated mounting stud.

A new low profile, permanent mount LTE/4G Multiband antenna is now in stock. The LTE-HIGAIN-STUD antenna is rugged and robust through-hole mount omni antenna that is mounted via a N-Female connector. Similar to the market-leading LTE-HIGAIN-MAG antennas, this antenna is based on the same radiating technology, but an integrated stud is an alternative to a magnetic mount.

This antenna should be mounted on a metal surface such as a vehicle or narrowboat roof and does require a jumper cable terminated in N-Male to mate with the antenna.

LTE-HIGAIN-STUD Antenna

The performance specs are as follows:

Frequency Range:  700-2700 MHz
Impedance     50 Ohms
Antenna Gain (Peak)
            698-960MHz: 3.5dBi
            1575.42MHz: 5.1dBi
            1710-1990MHz: 5.5dBi
            2100-2700MHz: 4.6dBi

This antenna is manufactured by Laird Technologies under part number:  TRA6927M3PW.
