The Ubiquiti airFiber 5 GHz 30 dBi 45-Degree Slant Antenna (Model: AF-5G30-S45) specification description follows:
The Ubiquiti airFiber 5 GHz 30 dBi 45-Degree Slant Antenna (Model: AF-5G30-S45) is a high-gain, carrier-class dish antenna engineered specifically for long-range Point-to-Point (PtP) backhaul links and high-capacity wireless infrastructure. Designed to pair seamlessly with Ubiquiti airFiber AF-5X and AF-5XHD radios, the antenna incorporates a specialized 45-degree slant polarization design to deliver superior noise immunity, reduced signal interference, and exceptional Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) performance in congested RF environments.
Featuring a high-directivity 30 dBi parabolic reflector operating across the 5 GHz frequency spectrum (4.9–5.9 GHz), the AF-5G30-S45 provides tight beamwidth control and optimal cross-polarization isolation. Constructed with ruggedized, weather-resistant materials, it includes a protective radome-compatible shroud design, integrated airFiber radio mount mechanism, and a heavy-duty pole-mounting bracket with elevation and azimuth fine-adjustment controls for precise long-distance alignment.
Comprehensive Key Features:
- 45-Degree Slant Polarization Architecture: Rotates traditional dual-linear polarization by 45 degrees to double spatial isolation, minimize co-location interference, and boost SNR in high-density spectrum environments.
- High-Gain 30 dBi Parabolic Reflector: Delivers focused 30 dBi antenna gain across the 5 GHz band to enable multi-gigabit long-range PtP backhaul connections.
- Seamless airFiber Radio Integration: Features an integrated mounting bracket engineered specifically for direct, toolless attachment of airFiber AF-5X and AF-5XHD radios.
- Advanced Noise Isolation & Side-Lobe Suppression: High-directivity dish design suppresses side lobes and back lobes to isolate signals from adjacent RF noise sources.
- Precision Mechanical Alignment Assembly: Heavy-duty mounting hardware includes fine-tune elevation and azimuth adjustment controls for accurate long-distance targeting.
- Ruggedized Weatherproof Construction: Built with outdoor UV-stabilized materials, galvanized steel components, and anti-corrosion hardware for high wind survivability and harsh site durability.
- Broad 5 GHz Frequency Band Coverage: Supports continuous operation across 4900–5900 MHz (4.9–5.9 GHz) to maximize channel frequency selection flexibility.
