RFI CDQ8195 6.5dBi Bullbar Mounted 3G+ 4G+ 5G Antenna - Removeable Whip

Key Features

• The RFI CDQ8195 is our all rounder antenna, capable of providing enough gain to stop the drop outs between towns but still providing a 25° vertical beamwidth to get the service up and over the rolling hills, dunes or ranges

• Ideal for new 5G/LTE networks with true multi-band coverage.

• Multiband covering all of the 3G, 4G & 5G frequencies currently in use

• Q-Fit® removable whip system for ease of removal in low height environments such as multi-story car parks, car washes or for security purposes

• Patented PCB based collinear design offering the ultimate in pattern and gain stability

• Supplied with 5m low loss coaxial cable, with Male SMA connector

Additional Information

• The new CDQ8100 Series 5G LTE antennas not only cover the 4G LTE bands (698-960 MHz, 1710-2170 MHz, and 2300-2700MHz) but now the new 5G LTE band (3400-3800 MHz) and is ideal for use with cellular modems & active repeaters, especially when signal is poor.

• The outstanding performance of the CDQ8100 series lies in the use of the patented Meander™ radiating elements. These Meander™ circuits are coupled together to deliver extraordinary consistency in gain, coverage pattern and bandwidth. The result is a unique antenna able to operate across all mobile phone networks globally, housed in the one unit. It is our flagship product and is designed for the harsh Australian conditions. & includes an integrated spring with threaded stud/nut for easy installation on vehicles. 

• The CDQ8100 Series whips can be removed via the integrated N male connector in the whip and N female connector on the spring assembly.

• It's important to note this antenna does not provide MIMO, if you require the best possible Internet performance, you should use two antennas, separated by around 300mm.

Usage

• As a rule of thumb: the higher the dBi, the flatter the angle the antenna can receive from

• In hilly areas cell towers are usually located at the peak of the hill, and if you've got a very high gain antenna (like 9dBi) chances are the antenna won't have a tall enough angle to receive from the tower

• The CDQ8195's 6.5dBi gain is the perfect compromise between high/low gain, making it the perfect antenna for travelling through a range of different areas - powerful enough to give you great signal when in remote areas, but low enough to work when travelling through hilly ranges

• The CDQ8195 provides an impressive 6.5dBi gain on lower bands such as 3G, Next-G, and 4GX, as well as a modest 4.5dBi gain on regular 4G bands & 6.5dBi on the 5G 3500MHz band.

• With a 13mm stud mount on an heavy duty black electropolished stainless steel spring, these antennas may be installed on a number of mounting brackets and are ideal for installations in commercial vehicles, four wheel drives and trucks

• The CDQ8195's fully ground-independent design results in true 6.5dBi gain regardless of mounting position.
