489-DB - Digital Antenna High Performance Multi-Band 800MHz-2500MHz 10dBi Yagi Directional Cellular PCS iDEN Cell Phone Antenna

The main benefit of the Digital Antenna's unique multi-band Yagi antenna is its ability to focus its signal in one direction leading to the greater gain figures. This antenna is designed for use on stationary objects such as buildings. If this antenna is not correctly aimed, it will lose its effectiveness.

Digital Antenna's unique multi-band directional antenna covers the entire spectrum from 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz and can be used for all cellular frequencies including North American standard 850 and 1900 MHz bands, Euro/Asian standard 900 and 1800 MHz bands, WCDMA 2.1 GHz, Nextel 800 MHz, and the 2.5 GHz WiFi band.

Designed for easy outside installation on a mast/pole, the 489-DB multi-band directional antenna is ideal for use outside homes, offices and commercial buildings in areas of low cellular signal strength. This innovative product offers excellent signal pulling power for fixed installations where previously few solutions existed. Cables must be ordered separately.

If using this antenna with the DA4KSBR-50U, the antenna will connect directly to the cable included with the kit.

Features:

• Supports:
  • US/North American: 800/850MHz Cellular and 1900MHz PCS bands
  • Euro/Asian: 900MHz and 1800MHz bands
  • WCDMA 2.1GHz band
  • 2.5GHz WiFi band
• Directional antenna
• Built-in ground plane
• Pole mounting hardware included (does not include pole)
• For fixed installations

Requires:

• Cable: This antenna includes no cable
• Repeater System: Connect to a Repeater System to improve the range of the system; Or
• Phone Adapter Cable: A phone adapter cable in order to connect to your cell phone

Cable:

The antenna includes no cable. If planning on connecting the antenna to something other than a Digital Antenna Repeater System you will need cable. For a short run of 20' you can use our 20' RG-58 coax extension which has the appropriate connections to connect between the Yagi and phone adapter cables. Please note that our other RG-58 cables can not be directly connected to the Yagi antenna.

For longer runs, we suggest using one of the below lengths of LMR-400 Cable. This cable is fairly stiff so if you plan on connecting the Yagi directly to your phone with an antenna adapter we suggest you also include an 5' RG-58 extension. The below cables may also be connected together using the N-Female to N-Female barrel connector.

The primary difference between RG-58 and LMR-400 is the dB signal loss. RG-58 loses approximately 12dB/100' while LMR-400 loses about 4dB/100' (which is a big difference).

LMR-400 Extensions Cables:

• 20' LMR-400 Cable
• 30' LMR-400 Cable
• 50' LMR-400 Cable
• 75' LMR-400 Cable
• 100' LMR-400 Cable

A phone adapter cable is required to connect to your phone.
