How to Choose the Right Antennas for Your Booster
Outside Antennas:
- Yagi Directional Antenna: This antenna is more powerful because it focuses on sending and receiving signals in one direction. It works best when there are no major obstacles blocking its path to the cell tower. It's not ideal for areas with large obstructions like hills or buildings.
- Omni Antenna: This antenna sends and receives in all directions, so it's better for hilly areas or if you need to support multiple carriers with towers in different directions. It doesn’t need to be aimed, but it also isn’t as strong as the Yagi antenna.
- High Gain LPDA Antenna: Perfect for areas with very weak signals, this antenna significantly boosts signal strength. It needs a clear line of sight to the cell tower and requires a sturdy mount because of its size.
Inside Antennas:
- Panel Antenna: Can be placed on walls or ceilings and directs the signal towards a specific area. This antenna is great for homes and tall ceilings in buildings.
- Standard Dome Antenna: Designed to mounted on the ceiling, this antenna spreads the signal evenly throughout the area. It's best suited for drop ceilings or spaces where cables can be run above the ceiling.
- Ultra-Thin Dome Antenna: This slim antenna also mounts to the ceiling, but is much is less noticeable. It's much stronger than a standard dome antenna, making it a great choice for places where both looks and signal strength are important.
Tips for Choosing:
- Choose Omni Antennas for general coverage with no aiming required.
- Choose Directional Antennas (Yagi or LPDA) when you can point directly at a cell tower and need stronger signal and more inside coverage.
- Interior Size Considerations: One antenna per 750-1,500 sq ft in homes, or 1,500-2,500 sq ft in open spaces like offices and warehouses.
Product Overview
Product Overview
The Wilson ½-inch Plenum Cable, with a 500 ft. spool, is designed to meet the demands of complex in-building Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS). This low-loss 50 Ohm coaxial cable is plenum rated, meaning it's suitable for installation in the plenum spaces of buildings where air circulation requires materials that produce minimal smoke and are flame retardant.
Constructed with a copper-clad aluminum center conductor and a helically corrugated aluminum tube outer conductor, the cable's unique air dielectric center structure and PVDF jacket enhance its performance. These features ensure low attenuation, efficient signal transfer, and reduced passive intermodulation, making it an ideal choice for high-quality, reliable cellular signal distribution within buildings.
Key features of the Wilson ½-inch Plenum Cable include:
- Low attenuation for maintaining signal strength over distances.
- ETL Certified CMP (UL 444) rating, ensuring compliance with strict safety standards.
- Low passive intermodulation to minimize signal interference.
- High efficiency in signal transfer for optimal performance.
- A white, flame retardant, and low smoke cable jacket for safe use in various parts of buildings, including air handling spaces.
The cable's specifications highlight its robust construction and operational reliability, with a temperature range of -4 to 167°F (-20 to 75°C) and a weight of 120 lbs (55 kg) for the 500 ft. spool. Signal loss remains minimal across a wide range of frequencies, ensuring consistent performance for various applications.
