The provided accessories listed in the antenna description provides you with
the following options:
3.28 ft (1 m ) cable with N plugs at both ends: connection of the antenna
with this cable
Pigtail, R-SMA plug to N socket: connection of the antenna to devices
with R-SMA socket
Note: The BAT Protector can be screwed onto the BAT-C / BAT300-F /
BAT450-F / BAT-F directly, or be connected between two cables, as it is
equipped with a plug and a socket.
Typical antenna ranges, based on the frequency range and the antenna type:
Frequency range: 2.4 GHz
– Short range: up to 218 yards (200 m) with omnidirectional antennas.
– Medium range: up to 0.62 miles (1 km) with sector antennas.
– Long range: up to 3.11 miles (5 km) with directional antennas.
Frequency range: 5 GHz
– Short range: up to 328 yards (300 m) with omnidirectional antennas.
– Medium range: up to 1.86 miles (3 km) with sector antennas.
– Long range: up to 9.32 miles (15 km) with directional antennas.
The typical ranges provide orientation for the first-time antenna selection.
The actual antenna range depends on several factors such as output power,
line of sight, and interference.
In the following table you find antenna descriptions. Together with the above
described typical ranges, the descriptions provide orientation for the first-time
antenna selection.

Decibels (dB)
The remaining output of an antenna at a specific angle is shown in
negative decibels (dB) on the antenna diagram.
See “Interpreting antenna diagrams” on page 65.
How do you interpret the negative decibel values on the antenna
diagram?
Definition dB: Q(P) = 10 × lg10 P1/P2 dB
Example:
The above antenna diagram shows the output at −30° as −10 decibels.
Example:
The above antenna diagram shows the output at 150° as −9 decibels.
See “Interpreting antenna diagrams” on page 65.
This means that the antenna transmits 1/8 of the maximum output at an
angle of 150°.
