Ubiquiti airFiber X 5GHz 23dBi Slant 45 Antenna

The Ubiquiti airFiber X 5GHz 23dBi Slant 45 Antenna AF-5G23-S45 features significant advances in noise isolation and beam performance to complement the airFiber X radios for carrier backhauls and Point-to-Point (PtP) bridging.

Features

---

Pair an airFiber® X antenna with an airFiber X radio to create the endpoint of a high-performance, Point-to-Point (PtP) bridge or network backhaul (airFiber X radio sold separately).

Housed in a compact form factor (378-mm diameter size), the AF-5G23-S45 offers 23 dBi of gain and features the following advantages:

• Low sidelobes reduce interference from other transmitters in the area.
• High isolation enhances performance for co-location in tower-mounted installations.
• The low-profile design with integrated radome reduces wind-loading.

Powerful Performance

The airFiber X antenna delivers 2x2, dual-polarity performance. On the right is one example of how the airFiber X antenna with an airFiber X radio can be deployed as endpoints in a backhaul link to deliver bandwidth from a WISP network out to a neighborhood tower. From there, an airMAX® Sector antenna with a Rocket® radio delivers bandwidth to the WISP’s customers.

Carrier-Class Construction

Incorporating a dish reflector design for excellent beam directivity, the airFiber X antennas feature robust mechanical design using industrial-strength hardware for outdoor application use.

Plug and Play Integration

airFiber X antennas and airFiber X radios have been designed to seamlessly work together. Every airFiber X antenna has a built-in airFiber X radio mount, so installation requires no special tools.

Snap the airFiber X radio securely into place and mount the antenna; you then have the optimal combination of airFiber X antenna and airFiber X radio for your PtP application.

Avanced RF Isolation Design

The innovative industrial design improves RF isolation to significantly reduce interference and deliver superior gain for high-capacity, multipoint networks.

The near-field plot of the AF-5G23-S45 is displayed in watts and uses a linear scale. The strength of the electromagnetic field is color-coded:

• Red: Highest strength
• Green: Medium strength
• Indigo: Lowest strength

Deployment Flexibility

The airFiber X supports ± 45° slant polarization for improved noise immunity and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). The compact form factor of the airFiber X allows it to fit into the radio mount of Ubiquiti antennas, so installation requires no special tools.

The airFiber X antennas are purpose-built with 45° slant polarity for seamless integration with the airFiber X.
