8.5DBI UNIDIRECTIONAL ANTENNA (LW012A OR

LW012AE)

The 8.5 dBi Unidirectional Antenna (LW012A) has a wide beam width (75 degrees horizontal, 50 degrees vertical) and is intended for both indoor and outdoor installations for short to medium distances between sites. This includes one transmit/receive

8.5dBi directional antenna together with the appropriate cables and connectors.

USA (LW012A)

5 meters RG-58/U cable complete with assembled sections and connectors:

•SMA male connector on one end connects to the LW007A, LW008A, LW009A, or LW010A.

Introduction 3.1 The 3-Mbps Wireless Ethernet Product LineThe LW001A and LW007A function exactly the same way, but the LW001A has permanently attached antennas, and the LW007A has detachable antennas. A third Hub, LW005A which is covered in a separate manual, has the same hardware as the LW007A, but different software. It works with portable computers equipped with the PCMCIA Wireless Adapter LW006A to connect to wired Ethernet LANs Figure 3-1.
