L-com HG5158PEV 5.1–5.8 GHz 18 dBi Panel Enclosure Antenna
The L-com HG5158PEV combines a directional panel antenna with space for customer-installed wireless equipment. Its 5.1–5.8 GHz frequency range and 18 dBi gain make it an option for custom wireless installations requiring a directional antenna and an integrated equipment enclosure.
Designed for installers and wireless system integrators, this antenna enclosure allows suitable radio hardware to be installed behind the antenna. Radio equipment and the appropriate RF interconnection must be selected separately.
Key Features
- 5.1–5.8 GHz operating frequency range.
- 18 dBi antenna gain.
- Directional panel design with an integrated equipment bay.
- CAT5/CAT6 quick connection.
System Integration
Select the radio, antenna cable, and power arrangement as a complete system. Confirm RF connector details, electrical requirements, equipment clearance, and heat dissipation before installation. Matching the frequency band alone does not establish compatibility.
Ideal Applications
- Custom directional wireless installations within the specified frequency range.
- Wireless equipment integration projects requiring an antenna enclosure.
- Installer-built links using separately verified radio hardware.
Compatible Products
Before selecting equipment, verify:
- Operation on the intended channel within the antenna's specified frequency range.
- The actual antenna feed connector, required pigtail, impedance, and RF power limits.
- Radio dimensions, mounting locations, cable clearance, and thermal requirements.
- Ethernet interface requirements and the enclosure connection's supported performance.
- Any PoE voltage, standard, pin assignment, and power requirements throughout the complete connection path.
Important: Do not assume the base HG5158PEV includes an RP-SMA, RP-TNC, MMCX, or UFL cable. Confirm the supplied configuration before ordering a radio or interconnect. The CAT5/CAT6 connection alone does not establish Gigabit Ethernet or PoE compatibility.
