Rf Elements AS-5-20 Array Sector Antenna 100°, 2x RP-SMA 20 dBi, 5150 - 5850 MHz

The RF Elements AS-5-20 Array Sector Antenna delivers 20 dBi gain across the full 5150–5850 MHz band through a sector patch array design purpose-built for demanding outdoor wireless infrastructure. Its 100° horizontal beamwidth makes it well suited to point-to-multipoint sector deployments where broad yet controlled coverage is required. Integrated BackShield technology actively suppresses sidelobes and rear radiation, a critical advantage in dense co-location environments where interference between co-mounted radios can degrade network performance. The dual RP-SMA connector interface provides straightforward integration with compatible 5 GHz radios, while a removable connector protection cover safeguards the ports during installation and maintenance. The enclosure combines extruded and stamped aluminum structural elements with UV-resistant ABS plastic and high-density polyethylene radome materials, all fastened with stainless steel, anti-seize-coated hardware for long-term corrosion resistance in exposed outdoor installations. A quick-assembly bracket system reduces tower and rooftop installation time without sacrificing mechanical stability.

Key features & benefits

• Integrated BackShield Technology — Suppresses sidelobes and back radiation at the antenna level, reducing inter-sector interference and enabling tighter co-location of multiple radios on the same structure without external shielding accessories.
• 20 dBi Gain Across Full 5 GHz Band — Delivers stable 20 dBi gain performance across the entire 5150–5850 MHz range, ensuring consistent link budgets throughout the operating spectrum rather than only at a nominal center frequency.
• 100° Sector Beamwidth — A 100° horizontal coverage pattern provides broad sector reach suitable for point-to-multipoint deployments, reducing the number of antennas required to achieve full azimuth coverage on a tower or rooftop installation.
• Dual RP-SMA Connectors — Two RP-SMA ports with removable protection covers allow direct connection to compatible MIMO-capable 5 GHz radios, with covers that guard connector integrity during handling and staged installations.
• Rugged All-Weather Construction — Extruded aluminum chassis, stamped aluminum structural components, UV-resistant ABS plastic, and high-density polyethylene elements are combined with stainless steel, anti-seize polymer-coated hardware to withstand prolonged outdoor exposure.
• Quick-Assembly Mounting System — A purpose-designed bracket system accelerates installation on standard poles and masts, minimizing time at height while maintaining secure, adjustable mechanical alignment once positioned.
• Optimized for Dense Co-Location — The combination of controlled radiation pattern and BackShield back-radiation mitigation makes this antenna particularly effective in cluster deployments where multiple sector antennas must operate in close proximity.
