Overview

What it is and who it is for

The DSC GS-50ANTQ is a quad band dipole antenna extension kit with 50 ft (15.2 m) of coaxial cable for DSC cellular alarm communicators. It covers the 850/1900 and 900/1800 MHz bands and is designed for outdoor use, or indoors at high elevations.

Gain is 3 dBi on the low band and 6 dBi on the high band, with vertical polarization, an omnidirectional pattern and a 40 degree elevation beamwidth. The antenna is 24 in (600 mm) long with a 50 ohm impedance and 2.5:1 maximum VSWR, and the kit weighs 5 lb (2.3 kg) with cable. The coax ends in an SMA male connector and a 5 in SMA female to MMCX male jumper connects to the communicator.

The kit includes the antenna and wall bracket, coaxial cable, jumper cable, brass nut and washer and a rubber cable sleeve. DSC instructions call for vertical mounting as high as possible, using the full cable length without cutting, bends over 2 in radius and coils at least 12 in across.

  • Best for: communicator sites with weak signal where the antenna must go outside or high on a wall.
  • System fit: DSC TL260GS, TL265GS, GS2060, GS2065 communicators per kit instructions; also listed for 3G2060 and 3G2080 communicators.
  • Important to know: use the full 50 ft cable without cutting or splicing, and mount the antenna vertically; the active element should be kept away from walls.
