CompleTech CA170C2 offset pattern collinear - Frequency range: 163-177 MHz - Gain: 8 dBi - Polarization…

The CompleTech CA170C2 is a robust offset pattern collinear antenna designed for reliable VHF communication within the 163-177 MHz frequency band. Engineered with a copper radiator for optimal signal integrity and low loss, this antenna delivers a consistent 8 dBi gain and vertical polarization, making it ideal for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint applications. Its durable construction features a UV-resistant ABS/FG radome with PU foam filling, providing IP67 ingress protection against environmental elements like rain and UV exposure, and operating reliably across a wide temperature range of -40°C to +80°C. The CA170C2 boasts a low VSWR of less than 1.5, minimizing signal reflection and ensuring efficient power transfer. Mounting is facilitated by an aluminum alloy bracket with stainless steel V-bolts, compatible with standard poles ranging from 35-60 mm in diameter. The antenna is designed to withstand a wind load of 110 N, ensuring stability in various weather conditions. Connectivity is versatile, supporting both N-female and TNC-female connectors, allowing for straightforward integration into existing communication systems. Key features include DC short-circuit lightning protection, integrated impedance compensation, and an integrated RF choke, all contributing to its dependable performance in critical deployments. Applications span telecommunications, public safety networks, industrial automation, and SCADA systems where consistent and reliable VHF communication is paramount. SKU: CA170C2.
