Overview

The CompleTech CA450C2 is an offset pattern collinear antenna engineered for the 440-475 MHz frequency band, delivering 8 dBi gain with vertical polarization for robust point-to-multipoint and point-to-point communications. Built with a copper radiator and UV-resistant ABS/FG PU foam radome, the CA450C2 withstands harsh outdoor conditions while maintaining IP67 ingress protection and a temperature range of -40°C to +80°C. The antenna features a low VSWR of less than 1.5, ensuring minimal signal reflection and maximum power transfer, while the DC-short-circuited feed point provides built-in lightning protection. With a horizontal beamwidth of 181° and vertical beamwidth of 27°, the CA450C2 offers a broad coverage pattern optimized for industrial, commercial, and public safety applications. The N-/TNC-female connector ensures compatibility with a wide range of radio equipment, and the Ø35-60 mm pole mounting system with stainless steel V-bolts allows for quick, secure installation on masts or towers. Weighing just 985g and rated for a wind load of 64 N, the CA450C2 combines durability, lightweight design, and low wind resistance for reliable performance in demanding environments. Ideal for two-way radio systems, SCADA networks, and mobile communications, this antenna is a cost-effective solution for extending coverage in the UHF band.
