CA85C3

The CompleTech CA85C3 is an offset pattern collinear antenna engineered for reliable operation within the 83-88 MHz frequency band. This antenna offers a substantial 10 dBi gain and vertical polarization, ensuring robust signal transmission and reception critical for industrial, telecommunications, and broadcast applications. Its construction features a UV-resistant ABS/FG radome with PU foam filling, providing excellent durability and weather resistance. The radiator is constructed from copper for optimal conductivity. The antenna is designed for secure mounting on poles with a diameter of 35-60 mm, utilizing an aluminum alloy bracket with stainless steel V-bolts and self-locking nuts. It boasts a low VSWR of less than 1.5, minimizing signal reflection and maximizing power transfer. For lightning protection, the CA85C3 features a DC-short circuited feed point. Operating within a wide temperature range of -40ºC to +80ºC, this antenna meets IP67 ingress protection standards, confirming its suitability for harsh environmental conditions. The integrated impedance compensation and RF choke further enhance its performance and reliability. The CA85C3 is equipped with N-female and TNC-female connectors for versatile connectivity. Its wind load rating is 189 N, indicating its structural integrity under significant wind stress. The field-adjustable pattern and optional beam tilting capabilities offer installation flexibility.
