Front view	End view
	The 0 degree reference arrow corresponds to the 0 degree position in the antenna pattern file. Each antenna pattern file uses a top down orientation view (the patterns are viewed from the top of the antenna looking down).
	End view details: 6 stud bolts for direct mount to the Universal Sleeve (SC-BKT-SLA)

Ordering information
Antenna model	Description
CX12OMI236-BFx (x represents the fixed down tilt value per 4 ports for 1695-2690 MHz	2ft 12 Port OMNI antenna 4MB 8LS6
	x= 2, 4, 6, or 8 deg per 4 ports 1695-2690 MHz x= FET value for ports 1, 2, 3, 4 (Y1, Y2)

Notes on mounting brackets	Example bracket configuration
The antenna comes with the bottom mount studs (marked as 1 ) factory-installed. JMA cylinder brackets are compatible with bottom mount via universal cantenna mount sleeve (marked as 2 ) (SC-BKT-SLA), sold separately with JMA cylinder mounting systems. To mitigate potential risk of PIM issues, the recommended torque values need to be applied.
