	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).

Notes on cylinder brackets

Mounting details

All CX* antennas come with the bottom mount bracket (marked as A ) factory-installed (all factory testing is done with bracket attached) Hardware is included with each antenna to connect bottom bracket to different mounting systems. JMA cylinder brackets are compatible with bottom mount via universal cantenna mount sleeve (marked as B ), sold separately. To mitigate potential risk of PIM issues, the recommended torque values need to be applied.
