Antenna model Description
CX16OMI236-BFxy
(xy represents the fixed down tilt value per 4 ports for 1695-2690 MHz		 2ft 16 Port OMNI antenna 8MB 8HB

xy= 2, 6, or 10 deg per 4 ports 1695-2690 MHz
x= FET value for ports 5, 6, 9, 10 (Y1 & Y3)
y= FET value for ports 7, 8, 11, 12 (Y2 & Y4)

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.
