Mounting on a Pole or Mast The antenna can be mounted on a pole or mast using two U-bolts (not provided). Cisco recommends using a guillotine-style U-bolt or a U-bolt with a Note notched, toothed backing plate to ensure proper support and permanent positioning.
Painting the Antenna Suggested Cable Cisco recommends a high-quality, low-loss cable for use with the antenna. Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. Note The cable should be kept as short as possible because cable length also determines the amount of signal loss (the longer the run, the greater the loss).
