3G 6dBi Magnetic Mount 80MM Antenna with RG174 (L-3Mtr) Cable | SMA Male Connector

The 3G 6dBi Magnetic Mount 80mm Antenna with RG174 (L-3Mtr) Cable and SMA Male Connector is a compact and versatile antenna setup. Here’s a breakdown of each component and its functions:

1. 3G 6dBi Magnetic Mount 80mm Antenna:

   • 3G: Designed for use with 3G mobile networks, optimized to enhance signal reception and transmission for this frequency range.
   • 6dBi Gain: The antenna provides a gain of 6dBi, which offers a moderate boost in signal strength. While not as high as antennas with 10dBi gain, it still improves signal reception compared to standard antennas.
   • Magnetic Mount: This allows the antenna to be easily mounted on any metal surface using a strong magnetic base. It’s a convenient option for temporary setups or where drilling holes for mounting is not feasible.
   • 80mm: This likely refers to the diameter of the magnetic base or the overall height of the antenna. It’s a compact size that makes it easy to install and position.

2. RG174 (L-3Mtr) Cable:

   • RG174: A type of coaxial cable that’s thinner and more flexible compared to RG58, suitable for low-loss transmission over shorter distances.
   • L-3Mtr: Indicates the cable length is 3 meters (about 9.8 feet), providing some flexibility in positioning the antenna relative to your equipment.

3. SMA Male Connector:

   • SMA Male: A common type of RF connector used to connect the antenna to the device. The SMA male connector will fit into an SMA female connector on your equipment.
   • Connector Type: The "Straight" connector is the standard type, ensuring a direct connection without angling.

• Magnetic Mount: Provides flexibility in placement, as you can easily move the antenna or attach it to various metal surfaces. This can be useful for testing different locations to find the best signal.
• 6dBi Gain: Offers a reasonable boost in signal strength, suitable for improving signal reception in moderate to weak signal areas.
• Compact Size: The 80mm diameter of the magnetic base makes it a compact and unobtrusive option for temporary or mobile setups.

• Mounting: Place the antenna on a flat, metal surface for the best magnetic hold and signal reception. Ensure the surface is clean for maximum magnetic contact.
• Positioning: Aim the antenna in the direction of the cell tower or signal source for optimal performance. The magnetic base allows you to easily reposition the antenna if needed.
• Cable Management: Ensure the RG174 cable is routed and secured to avoid damage. Keep the cable as straight as possible to minimize signal loss.

This antenna setup is suitable for scenarios where flexibility and ease of installation are important, such as in vehicles, temporary installations, or for testing different locations to find the best signal reception.
