Operation With Antennas Not Included With The Microcell

The antennas listed in the following table have been tested with the Vivato Outdoor Microcells and comply with FCC Part 15 rules.

FCC Part 15, paragraph 15.204 (c) 4, addresses the use of other antennas than those specifically used during compliance testing of the Microcell. Generally stated, antennas of the same type (omni, Yagi, patch) and of the same or lower gain for that type of approved antenna may be substituted in place of those used during compliance testing. Please refer to that FCC document for the full text of the ruling.

Antenna connections on the Microcell are RP-TNC (f) jacks. Therefore, antenna leads must be terminated with an RP-TNC (m) plug connector. Be sure to specify this type of connector when ordering antennas and any extension cables and adapters that may be needed to reach from the antenna’s mounting point to the connectors on the bottom of the electrical enclosure. See Figure 6— Example
