Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as this part number may be discontinued or subject to specific ordering requirements. Confirm mechanical dimensions and mounting bracket specifications against system integration needs. Ensure environmental ratings meet deployment conditions. Check for updated datasheets regarding any product change notices or lifecycle updates from TE Connectivity before finalizing procurement plans.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this antenna when high directivity and gain are required for long-range 5.8GHz links. Consider the physical size and wind load due to the parabolic grid structure. Verify that the N-type female connector matches the transmitter or receiver interface. Evaluate the 100W power rating against system output levels to ensure safe operation without damage to the feed element.

Antennas RF Part Context

The GD58-26 is part of TE Connectivity's broader portfolio of RF antennas, specifically falling within the HD series designed for high-performance microwave applications. It complements other components in the GD5x family, such as the GD58-26-FEED, which serves as a replacement feed element. This model represents a specialized solution for fixed wireless applications requiring precise beam control at super-high frequencies.
