PC18513N - Cushcraft 13dBi PCS Yagi (1850MHz-1950MHz) Cell Phone Antenna

The Cushcraft Yagi Antenna's main benefit over our other antennas is its ability to focus its signal in one direction. This antenna is designed for use on stationary objects such as buildings. If this antenna is not aimed correctly it will lose its effectiveness.

For those long-range directional applications, Cushcraft has designed the PC18513N Yagi antenna. It produces a gain of 13 dBi and can be mounted in a number of ways. The UV-stabilized polycarbonate radome shields the antenna from the sun and all weather conditions.

Since this is a single band 1900MHz PCS antenna it will only work with Sprint PCS, T-Mobile, and other 1900MHz PCS Signals. In particular, it will not work on 800MHz/850MHz Cellular or iDEN (Nextel, Southern LINC, Mike) signals.

Due to manufacturer restrictions, the Cushcraft Yagi may not be returned once opened/installed.

Cable

The antenna includes no cable. For a short run of 20' you can use our 20' RG-58 coax extension which has the appropriate connections for the Yagi. Please note that our other RG-58 cables can not be directly connected to the Yagi antenna.

For longer runs, we suggest using one of the below lengths of Ultra Low Loss 9913 Cable. This cable is fairly stiff so if you plan on connecting the Yagi directly to your phone with an antenna adapter we suggest you also include an 5' RG-58 extension. The below cables may also be connected together using the N-Female to N-Female barrel connector.

The primary difference between RG-58 and 9913 is the dB signal loss. RG-58 loses approximately 12dB/100' while 9913 loses about 4dB/100' (which is a big difference).
