Question 1

I'd like to connect this antenna to a netgear lb1120 (4g lte modem - has two ts-9 connectors). will this antenna work and what 50' cable can i use?

Accepted Answer

From Proxicast:50 ft is fairly long coax run - most of these smaller devices do not put out a lot of power so you will have loss over the cable run to contend with.  See if you can locate the Netgear device closer to the antenna and use Ethernet cabling for the long distance run.To connect the panel antenna you wll need two TS 9adapters such as these:https://www.amazon.com/External-Antenna-Adapter-Pigtail-Hotspots/dp/B00WA6JJVSand SMA-Male to N-Male coax cables from the adapters to the panel antenna:https://www.amazon.com/SMA-Male-N-Male-Coaxial-Jumper-Cable/dp/B013CY0IRU

Question 2

Will this get the full advance lte -45 +45 mimo streams or will it only get two individual lte streams?

Accepted Answer

This antenna is cross polarized, meaning the horizontally polarized and vertically polarized elements are at 90 degrees to each other.  This provides polarity diversity in a small antenna enclosure.  You need to connect this antenna to a single LTE device that supports MIMO technology - you cannot connect 2 separate LTE devices.  To achieve polarization diversity,  the elements must be at 90 degress to each other -- often when using 2 yagi antennas for MIMO, a +/- 45 degree mounting is recommended to minimize snow and wind loading.  Only the angle of the elements relative to each other in important.

Question 3

I have a verizon jet pack mifi 6620l will this work? i believe it has a ts-9 antenna port

Accepted Answer

The 6620L has only 1 external antenna port, so this antenna is not a good choice since the 6620L does not support MIMO.  If you are looking for a high gain antenna, consider one of these:

https://www.amazon.com/Proxicast-Omni-Directional-Outdoor-Fiberglass-Antenna/dp/B074YWTCB1

In all cases, you will need a TS9 pigtail for the 6620L:

and an SMA-M to N-M coax extension cable from the pigtail to the antenna:

Question 4

Is the mounting mast metal or plastic?  Are two lightning arresters needed?  Thanks.

Accepted Answer

My masts are metal and arresters are not required but are highly recommend if you want to protect all the other electronics in your home.
