This chapter shows you how to install an external antenna for your
WA6102X-2AG.
WA6102X-2AG.
Only the SMC antennas listed in this guide are permitted to be connected to the
WA6102X-2AG. You must use the appropriate antennas, cables, and where
applicable, surge arrestors, for your given region. You are responsible for
verifying local regulations or legislation that may impose restrictions on the use
of specific antenna and cable combinations. For this reason, SMC recommends
that you consult with a professional installer who is trained in RF installation
and knowledgeable in the local regulations prior to connecting an external
antenna to your wireless radio product. It is the responsibility of the end user to
ensure that the antenna installation complies with the local radio regulations.

Plan the Installation
• Pigtail Cables - Use the coax pigtail cable attached to the antenna to connect
to the access point. Because most pigtail cables are a relatively short length
(83 cm or 33 inches), be sure to find a suitable mounting position for the
antenna that is not too far from the access point. If an extension cable is
required, please contact a professional installer who is trained in RF
installation and knowledgeable in the local regulations.

• Installation Location - Plan the antenna’s position and orientation.
Warning:
The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio
exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a
manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation
is minimized. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio
frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antennas should
not be less than 20 cm (8 inches) during normal operation.
