Andrew AISG Smart Bias Tees

Andrew Teletilt Smart Bias Tees are designed to electronically inject (piggy-back) both power and control signals onto an existing RF coaxial cable run, which eliminates the need for a long AISG cable run from the base to the top of a cell site tower. The top unit is installed at the top of the tower, below the RET (remote electrical tilt) devices. The bottom unit is installed at the base of the tower. A variety of models are available, featured in two AISG compliant families. Select from either the Andrew ATBT-S Series models that support both AISG 1.1 and 2.0 device operation or the ATBT Series models that only supports AISG 1.1.

Each unit is equipped with a grounding stud that requires a grounding kit to provide additional lightning protection. These Smart Bias Tees are ROHS.

New Coverage Solutions for Interleaved Sub-bands within Multiple Frequency Bands

Andrews digital Node A RF Enhancer supports up to four separate frequency bands, and up to 24 interleaved sub-bands or up to 32 narrow band channels, in one unit whether 2G, 2.5G, 3G, or 4G cellular, iDEN, TETRA, the recently auctioned 700 MHz or other frequency bands.

A cost-effective alternative to installing base stations and fiber-based distributed antenna systems, the Node A can successfully bring outdoor frequency bands into small- and mid-size buildings. With 120 MHz in total bandwidth anywhere within multiple frequency bands, it is designed to be part of the primary infrastructure and includes many useful features and functions not found in typical enhancers. The NODE A is ideal for urban area where indoor coverage is needed and frequency bands between operators are intermingled. It is also useful for outdoor coverage in areas where cost, coverage, and quality need to be optimized.

Quik-Tee Sector Frames

TESSCO has lowered your everyday price on the complete line of Andrew's Quik-Tee Sector Frames—the industry's best, fast deploying angle sector frame. You won't find a higher quality, more reliable frame at a better price.

Andrew Corporation has enhanced its industry leading Quik-Tee sector frame by adding additional hardware and support to increase the frame's stability and simplify its installation. The upgraded Quik-Tee allows installers to plum the frame easily and is the only sector frame in the industry featuring dual pivot points, which permits adjustment in multiple directions to reach azimuths not attainable by other models. It is also the only folding sector frame to feature a universal sliding taper bracket, which provides up to seven degrees of unobstructed, non-incremental taper, compared to the ¾ degree incremental taper most frames offer.

Andrew’s Quik-Tee sector frame continues to lead the market as the cost-effective solution for mounting antennas from “skid to sky in minutes”. Additional features include:

• Dual pivoting gate
• Light welded design
• New 2-piece universal saddle mount
• Partially pre-assembled for ease in construction
  

Adjustable Pipe Mounts

Robust Ajdustable Pipe Mounts are the perfect solution for mounting a microwave dish to a variety of structures.

Universal sliding pipe mounts feature a unique design that allows one easy-to-install kit to be used to attach microwave antennas, UHF antennas, PCS antennas, and analog antennas to round or angle tower legs.

Andrew’s universal sliding pipe mounts can be mounted to round legs up to 8 in. OD, 60° angle legs up to 6 in, or 90° angle legs up to 8 in. Each kit consists of a universal saddle mount, two formed taper adjustment angles, and a 2-3/8 in OD or 4-1/2 in OD pipe. The formed taper adjustment angles allow the sliding pipe mount kit to adjust for up to 7° of non incrementaln taper. Andrew’s u-bolt design allows the installer flexibility to secure the pipe to the saddle mount anywhere needed. Universal Sliding Pipe Mounts are hot dip galvanized for maximum corrosion protection.

Equipment Platforms

Now there's a versatile, dependable support solution for wireless system equipment in roof-top or raw land applications. New Andrew equipment platform systems provide an elevated surface on which base station cabinets and other wireless equipment can be secured, eliminating the need for concrete pads. Platforms are available in 10 ft x 10 ft, 10 ft x 15 ft, and 10 ft x 20 ft sizes with or without adjustable legs for raw land or roof-top applications.

Andrew’s adjustable leg mounts to the perimeter of the platform and features a jackable leg that allows the top of the platform to be adjusted from 25 in to 36 inches above ground level. Andrew’s weight displacement foot for roof-top applications can be mounted on the perimeter or underneath the platform and allows the top of the platform to be adjusted from 22 inches to 29 inches above the roof; pivotable legs allow the equipment platform to be used on sloped surfaces.

Self-Splicing Rooftop Bridge Kits

Save space and installation time on your next project with Andrew self-splicing rooftop trays. They offer additional capacity in the same space compared with traditional rooftop kits — and you don't need to buy expensive splices.

The self-splicing coaxial cover kits for SnapStak™ snap-in hangers are an ideal roof-top solution for covering multiple runs of stacked coaxial cable. You can cover triple stacks of 1/2 in, 7/8 in, and double stacks of 1-1/4 in and 1-5/8 in coaxial cable in roof-top applications. Pre-punched with overlapping flanges that allow the covers to be easily spliced together, the kits utilize a newly designed hold down clamp which eliminates the need for an alignment guide. Each kit includes an 8 ft cover, three sleepers, six hold-down clamps, and hardware and are available in three widths allowing up to 36 runs.

WeatherShield Connection Protection Enclosures

Andrew's WeatherShield Connection Protection Enclosures seal and protect connectors from the environment. This robust, one-piece weatherproofing enclosure offers an additional measure of system protection by providing a high-temperature resistant, watertight seal around the connectors while also helping to dampen vibration that can loosen connector interfaces over time.

The reusable enclosure contains an innovative trifold seal that provides complete moisture block for installed connectors. Its IP 68 rating ensures an effective barrier against ingress of water, and the ease of installation on hard-to-reach connections and the long-term protection makes it the most cost-effective solution available today.

WeatherShield Connection Protection Enclosures take just seconds to install, even in the harshest weather environment. Simply place the housing around the connector and snap the tabs together. No tapes, tools, or shrink tubes are required. They will accommodate Type N and 7-16 DIN connections and are compatible with HELIAX cable, SureFlex cable assemblies and most other brands of cable and cable assemblies.

TESSCO maintains a deep inventory on the ½” (jumper) to antenna, 1-5/8” to jumper,  and 7/8” to jumper versions. 1-1/4” to jumper is also available.
