Hi,
I have a site with MR76 and they have the MA-ANT-20, and I'm looking for a recommended outdoor enclosure,
Regards
Solved! Go to solution.
OK. I think the general recommendation would be to try to put it somewhere well out of reach, rather than enclose it - the more sturdy an enclosure is, the more it will affect signal strength OK - greater sturdiness doesn't necessarily equate to increased dB loss, but you take the point, I hope. Definitely plastic rather than metal, anyway!
You could look to put the AP in an enclosure and cable to antennas outside - but that would mean different, more costly antennas - which would then not get the protection of the enclosure either.
They could use a cluster of MV cameras to keep an eye on the AP (and each other)...? 😁
Why would they need an enclosure - these products are already outdoor rated...?
I agree, but this is more for theft or vandalism.

Thanks for the recommendation,
I've used plastic electrical enclosures before. They are very tough, and a vandal would have to think twice before breaking into something that looks like it might contain electricity.
Good one. Thanks
