Everything is in the one housing reducing the need for multiples antenna installations. This is the ideal antenna for 3G gateway routers that provide Wi-Fi hotspots. Typical Applications Include: - Smart Metering - Routers and Gateways - Connected Enterprise It has been designed for heavy duty work with extra thick threads; with durable UV-resistant, ABS housing is resistant to vandalism and direct attack. At only 29mm high and 49mm in diameter this antenna enables covert operation and its quality is proven by growing adoption by many of the world's largest wireless brands. The standard cable length is 2 meters. The Hercules MA520’s exceptional design means it can work equally well mounted on or without ground-plane. The cables and connectors are fully customizable, for further information please contact your regional Taoglas customer support team. www.taoglas.com 3 SPE-13-8-071-G ## **2.** Specifications **==> picture [40 x 42] intentionally omitted <==** |**Cellular Electrical**|**Cellular Electrical**|**Cellular Electrical**|**Cellular Electrical**|**Cellular Electrical**|**Cellular Electrical**|**Cellular Electrical**|**Cellular Electrical**|**Cellular Electrical**|**Cellular Electrical**|**Cellular Electrical**|||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||||||||||||||| ||**Frequency**||||**Efficiency**|**Average Gain**||<br>**Peak Gain**||**Max Input**|**Impedance**||**Radiation**| |**Band**||||||||||||**Polarization**|| ||**(MHz)**||||**(%)**|**(dB)**||**(dBi)**||**Power**|||**Pattern**| ||||||||||||||| |**5GNR/4G**||Free space|||37.4|-4.3||0|||50 Ω||| |Band 5,8,18,19,20,|700~960|30*30cm<br>Ground Plane|||||||||||| ||||||32.2|-4.9||0.7|||||| |26,27,28, 29|||||||||||||| |**4G/3G**||Free space|||32|-4.9||0.9|||||| |Band|1710~2200|30*30cm<br>Ground Plane|||||||||||| ||||||30.9|-5.1||2.4|||||| |1,2,3,4,9,23,25,35,39,66|||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||| |||Free space|||7.9|-11||-4.2|||||| |**4G/3G**|||||||||||||| ||2490~2690|30*30cm<br>Ground Plane||||||||10W||Linear|Omni| |Band 7,38,41|||||10.3|-9.9||-2.9|||||| ||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||| |**5GNR/4G**||Free space|||9.1|-10.4||-2.2|||||| |Band|3300~3800|30*30cm<br>Ground Plane|||15.2|-8.2||-0.3|||||| |22,42,43,48,77,78,79|||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||| |||Free space|||13.6|-8.7||1.7|||||| |**LTE5200/**|||||||||||||| ||5150~5925|30*30cm<br>Ground Plane|||21.2|-6.7||1.1|||||| |**Wi-Fi 5800**|||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||| ||||||**Wi-Fi Electrical**||||||||| ||||||||||||||| |||**Frequency**|||**Efficiency**||**Peak Gain**||||**Impedance**||**Radiation**| |**Band**|||||||||**Max Power Input**|||**Polarization**|| |||**(MHz)**|||**(%)**||**(dBi)**||||||**Pattern**| ||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||50 Ω||| |**2.4GHz Wi-Fi**||2400~2500||25|||2.1||||||| ||||||||||10W|||Linear|Omni| ||||||||||||||| |**5.8GHz Wi-Fi**||5150~5850||20|||-3.2||||||| |||||**Mechanical**|||||||||| |Dimensions|||29*Ø49mm||||||||||| |Cable|||2m RG-316||||||||||| |Connector|||Cellular: SMA(M) Straight<br>Wi-Fi: Reverse Polarity SMA(M) Straight||||||||||| |Thread Diameter|||18mm||||||||||| |Casing|||UV Resistant ABS||||||||||| |Weatherproof Gasket|||CR4305 Foam with 3M9448B Double sided adhesive||||||||||| |Sealant|||Rubber Stopper||||||||||| |Base Thread|||Nickel Plated||||||||||| |**Environmental**|||||||||||||| |Corrosion|||5% NaCI for 96hrs||||||||||| |Temperature Range|||-40°C to +85°C||||||||||| |Thermal Shock|||100 cycles -40°C to +85°C||||||||||| |Humidity|||Non-condensing 65°C 95% RH||||||||||| |Shock (Drop Test)|||1m drop on concrete 6 axes||||||||||| |RoHs & REACH Compliant|||Yes||||||||||| www.taoglas.com SPE-13-8-071-G 4 ||**5G/4G Bands**|**5G/4G Bands**|**5G/4G Bands**| |---|---|---|---| |Band Number|5GNR/FR1/LTE/LTE-Advanced/WCDMA/HSPA/HSPA+/TD-SCDMA||| ||**Uplink**|**Downlink**|**Covered**| |**1**|UL: 1920 to 1980|DL: 2110 to 2170|✓| |**2**|UL: 1850 to 1910|DL: 1930 to 1990|✓| |**3**|UL: 1710 to 1785|DL: 1805 to 1880|✓| |**4**|UL: 1710 to 1755|DL: 2110 to 2155|✓| |**5**|UL: 824 to 849|DL: 869 to 894|✓| |**7**|UL: 2500 to 2570|DL:2620 to 2690|✓| |**8**|UL: 880 to 915|DL: 925 to 960|✓| |**9**|UL: 1749.9 to 1784.9|DL: 1844.9 to 1879.9|✓| |**11**|UL: 1427.9 to 1447.9|DL: 1475.9 to 1495.9|| |**12**|UL: 699 to 716|DL: 729 to 746|| |**13**|UL: 777 to 787|DL: 746 to 756|| |**14**|UL: 788 to 798|DL: 758 to 768|✓| |**17**|UL: 704 to 716|DL: 734 to 746|| |**18**|UL: 815 to 830|DL: 860 to 875|✓| |**19**|UL: 830 to 845|DL: 875 to 890|✓| |**20**|UL: 832 to 862|DL: 791 to 821|✓| |**21**|UL: 1447.9 to 1462.9|DL: 1495.9 to 1510.9|| |**22**|UL: 3410 to 3490|DL: 3510 to 3590|✓| |**23**|UL:2000 to 2020|DL: 2180 to 2200|✓| |**24**|UL:1625.5 to 1660.5|DL: 1525 to 1559|✓| |**25**|UL: 1850 to 1915|DL: 1930 to 1995|✓| |**26**|UL: 814 to 849|DL: 859 to 894|✓| |**27**|UL: 807 to 824|DL: 852 to 869|✓| |**28**|UL: 703 to 748|DL: 758 to 803|✓| |**29**|UL: -|DL: 717 to 728|| |**30**|UL: 2305 to 2315|DL: 2350 to 2360|| |**31**|UL: 452.5 to 457.5|DL: 462.5 to 467.5|| |**32**|UL: -|DL: 1452 – 1496|| |**35**|1850 to 1910||✓| |**38**|2570 to 2620||✓| |**39**|1880 to 1920||✓| |**40**|2300 to 2400||| |**41**|2496 to 2690||✓| |**42**|3400 to 3600||✓| |**43**|3600 to 3800||✓| |**48**|3550 to 3700||✓| |**66**|UL: 1710-1780|DL: 2110-2200|✓| |**71**|617 to 698||| |**74/75/76**|1427 to 1518||| |**77**|3300 to 4200||✓| |**78**|3300 to 3800||✓| |**79**|4400 to 5000||✓| www.taoglas.com 5 SPE-13-8-071-G ##

About Novapart
Novapart is a B2B electronic component broker specialising in stock shortages and cost reduction. We source hard-to-find parts and identify compliant alternatives across a catalogue of 410,000+ components from 500+ manufacturers.
Learn more →Stock Shortage Specialist
When a component is unavailable, discontinued or has an unacceptable lead time, we tap into our network of vetted European and Asian distributors to source what you need — without compromising on quality or traceability.
Request a quote →Compliant Alternatives
We identify pin-to-pin, electrically equivalent substitutes that meet the same certifications (RoHS, AEC-Q100, REACH) as your original specification — validated against datasheets, not just part numbers. Often at a lower cost.
