How to Choose the Right Antennas for Your Booster
Outside Antennas:
- Yagi Directional Antenna: This antenna is more powerful because it focuses on sending and receiving signals in one direction. It works best when there are no major obstacles blocking its path to the cell tower. It's not ideal for areas with large obstructions like hills or buildings.
- Omni Antenna: This antenna sends and receives in all directions, so it's better for hilly areas or if you need to support multiple carriers with towers in different directions. It doesn’t need to be aimed, but it also isn’t as strong as the Yagi antenna.
- High Gain LPDA Antenna: Perfect for areas with very weak signals, this antenna significantly boosts signal strength. It needs a clear line of sight to the cell tower and requires a sturdy mount because of its size.
Inside Antennas:
- Panel Antenna: Can be placed on walls or ceilings and directs the signal towards a specific area. This antenna is great for homes and tall ceilings in buildings.
- Standard Dome Antenna: Designed to mounted on the ceiling, this antenna spreads the signal evenly throughout the area. It's best suited for drop ceilings or spaces where cables can be run above the ceiling.
- Ultra-Thin Dome Antenna: This slim antenna also mounts to the ceiling, but is much is less noticeable. It's much stronger than a standard dome antenna, making it a great choice for places where both looks and signal strength are important.
Tips for Choosing:
- Choose Omni Antennas for general coverage with no aiming required.
- Choose Directional Antennas (Yagi or LPDA) when you can point directly at a cell tower and need stronger signal and more inside coverage.
- Interior Size Considerations: One antenna per 750-1,500 sq ft in homes, or 1,500-2,500 sq ft in open spaces like offices and warehouses.

Product Information
Product Information
The Wilson 971151 F-Male to N-Female Adapter is an essential tool for enhancing your signal boosting setup, particularly when integrating different types of cables within your system. This adapter allows you to connect Wilson400 ultra low loss coax cable to components typically used with RG-6 cable, facilitating longer cable runs without the risk of significant signal loss.
Using this adapter, you can extend the reach of your signal booster system while maintaining optimal performance. For a complete setup, you would need two of these adapters: one connects on the amplifier side and the other on the antenna side of your setup. This configuration ensures a secure and effective connection between differing cable types and interfaces.
- Functionality: Enables the use of Wilson400 cable in systems originally configured for RG-6, ideal for long-distance installations where signal integrity is crucial.
- Connector Compatibility: Features an F-Male connector on one end and an N-Female connector on the other, bridging components with different connector requirements.
- Signal Integrity: Minimizes signal loss over extended distances, essential for maintaining strong and reliable coverage.
- Installation Requirements: To implement a complete solution, two adapters are necessary—one for each end of the cable setup.
This adapter is a valuable addition for anyone looking to optimize their signal booster system with longer cable runs, ensuring effective connectivity and performance across extended distances.
