LigoWave Wireless Bridge, 5 GHz 802.11ac, 15 dBi Antenna, 500+ Mbps DLB-5-15AC
About this product
The LigoWave DLB-5-15AC is a wireless bridge device for 5 GHz point-to-point or point-to-multipoint links. It suits installers linking buildings or cameras without trenching cable. It offers 500+ Mbps throughput, with a recommended distance of 7 km in PTP mode and 5 km in PTMP mode.
Key features
- Capacity for demanding links – 500+ Mbps throughput using 802.11ac and iPoll
- Point-to-point reach – recommended distance 7 km in PTP mode and 5 km in PTMP mode
- Antenna built in – integrated dual-polarized directional panel antenna, 15 dBi gain
- Made for outdoor mounting – IP-65 weather protection rating and an enclosure with no metal parts
- Ready to power and mount – AC to 24 VDC adapter and pole mounting bracket included
- Grows with older kit – backwards compatible with LigoDLB devices using iPoll mode
For installers
- Power: 24 VDC passive PoE, not a standards-based PoE input. Adapter runs from 100 – 240 VAC, power consumption (max) 10 W.
- Mounting: pole mounting bracket included. Dimensions 158 mm, 97 mm, 38 mm, weight 185 g.
- Cabling: one 10/100/1000 Base-T RJ45 port, which also takes the 24V passive PoE.
- Compatibility: backwards compatible with LigoDLB devices using iPoll mode. Check with the maker before mixing with other makes.
- Standards: IEEE 802.11 a/n/ac, iPoll 3. Certification FCC/IC/CE.
Frequently asked questions
Is one unit enough for a wireless link?
No. A point-to-point link needs a device at each end, so plan on two for one link.
How far will it reach?
LigoWave's distance recommendation is 7 km in PTP mode and 5 km in PTMP mode. Treat those as recommendations, because a clear line of sight and local conditions affect the result.
Does it come with a power supply?
Yes. An AC to 24 VDC adapter is included in the package, and it runs from 100 – 240 VAC.
Can a PoE switch power it?
Only if that switch offers 24 VDC passive PoE. Do not assume a standard PoE switch port will power it.
Can it be mounted outdoors?
Yes. It has an IP-65 weather protection rating, a pole mounting bracket is included, and the operating temperature is -40°C (-40 F) ~ +65°C (+149 F).
Does the 500 Mbps figure apply to any setup?
No. It is the throughput figure for the device, and real links depend on channel size, signal and distance.
