There are 4 different versions of NetMetal 5 :

NetMetal Dual Chain with miniPCI-e slot (RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM)
NetMetal Triple Chain with miniPCI-e slot (RB922UAGS-5HPacT-NM)
NetMetal Dual Chain Super High Power 2000mW (RB921UAGS-5SHPacD-NM)
NetMetal Triple Chain Super High Power 2000mW (RB921UAGS-5SHPacT-NM)

Reading is very hard
"Triple chain 5GHz integrated 802.11ac AP/Backbone/CPE, 3xRPSMA connectors, 2000mW TX power, Gigabit Ethernet, waterproof metal enclosure
"

So, is there a part number for the triple chain antenna ?

Order code RB921UAGS-5SHPacT-NM RB921UAGS-5SHPacD-NM RB922UAGS-5HPacT-NM RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM

My question is for the part number 3x3 (30 db) Miktotik dish, not the routerboard motherboards or electronics.


Thank you

There is no such antenna

And how do we use the three SMA connectors for 3x3 MIMO in a point-to-point long distance link? Can we use a dual-polarized dish plus another dish?

MikroTik is producing NetMETAL, there is very high demand for this product (demand was much higher that we expected, upcoming batches until December has been booked out by Distributors, call around to see who can offer you best lead times).

There are no any known issues with MANT antenna and NetMETAL, MANT has two chains (and can be used together).

No, it is RPSMA.

So, what is the configuration should be done on RB to configure it to use Dual chain instead of triple.
In addition, I can’t find mANT30 here in Lebanon, which alternative you recommend to use with Net Metal 5 RB921 Triple Chain.

Thank you in advance.

Third chain should be disabled by software. Two chains provide you with ~866 Mbps datarate.

Contact your distributor and ask for any available triple chain antenna, that might fit your requirements.
