Overview

Southwest Antennas Part # 1040-033 is a 12.5" RF Coaxial Gooseneck Assembly that allows for flexible antenna mounting

options, allowing omni antennas to be mounted in different positions with respect to other antennas. This becomes particularly

useful when dealing with MIMO radio antenna setups & dismounted user applications. Southwest Antennas RF Coaxial

Gooseneck Assemblies can also be threaded through vest loops, web gear, and MOLLE gear giving users increased flexibility

in antenna mounting options.

Part # 1040-033 from Southwest Antennas operates from DC to 12 GHz, features an overall length of 12.5 inches, an outside

diameter of 0.47 inches, and stainless steel TNC(m) Rotating RF connectors with hex flats on both ends of the assembly. This

model is waterproof to a depth of 20 meters (65.6 ft.), can bend and hold past a 180-degree angle, and has a black low-visibility

finish.

Note: Southwest Antennas recommends hand-tightening the RF connectors to "finger tight" in order to avoid damaging the

gooseneck assembly by applying too much torque. Using hand tools to tighten may result in unintended damage to the product.
