Versatile 5 GHz modular radio

The Mimosa C5x is a modular 5 GHz radio designed for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint links. Its native 8 dBi gain can be increased to 12, 16, 20 or 25 dBi using twist-on N5-X antennas. The unit operates across 4.9 to 6.4 GHz and delivers up to 500 Mbps in PTMP mode or 700 Mbps in PTP mode. It suits ISPs and network builders who need flexible gain options for varied link distances.

Low power draw and rugged sealing

Maximum power consumption is 12.9 W and the radio requires a 48 V PoE adapter. An IP55 rating protects the housing against dust and water jets for outdoor deployment. The integrated design provides front-to-back and front-to-side interference immunity that reduces localized noise. No active cooling is mentioned, so thermal performance relies on the sealed enclosure.

Native 8 dBi gain with modular upgrade path

The radio ships with 8 dBi native gain and supports four higher-gain antenna modules for longer or more challenging links. Buyers who need a fixed high-gain antenna without modular flexibility should consider other form factors. The extended 4.9 to 6.4 GHz frequency range covers licensed and unlicensed 5 GHz bands. A 48 V PoE injector must be sourced separately.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the C5x 8 dBi radio and attach a twist-on N5-X antenna without losing the IP55 seal?

Mount the radio on a pole or wall using its integrated bracket, then align the N5-X antenna's twist-on connector and rotate until the locking detent clicks; the O-ring seats automatically to maintain IP55.

What replacement parts will the C5x 8 dBi radio need over its service life?

The PoE-48 V injector and any attached N5-X modular antenna are the only field-replaceable items; the radio itself has no user-serviceable components.

At what sustained throughput does the C5x 8 dBi radio hit its thermal or power limit first?

The radio draws a maximum of 12.9 W and is rated for 500 Mbps in PTMP or 700 Mbps in PTP; sustained operation at those speeds stays within the 27 dBm output power envelope.
