Cambium Networks PTP 550E Connectorized Integrated Radio (C050055H014A)

Product Overview & Features Description

Establish ultra-high capacity backhaul links across long distances with the Cambium Networks PTP 550E Connectorized Integrated Radio (Part Number: C050055H014A). Operating over an extended frequency band from 4.9 GHz up to 6.2 GHz, this enterprise-grade wireless point-to-point bridge delivers up to 1.4 Gbps aggregate throughput. The Cambium Networks PTP 550E Connectorized radio harnesses asymmetric, non-contiguous channel bonding across dual independent channels. By combining two separate 80 MHz channels simultaneously, network operators can bypass localized radio frequency interference and maximize throughput without needing contiguous spectrum blocks.

Constructed for harsh mission-critical deployments, the Cambium Networks PTP 550E Connectorized features a ruggedized IP66/IP67-rated all-metal enclosure designed to resist extreme weather, high solar radiation, and wind loads. Two standard N-type RF connectors allow seamless pairing with high-gain directional dish or panel antennas. With built-in Dynamic Channel Selection (DCS), the Cambium Networks PTP 550E Connectorized continuously inspects the RF environment via its live spectrum analyzer, shifting channels without service interruption.

Security and management are integrated from day one. The Cambium Networks PTP 550E Connectorized safeguards data using 128-bit AES link encryption and supports central cloud monitoring through Cambium cnMaestro™. When planning long-distance telecom relays, ISP distribution, or enterprise campus links, the Cambium Networks PTP 550E Connectorized provides dependable latency as low as 2.2 ms.

• Auxiliary Optical SFP Port: 1x SFP cage supporting optional single-mode or multi-mode optical transceivers for long fiber tower runs without electrical interference.

• RF Antenna Terminals: 2x N-Type female RF connectors configured for cross-polarized or dual-polarity external dishes and antennas.

• Synchronization / Timing: Synchronization support via cnPulse and CMM5 modules for co-located tower deployments without self-interference.

Cambium Networks PTP 550E Connectorized Pros & Key Benefits

• Non-Contiguous Channel Bonding: Aggregate bandwidth from two separate RF slices across the 5 GHz band, eliminating the need to locate a single clear 160 MHz or 80 MHz channel.

• Integrated SFP Optical Interface: Enables direct fiber termination up the communications mast, safeguarding the connection against lightning transients and ground loops.

• Extreme Long-Distance Capability: Supports transmission distances up to 200 km when paired with appropriate external parabolic dishes.

• Dynamic Spectrum Analysis: Features a dedicated, non-disruptive background spectrum scanner that executes Dynamic Channel Selection (DCS) automatically in congested environments.

• Carrier-Grade Metal Chassis: IP66/IP67 rated weatherproofing resists heavy downpours, wind vibration, and dust ingress.
