What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Wilson 859976 Tap for its exceptional reliability and precision, essential for complex cellular signal booster installations. Reviewers consistently highlight that the advertised ten decibel attenuation is accurate, which is crucial for effectively balancing signal distribution across multiple antennas and preventing system feedback. The robust build quality, featuring durable metal housing and high-grade connectors, instills confidence in its long-term performance, even in demanding installation environments. While this component is specialized, users feel the cost is justified by its role in stabilizing expensive booster systems. For professionals prioritizing system integrity and precise signal management, this tap is viewed as the dependable industry standard, leading to high satisfaction.
Know before you buy
A tap is used to divert a specific portion of the signal power to a secondary branch or antenna while allowing the majority of the signal to continue down the main cable line. This is essential for balancing signal strength across multiple indoor antennas in larger installations.
Yes, this tap is designed to support a wide frequency range from 600 to 4000 MHz, which covers all current 2G, 3G, 4G, LTE, and 5G cellular standards.
Yes, it features an IP65 rating, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it durable enough for both indoor and outdoor environments.
No, this is a passive component. It does not require electricity to operate and functions solely by managing the signal power passing through the coaxial cables.
This model uses N-Female connectors, which are the industry standard for 50 Ohm cellular signal booster systems.
The tap itself introduces a minimal insertion loss of 0.5 dB. Keep in mind that the -10 dB refers to the signal power diverted to the tap port, which is a standard reduction for balancing signal distribution.
