Mounting Brackets for Antennas and Masts
This category features various Extralink mounting and fastening elements for the secure installation of antennas, masts, and other outdoor devices. Thanks to the galvanized and stainless steel design, the products withstand weather conditions over the long term, making them ideal for solutions mounted on balconies, walls, or roofs.
The range includes brackets that can be mounted on balcony railings and walls, roof-mounted supports, masts and mast clamps, as well as M8 U-shaped screws for stable and secure installation. Choose from different sizes and designs based on the load and the characteristics of the installation location.
- Handles and grips for balcony railings (e.g., Extralink B300, C400, C600, L250x750)
- Wall-mounted brackets and wall supports (e.g., Extralink L200, L400, L500, L700, L300x1000)
- Roof-mounted solutions (e.g., Extralink P600)
- Masts and mast-mounted clamps, brackets (e.g., Extralink M1000, K150, K250, KK200)
- M8 U-shaped screws and accessories for fastening (e.g., Extralink M8 standard, medium and large sizes)
Applications and Use Cases
The primary application area for the brackets and clamps in this category is the stable mounting of antennas, masts, cameras, and other network devices. The balcony railing-mounted supports (such as the Extralink B300, C400, C600, or L250x750 models) are ideal for multi-family homes where drilling into the facade is limited, yet the railing provides a reliable mounting point.
The wall-mounted brackets (Extralink L200, L300, L400, L500, L600, L700, as well as the Fi 50 mm diameter versions) are primarily used where solid masonry is available, and precise antenna direction or greater extension is important. Longer solutions with arm lengths between 300–1000 mm (e.g., L300x1000, L250x750) are particularly suitable when avoiding the plane of the roof or the ledge is necessary.
The mast-mounted clamps and brackets (Extralink K75, K150, K250, K500, KP150, KK200) allow for secure connections to masts and pipes. These products ensure a fixed, twist-free fastening with M8 U-shaped screws, which is essential for antennas placed high and subjected to greater wind loads. Additionally, galvanized steel masts, such as the Extralink M1000 or M1500, can be used for the complete setup of an antenna system.
Material Use, Load Capacity, and Corrosion Resistance
Most products are made of galvanized steel, which provides good value for money and reliable corrosion protection in outdoor conditions. The Extralink L200-inox, L300-inox, L400-inox, and L500-inox types made of stainless steel are recommended for those seeking particularly durable solutions in salty, highly humid, or industrial environments. When selecting the appropriate material, it is important to consider the geographical characteristics of the installation location, UV exposure, and the expected maintenance frequency.
Load capacity is also an important consideration: the longer the bracket's extension (e.g., 400, 500, or 600 mm arms), the greater the leverage force acting on the wall or railing. Therefore, for larger or heavier antennas, it is advisable to choose a more robust support with a larger diameter pipe and multiple fastening points. The U-shaped M8 screws (medium, large, and standard sizes) ensure the appropriate clamping force, making the quality of screws and clamps crucial for the overall stability of the system.
How to Choose the Right Bracket?
Before purchasing, it is worth considering the following aspects:
- Type of Installation Location: balcony railing, solid wall, roof, windbreak, or mast (e.g., S100–S150 combined wall/balcony brackets, P600 roof-mounted solution).
- Extension and Size: from small brackets of 100–150 mm (S100, S150) to models with arm lengths of 600–1000 mm (L600, L700, L300x1000) based on the planned antenna size and the distance from the wall plane.
- Material and Surface Treatment: galvanized steel for general outdoor use, stainless steel (inox) for extreme weather or industrial environments.
- Fastening Method: U-shaped M8 screws, clamps for gripping railings or pipes, or direct dowel/screw wall fastening.
- Compatibility: the diameter of the existing mast, the mounting points of the antenna, and the structural load capacity.
A properly selected bracket and clamp not only guarantee safe installation but also assist in the precise adjustment of the antenna, long-term stability, and minimizing potential maintenance costs.
