Why Choose the CELmar2-1FME Marine VHF Antenna?
The CELmar2-1FME Marine VHF Antenna is a practical choice where a compact fibreglass VHF antenna is required with a factory-fitted cable and FME connector. This makes it especially useful for marine VHF and AIS installations where FME terminations are preferred for routing cable through tight spaces before fitting the final adaptor.
Supplied with 6m of RG58C/U cable and a UHF-Male adaptor, the CELmar2-1FME gives installers flexibility when connecting to standard marine VHF radios, AIS transceivers and compatible RF systems.
The antenna uses AC Antennas’ reinforced crimped construction technology, fibreglass housing and copper radiating elements to provide dependable performance in demanding marine and land-based environments.
Marine VHF Installation & Connector Compatibility
The CELmar2-1FME is supplied with a FME-Female connector and includes a UHF-Male adaptor. This is useful where the cable needs to be routed through narrow glands, conduits or mast sections before the final radio connector is fitted.
The antenna uses a standard 1″-14 TPI female ferrule, making it compatible with many common marine antenna mounts.
Marine VHF & AIS Use Cases
- Fixed marine VHF radio installations
- AIS transceiver antenna installations
- Yachts and sailing vessels
- Workboats and harbour craft
- Commercial vessel communication systems
- Land-based VHF communication installations
- Installations where FME cable routing is preferred
Marine VHF Range Considerations
VHF range depends heavily on antenna height, cable condition, connector quality and surrounding vessel structure. The CELmar2-1FME provides reliable omnidirectional 0 dBd performance for general marine VHF and AIS communication systems.
