Product Overview
The SH-IN2618 is the 5G Sharkee kit for routers with three external Wi-Fi ports. It puts two 4G/5G cellular elements covering 617-6000 MHz, three Wi-Fi 6 elements and an active GPS/GNSS antenna inside an OEM-style sharkfin rated IP69K.
The kit pairs the Panorama SHKG-6-60-TW antenna with factory-fitted 5 m (16 ft) flame-retardant cables. Cellular and GPS cables end in SMA male plugs and the three Wi-Fi cables end in reverse-polarity SMA plugs, so installation is antenna, roof hole and router.

Right for you if
- You want 5G coverage from 617 MHz to 6 GHz in an OEM-style sharkfin.
- Your router has three external Wi-Fi ports plus 2x2 cellular and GPS.
- You want cables fitted at the factory rather than building your own.
- For 698-3800 MHz only, the SH-IN2463 is the SHKG-7-27 version of this layout.
FAQ
Will it mount on a fiberglass or composite roof?
Panorama states the SHKG-6-60 can be fitted on a metallic or non-metallic panel and still offer similar performance. It mounts through a single hole and is slim enough to fit between the roof ribs on all major vehicle makes, according to Panorama, and it can replace a factory-fitted antenna on retrofit installs.
What connectors are on the cables?
The SH-IN2618 ships with 5 m (16 ft) cables fitted at the factory, one per element. The two cellular cables and the GPS cable end in SMA male plugs, and the three Wi-Fi cables end in reverse-polarity SMA plugs. Panorama also lists a loose-cable (-LC) version and a white SH-IN2618-W.
How is this different from the SH-IN2463?
Both kits carry 2x2 cellular, 3x3 Wi-Fi and GPS. The SH-IN2618 uses the SHKG-6-60 antenna, which covers 617-6000 MHz with up to 9 dBi and is rated IP69K. The SH-IN2463 uses the SHKG-7-27, which covers 698-3800 MHz with up to 5 dBi and is rated IP66. Choose the SH-IN2618 for 600 MHz or bands above 3.8 GHz.
