SUMMARY SECTION:

Compatible with wireless items that have RP-SMA antenna jacks/connectors.

Clips on laptop-screen edge Fits all types of screen edges: curved and flat/squared

CARRY ANYWHERE: Fits in laptop bag. USE IT ANYWHERE: So low profile that you can use it wherever you use your wireless card: Car, classroom, library, coffeeshop - anywhere.

IMPROVE SIGNAL by having a vertical antenna: "Vertical polarity" of your antenna (vs. the horizontal polarity of antennas inside most WiFi cards) adds MUCH more signal gain !

Comes with 20-inch (500mm) cable ("pigtail") with RP-SMA(male) connector. Use with one of the adapters below to fit your PCMCIA wireless card, for protection of fragile jacks of PCMCIA cards

Short antenna cables are better, as signal is lost in antenna cables:

This antenna has the same net gain as a 7dBi antenna with a 1.5 meter cable.

Compliant with 802.11b & 802.11g (worldwide WiFi standards that include N. America & Europe) .

COMPATIBILITY

Connector fits items that have an RP-SMA (Reverse Polarity [RP] SMA) jack/connector. RP-SMA = Reverse Polarity SMA

GENDER DETERMINATION: Gender of RP-SMA is counter-intuitive in two ways: Please observe picture & note it is correct.

1. The gender is referring to the pins inside--not the threads. RP-SMA male has threads on inside.

2. "RP" stands for reverse polarization - the pins are female when they appear to be male, and vice versa.

Compatibility question? Please reference: searchable database of all wireless gear to find if your equipment is compatible with this item: Search by brand and/or model number.

Almost all PCI wireless cards (for desktop) have RP-SMA (female) connectors.
