Antenna Weatherproof IP67
Screw-Mount / "Through-hole mount" on back of antenna
Compact, puck shaped antenna for band 2.4GHz WiFi / WLAN / Bluetooth / ZigBee frequencies.
We also have a dual-band version (2.4 & 5GHz), a 5GHz version, 900MHZ GSM version, and a 433MHz version.
- Mount on any panel or board that you can drill a hole through, such as a ceiling panel, wall or drywall.
- Easily mounts in a ceiling tile, by drilling a hold in the tile of the same diameter. Antenna has a nut and washer to mount the antenna on a ceiling mount.
- Mount on ceiling or wall panel so that the antenna faces down from the ceiling, or horizontally from the wall.
- Can be mounted securely inside or outside, with its 22mm long screw thread.
- The directional beam radiates forward from the face of the antenna.
- Dimensions:
- Largest diameter: 78mm (3in)
- Smallest diameter of antenna body: 63mm (2.5in)
- Depth (or height): 23mm (.90in)
- Diameter of through-hole mount: 11/16 inch (17mm) including outer part of threads.
- Directional antenna concentrates the radiation in one direction, to maximize signal strength.Screw mount
- The limited beamwidth reduces "signal noise" / interference from other WiFi networks and third-party wireless devices, resulting in much greater performance of the device connected to this antenna (especially as compared to omni-directional antennas , which pickup 360-degrees of signal noise.
Compatibility with wireless standards & applications :
- IoT wireless & M2M: Bluetooth, ZigBee, Wi-Fi HaLow and ISM . Since it is vertically polarized , it is compatible with many machine to machine communication applications, remote monitoring, and telemetry applications.
- 2.4GHz WiFi applications: 802.11N, 802.11G, 802.11B, 802.11AH.
- Linear polarized, it is suitable for many of today’s machine to machine and communication applications such as telemetry, remote monitoring and mesh networking applications.
- Directional , direct connect antenna tuned to perform on 2.4GHz networks.
Suitable and compliant for all the above applications because of this antenna's range of frequency band compatibility in the 2.4 ~ 2.5 GHz frequency band range , its low broadband VSWR , and impedance matching to 50 Ohm gear .
Waterproof: Totally sealed IP67 casing, with rubber seal gasket to prevent risk of water ingress.
SPECIFICATIONS:
| Technology: | WiFi / WLAN / Bluetooth/ ZigBee |
| Frequency: | 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz (2400MHz to 2500MHz) |
| Gain: | 5 dBi |

TEST RESULTS for FREQUENCY RANGES:
The device shows good performance in the 2.4 GHz band, with its best impedance matching around 2.47 GHz. At this point, a return loss of −11.8 dB is achieved, indicating efficient signal transmission.
The SWR ≈ 1.7:1 confirms a stable and functional matching, suitable for applications such as WiFi and Bluetooth. Overall, the results demonstrate solid performance within the expected operating range
| Frequency range | Assessment | Rating | Technical performance details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.40 GHz – 2.50 GHz | 2.4 GHz Band RF Performance | ★★★★ | RF performance evaluated across the 2.40 GHz – 2.50 GHz frequency range, showing stable impedance behavior within the operating band. At 2.47 GHz, the measured VSWR is approximately 1.7:1 with a Return Loss close to −11.8 dB, indicating good impedance matching and efficient signal transmission in the 2.4 GHz operating region. The measured impedance is approximately 45.9 − j25 Ω, indicating a slightly reactive condition relative to the nominal 50 Ω system impedance. The Smith chart trajectory remains compact near the center region, confirming stable RF behavior and consistent performance across the evaluated frequency range. |
ROHS 3 & REACH compliant: Antenna, cable and connector are all compliant with regulatory requirements.
- Mounts directly onto RP-SMA(female) connector of access point, bridge, USB WiFi adapter, or booster. See other magnetic bases that fit this antenna and have antenna cables with other types of connectors.
