Antenna 5.1 ~ 5.8GHz 3dBi Omni-Directional Dipole w/RP-SMA-male connector

This omni-directional dipole antenna is designed for WiFi wireless Communications in the 5.1 ~ 5.8GHz band.

This antenna has a low VSWR: Low V.S.W.R. being a measure of the high signal efficiency of this antenna. Most 5GHz dipole antennas in this price range have a higher VSWR, which translates to lower efficiency and therefore lower quality.

Omni directional dipole antenna: Radiates signal with a beam of 360 degrees; also receives signal from 360 degrees around it.

Compatibility with wireless standards & applications: This omni directional antenna's range of frequency band compatibility in the 5100~5800MHz frequency band range, its very low broadband VSWR at < 1.8 (lower VSWR is better), and impedance matching to 50 Ohm gear, makes it suitable and compliant for all the following applications:

• IoT wireless & M2M: Bluetooth, ZigBee, and ISM. Since it is vertically polarized, it is compatible with many machine to machine communication applications, remote monitoring, and telemetry applications. 
• 5GHz Frequency Band: Suitable for 802.11ac WiFi and any other wireless application that uses the 5100 - 5800 GHz frequency band.
• Compatible with Bluetooth devices, Wireless Access Points & other wireless devices that have RP-SMA antenna jacks
• As Bluetooth antenna: Send or receive signal to devices in all directions (360-degree horizontal beamwidth)
• As client antenna: Connect to access points in any direction. Portable size: Easily fits in a laptop case.

Features & applications

• As access point antenna: Provides signal to clients in any direction (360-degree horizontal beamwidth)
• As client antenna: Connect to an access point in any direction
• Capable of extending your wireless range up to 300 meters.
• Suitable for outdoor or indoor wireless gear with RP-SMA-female.

ROHS 3 & REACH compliant: Antenna, cable and connector are all compliant with ROHS 3 and REACH.

RP-SMA and SMA Connector Characteristics and Details: 

• RP-SMA = Reverse Polarity SMA. Also known as SMA-RP, SMA-R, SMA RP, SMA R.
• RP-SMA and SMA gender is counter-intuitive: The gender is referring to the pins inside-not the threads. RP-SMA male have threads on the inside. More details regarding RP-SMA gender determination. 
• RP-SMA-male and SMA are also called "plugs" and the respective female connectors are also called "jacks".
• RP-SMA and SMA are round screw-type connectors, with medium-sized, threaded coupling connectors that are rated for frequencies from the lowest (DC) up to 18GHz.
• SMA-male connector fits items that have an SMA (female) jack/connector.
• We offer an SMA wrench to assist in installing antennas, cables and adapters with SMA or RP-SMA connector(s).
• Composition of SMA male and RP-SMA male connectors:
  • 96% brass-copper alloy
  • Less than 4% lead content (ROHS Compliant)
  • 0.1% Chromium VI compound
  • 0.01% (by weight) Cadmium / cadmium compounds
  • 0.1% Mercury
  • 0.1% PBBs
  • 0.1% PBDE
• 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.
• Articulating (Bendable) Right Angle: This antenna can be angled up to 90 degrees (articulating right angle) or positioned straight. The articulating (bendable) right-angle isn’t weatherproof: Water can seep into the angled part of the antenna. Articulating right-angle antennas are therefore recommendable for indoor use or protected outdoors, i.e. under an eave. If you need a weatherproof dipole antenna, you should choose either a straight dipole or one with a fixed right angle. See our weatherproof antennas.
