Antenna 5.1 ~ 5.8GHz 5dBi Omni-Directional Dipole w/RP-SMA right-angle articulating

Omni-directional dipole antenna with articulating base: Bendable to right-angle swivel RP-SMA reverse polarity male connector

• If you need a waterproof version, with a straight (not bendable) base-area, see sku A5D5
• Designed for WiFi / wireless Communications in the 5.1 ~ 5.8GHz band.
• See magnetic bases that fit this antenna and have antenna cables with various connector-types

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 5.1~5.8GHz 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.
• 2.4GHz WiFi applications: 802.11N, 802.11G, 802.11B
• Compatible with Bluetooth devices, Wireless Access Points & other wireless devices that have RP-SMA antenna jacks
• AsBluetooth 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 or SMA-female connector.

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

RP-SMA Connector Characteristics and Details:

• RP-SMA = Reverse Polarity SMA. Also known as SMA-RP, SMA-R, SMA RP, SMA R.
• RP-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 is also called "plug" and the respective female connector is also called "jack".
• RP-SMA are round screw-type connectors, with medium-sized, threaded coupling connectors that are rated for frequencies from the lowest (DC) up to 18GHz.
• RP-SMA male connector fits items that have an RP-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 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.
