Antenna: 8dBi 2.4GHz: Magnet-mount is super-strong. Omni Directional. RP-SMA

8 dBi Omni Directional Antenna for WiFi / wireless networks

Fits most PCI wireless cards (for desktop PCs) - which have an RP-SMA female jack with Magnetic base with 130 cm. cable to RP-SMA (male) connector.

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION

Compatible with Wireless Access Points & cards that have RP-SMA antenna jacks: See list of compatible access points & wireless PCI cards: Most PCI cards (for desktop PCs) have an RP-SMA (female) jack that is compatible with this antenna

• Omni antenna: Radiates signal with a beam of 360 degrees; also receives signal from 360 degrees around it
• As client antenna: Connect to an access point in a certain direction.
• Compliant with 802.11b & 802.11g (North America, Europe, Australia). 2.4GHz frequency band
• Mounts directly onto RP-SMA (female) connector of access point, bridge, client, or booster
• Easy to make weatherproof.
• UL certification / rating  of the flammability of the antenna housing (ABS):
  • Test Method:  UL-94
  • The flame class of this ABS material is HB.

Magnetic Mount antenna base very firmly attaches to metal surface - at a height or position where it can pick up more access points. We recommend our steel window mount with suction cups: $8.99 (sold separately) Just put some clear caulk or other sealer where the antenna meets the base.

The end of the 130 cm pigtail-cable has an RP-SMA (male) connector. Cable is a low-loss, very flexible cable (loss-per-meter is equivalent to LMR100A). Most PCI wireless cards (for desktop PCs) have an RP-SMA female jack.

Provides signal to clients that are all in a certain direction (80-degree horizontal beamwidth)

Data Alliance's high-quality soldered terminations of RP-SMA connectors with soldering provide a low-loss connection with discontinuities kept to a minimum.

COMPATIBILITY AND GENDER DETERMINATION

Compatibility question? View gallery of connectors for antenna cables

GENDER DETERMINATION: Gender of RP-SMA is counter-intuitive in two ways:

• The gender is referring to pins inside not the threads. RP-SMA male possesses internal threads.
• "RP" stands for Reverse Polarization: The pins are female when they appear to be male, and vice versa.
