Swivel (Rubber) Antenna, WiFi 2.4GHz, Omni Radiation, 4dBi Gain with RP SMA Male Connector
Standard Swivel "Rubber Duck" 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Solution
The commercial-grade 2.4 GHz flexible rubber duck antenna is engineered to deliver reliable wireless networking across the standard 2.4 GHz ISM frequency spectrum. Providing a focused 4 dBi gain, this antenna utilizes an optimized internal radiating element that flattens the vertical signal beamwidth. This projects RF energy further along the horizontal plane to maximize range, mitigate multi-path interference, and boost throughput. Its true omnidirectional (360°) radiation pattern ensures uniform peripheral coverage, making it an ideal choice for standard consumer and commercial access points, wireless clients, and IoT devices.
Measuring 5-3/4 inches in length, this antenna features a ruggedized, flexible thermoplastic (rubber) radome that protects the internal components from impact and harsh physical environments. It is equipped with an integrated hinged swivel base, allowing the antenna to tilt (90°) and rotate (360°). This mechanical flexibility enables field technicians to position the antenna vertically regardless of the orientation of the host device's chassis, optimizing signal polarization and bypassing nearby physical obstructions. The base terminates in a standard Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA) Male connector—featuring standard external threads but a female socket contact instead of a male pin. This specific connector style complies with standard FCC regulations for consumer and commercial wireless networking equipment, making it directly compatible with most standard Wi-Fi routers, access points, and PCI-e network cards on the market.
