Swivel (Rubber) Antenna, WiFi 2.4GHz, Omni Radiation, 5dBi Gain with RP SMA Male Connector
Mid-Gain 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. Delivering a mid-tier 5 dBi gain profile, this antenna flattens the vertical signal beamwidth to project RF energy further along the horizontal plane. This design choice optimizes coverage, reduces multi-path interference, and stabilizes wireless throughput, making it an excellent match for standard access points, client terminals, and industrial IoT nodes. Its true omnidirectional (360°) footprint ensures uniform peripheral transmission and reception from all directions.
Measuring 7-3/4 inches in length, this antenna features a ruggedized, flexible thermoplastic (rubber) radome that protects the internal copper radiating element from impact, moisture, 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 and access points on the market.
