Straight (Rubber) Antenna, WiFi 2.4GHz, Omni Radiation, 5dBi Gain with RP SMA Male Connector 

Compact Fixed "Rubber Duck" 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Solution

The commercial-grade 2.4 GHz straight rubber duck antenna is engineered to provide reliable, steady 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 inches in length, this antenna features a ruggedized, straight thermoplastic (rubber) radome that protects the internal copper radiating element from impact, moisture, and harsh physical environments. Unlike swivel models, this fixed straight configuration eliminates mechanical joints, maximizing long-term structural durability in high-vibration applications such as manufacturing floors or automated machinery. 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 network interface cards on the market.
