Swivel (Rubber) Antenna, WiFi 2.4+5.XGHz, Omni Radiation, 2/2dBi Gain with RP SMA Male Connector
Compact Swivel "Rubber Duck" Dual-Band Wi-Fi Solution
The commercial-grade dual-band flexible rubber duck antenna is engineered to deliver reliable, multi-band wireless connectivity across both legacy 2.4 GHz and modern 5.X GHz frequency spectrums. Providing a balanced 2/2 dBi gain across primary Wi-Fi bands, this antenna features a true omnidirectional (360°) radiation pattern. This design ensures uniform peripheral coverage and signal reception from all horizontal directions, making it an excellent choice for stabilizing wireless throughput on compact dual-band Wi-Fi routers, access points, and localized IoT gateway nodes.
Measuring 5-1/4 inches in length, this antenna features a ruggedized, flexible thermoplastic (rubber) radome that protects the internal radiating element from impact, vibration, 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.
