Omni-Directional Waterproof Dipole Antenna
Omni-directional dipole antenna with a straight, non-bendable base with RP-SMA male connector
- IP65 waterproof rating.
- Designed for WiFi wireless communications in the 5.1 ~ 5.8GHz band.
- If you need this antenna but with a bendable / articulating base-area, see sku A5D5RA
- See magnetic bases that fit this antenna and have antenna cables with various connector-types
Omni directional dipole antenna: Radiates signal with a beam of 360 degrees; also receives signal from 360 degrees around it.
Compatibility with wireless standards & applications: This omni directional antenna's range of frequency band compatibility in the 5100~5800MHz frequency band range, its very low broadband VSWR at < 2.0 (lower VSWR is better), and impedance matching to 50 Ohm gear, makes it suitable and compliant for all the following applications:
- IoT wireless & M2M: Bluetooth, ZigBee, Wi-Fi HaLow and ISM. Since it is vertically polarized, it is compatible with many machine to machine communication applications, remote monitoring, and telemetry applications.
- 5GHz Frequency Band: Suitable for 802.11ac WiFi and any other wireless application that uses the 5100 - 5800 GHz frequency band.
- Compatible with Bluetooth devices, Wireless Access Points & other wireless devices that have RP-SMA antenna jacks
- As Bluetooth antenna: Send or receive signal to devices in all directions (360-degree horizontal beamwidth)
- As client antenna: Connect to access points in any direction. Portable size: Easily fits in a laptop case.
Features & applications
- As access point antenna: Provides signal to clients in any direction (360-degree horizontal beamwidth)
- As client antenna: Connect to an access point in any direction
- Capable of extending your wireless range up to 300 meters.
- Suitable for outdoor or indoor wireless gear with RP-SMA-female.

TEST RESULTS for FREQUENCY RANGES:
The antenna demonstrates solid and stable performance across the 5.0 to 6.0 GHz band, with proper impedance matching suitable for high-frequency applications. Measurements show a VSWR of 1.34 at 5.80 GHz with a return loss of −16.7 dB, and a VSWR of 1.65 at 5.81 GHz with a return loss of −12.3 dB, confirming efficient power transfer and low reflection losses. The Smith Chart response remains controlled and close to the center, indicating consistent and reliable behavior throughout the band, making the antenna well suited for modern wireless systems operating in the 5 GHz range.
| Frequency range | Assessment | Rating | Technical performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4.00–5.00 GHz | Very Good | ★★★★ | Stable performance in the lower portion of the band with controlled impedance behavior. Measured at 4000.00 MHz: VSWR = 1.52, Return Loss = −13.7 dB Measured at 5001.00 MHz: VSWR = 1.29, Return Loss = −18.0 dB |
| 5.00–6.00 GHz | Excellent | ★★★★★ | Efficient and consistent operation across the upper band, suitable for high-frequency wireless systems. Measured at 5795.99 MHz: VSWR = 1.27, Return Loss = −18.5 dB Measured at 5806.02 MHz: VSWR = 1.65, Return Loss = −12.3 dB |
Antenna, cable and connector are all compliant with ROHS 3 and REACH.
