WiFi Antenna Dual-Band 2.4GHz ~ 5.8GHz w/ UFL Connector

Directional Multi Band 2.4 - 5GHz WiFi Antenna w/ UFL Connector.

• Directional antenna concentrates the radiation in one direction, to maximize signal strength.Screw mount
• The limited beamwidth reduces "signal noise" / interference from other WiFi networks and third-party wireless devices, resulting in much greater performance of the device connected to this antenna (especially as compared to omni-directional antennas, which pickup 360-degrees of signal noise.

Compatibility with wireless standards & applications

• IoT wireless & M2M: Bluetooth, ZigBee, and ISM. Since it is vertically polarized, it is compatible with many machine to machine communication applications, remote monitoring, and telemetry applications.
• 2.4GHz WiFi applications: 802.11N, 802.11G, 802.11B
• Linear polarized, it is suitable for many of today’s machine to machine and communication applications such as telemetry, remote monitoring and mesh networking applications.
• Directional, direct connect antenna tuned to perform on 2.4GHz networks.

Suitable and compliant for all the above applications because of this antenna's range of frequency band compatibility in the 2.4 ~ 5.8GHz frequency band range, its low broadband VSWR, and impedance matching to 50 Ohm gear.

SPECIFICATIONS:

ROHS 3 & REACH compliant: Antenna, cable and connector are all compliant with ROHS 3 and REACH.

U.FL Connectors Characteristics and Details:

• The U.FL female has a socket. U.FL female right-angle type is the most common U.FL connector type found on U.FL cables: 95% of U.FL cables have a U.FL female right-angle connector.
• U.FL male has a pin and is the connector: Male U.FL is the gender that is the "jack" that is embedded directly on to a circuit board on devices such as BlueTooth boards, and ZigBee radios such as XBee, Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) and internal mini-PCI wireless cards (even though the gender is male, it is the jack U.FL connector. Hence the male connectors / jacks are very rigid.
• The small size of U.FL connectors has made them an excellent fit in Machine-To-Machine (M2M) and IOT (Internet of Things) wireless applications, since they take up very little space in the cramped cases of small devices, such as Bluetooth beacons.
• Gender Determination: Micro-connectors such as U.FL have gender that is counter to typical RF terminology for gender, in that "jack" is more typically synonymous with "female:" A U.FL jack on a board (PCB) is the male U.FL, and the connector that mates with the jack is the female. 
• Connecting and disconnecting U.FL connectors from the jack can be difficult to do properly without damaging the U.FL connector or jack. We offer a U.FL insertion tool to enable you to connect/insert and remove/disconnect easily, without causing any damage to the cable, connector or jack.
• U.FL connector is also known as Ultra Miniature Coax Connectors (UMCC), and enables attaching an external antenna to a U.FL jack/connector on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs): U.FL female mates with a female HiRose/U.FL jack, also known as U.FL-LP-66 jack/connector.

U.FL Connectors' Material composition

• Male has a silver-plated phosphor bronze made shell, and a gold-plated brass made contact.
• Female: The shell and contact of Female U.FL connectors are made of phosphor bronze but are silver, and gold-plated respectively. Female U.FL connectors are the ones used in the termination of antenna cable.
• U.FL connectors are precision machined. The gold-plating enables low signal loss.
