Description

The Aironet AIR-ANT2506 is a 2.4 GHz omnidirectional dipole antenna with 5.2 dBi nominal gain, built for WLAN applications in the 2.4 GHz band. It suits indoor or outdoor deployments where an access point or bridge needs wider vertical coverage from a mast-mounted antenna.

The antenna offers linear, vertical polarisation with a 36 degree E-plane beamwidth and an omnidirectional H-plane pattern. Nominal impedance is 50 Ohms with a VSWR of less than 2:1 (1.5:1 nominal). A 3 ft (0.91 m) RG-58 cable with an RP-TNC connector attaches the antenna to the radio. The unit stands 11.5 in (29.2 cm) high and 1.125 in (2.8 cm) wide, and is rated for operation from -30 to 70 C.

It mounts on a mast up to 2 in (5.08 cm) in diameter. Radome drain holes let moisture escape, so mount it with the cable pointing down. It is passive and needs no power, and it works with 2.4 GHz Cisco Aironet radios that use an RP-TNC connector.

Enquire with XS Network Tech for new or used pricing and availability.
