Overview

The ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP is a high-performance 2.4GHz whip antenna designed for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Zigbee applications. It features a right-angle tilt-and-swivel design with a Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA) connector for flexible positioning and reliable RF performance.

Why Choose This Part

The antenna offers a low VSWR of 1.9 across the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz range, ensuring efficient power transfer. Its tilt-and-swivel mechanical design allows for optimal orientation to maximize signal strength, while the RP-SMA termination provides a secure, industry-standard interface.

Applications

Industrial IoT Gateways
Provides reliable 2.4GHz connectivity for industrial monitoring systems using Zigbee or Thread protocols.
Smart Home Hubs
Ideal for residential automation controllers requiring Wi-Fi and Bluetooth mesh networking support.
Wireless Audio Links
Used in professional audio equipment to ensure stable 2.4GHz data transmission with 2.2dBi peak gain.
