Overview

The SC0480 is a dual-band whip antenna kit designed by Raspberry Pi for use with their Compute Module 4 (CM4) and other compatible wireless systems. It includes an omnidirectional tilt-and-swivel antenna and a 205mm SMA-to-U.FL cable to facilitate external antenna mounting for RF-shielded enclosures.

Why Choose This Part

This kit provides a certified, plug-and-play solution for the CM4, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards when used as directed. The 2dBi gain and 108mm height balance compact size with reliable signal performance across the 2.4GHz to 5.8GHz range.

Applications

CM4 Wi-Fi Enhancement
Specifically designed to extend the wireless range of Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 projects that require external signal routing.
Industrial Enclosures
Enables Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for SBCs mounted inside metal or dense plastic cabinets where internal PCB antennas would be ineffective.
Dual-Band Networking
Optimized for 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz frequency bands to support high-speed data transmission and interference mitigation.
