Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as variants such as AC97002-100B indicate different ingress protection ratings compared to standard versions. Confirm cable length requirements prior to purchase, as the base model specifies a fixed 1-meter cable. Ensure compatibility with Fakra D connectors on the target device interface before finalizing procurement.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a slim form factor that does not compromise signal integrity. It is appropriate for environments where rapid installation via adhesive is preferred over mechanical fastening. Consider the IP61 rating for general indoor or protected outdoor use, ensuring it meets the environmental exposure requirements of the deployment site.

Antennas RF Part Context

This model belongs to the AC97002 series of multi-band cellular antennas from The Antenna Company. The series includes variations with different cable lengths and protection ratings, such as the AC97002-150 and AC97002-200. The AC97002-100 specifically denotes the version equipped with a 1-meter cable length.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same product line include AC97002-150 and AC97002-200, which offer identical electrical performance but differ in cable length specifications. These alternatives maintain the same connector type and mounting characteristics while adjusting the physical reach of the integrated cable.
