Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as variations exist between fixed cable and detachable connector versions. Confirm that the required cable length matches the available options, typically 1 meter, 1.5 meters, or 2 meters. Ensure the application environment meets the IP65 ingress protection requirements for outdoor exposure. Check compatibility with the FAKRA D connector interface on the receiving equipment before finalizing procurement.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model for installations requiring a compact, low-profile form factor that does not obstruct surrounding structures. Choose the AC97002-100B variant specifically when a 1-meter cable length is sufficient for the system layout. Consider the detachable cable feature if field serviceability or simplified cabinet mounting through a single hole is required. This antenna is suitable for both indoor and outdoor deployments due to its weather-resistant construction.
