ANT-2.4-CW-RCS

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-2.4-CW-RCS is a right-angle whip antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity Linx, designed for indoor applications operating within the 2.35 GHz to 2.5 GHz frequency range. It features an RP-SMA male connector and supports protocols including Bluetooth, BLE, WiFi, Zigbee, Thread, and ANT. The antenna provides -0.2 dBi gain with a 50 Ohm impedance and linear polarization. Key electrical parameters include a VSWR of 1.9 and a bandwidth of 120 MHz. It operates between -40°C and +85°C, has a length of 113 mm, and utilizes panel mount installation.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Right-angle whip design for flexible orientation
• Supports multiple wireless protocols including WiFi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee
• RP-SMA male connector interface
• Panel mount installation style

Antennas RF Applications

• Bluetooth and BLE devices
• WiFi routers and access points
• Zigbee sensor networks
• Thread mesh networking equipment

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type and mechanical dimensions against the official datasheet before integration. Confirm that the RP-SMA male interface matches the host device port. Ensure the operating temperature range meets environmental requirements. Check RoHS compliance status for regulatory adherence. Validate frequency coverage aligns with target protocol specifications.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Choose this model for compact indoor wireless deployments requiring right-angle flexibility. Suitable for space-constrained enclosures where standard whip antennas do not fit. Ideal for multi-protocol IoT gateways supporting simultaneous WiFi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee operations. Consider the low gain specification for short-range local communication needs.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the ANT-2.4 series of RF antennas from TE Connectivity Linx. It is part of a family of dipole and whip antennas optimized for 2.4 GHz ISM band applications. The series includes variants with different connectors and mounting styles to accommodate diverse hardware designs.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP offers similar performance with a tilt/swivel mechanism and RP-SMA connector. ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-SS provides comparable specs but uses an SMA male connector instead of RP-SMA.
