ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP is a single-band whip antenna designed for the 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz frequency range, with a center frequency of 2.4 GHz. It features a tilt/swivel mechanical form and an RP-SMA male connector for panel mount installation. The antenna provides a gain of 2.2 dBi, operates within a bandwidth of 100 MHz, and maintains an impedance of 50 Ohms. Key electrical parameters include a VSWR of 1.9 and a maximum power rating of 1 W. It supports protocols such as Bluetooth, BLE, WiFi, Thread, and Zigbee, functioning reliably between -40°C and +85°C.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Tilt/swivel whip design allows for flexible orientation adjustment
• RP-SMA male connector enables direct cable attachment
• Supports multiple wireless protocols including Bluetooth, WiFi, and Zigbee

Antennas RF Applications

• Bluetooth and BLE device connectivity
• WiFi network interfaces
• Zigbee and Thread mesh networking
• IoT sensor nodes

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the RP-SMA male connector matches the mating interface on the host equipment or cable assembly. Confirm that the required mounting style aligns with the available panel space. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the deployment site. Check compliance requirements against local regulatory standards for the intended application band.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a directional whip antenna with adjustable orientation is required for compact devices. The RP-SMA connector is suitable for applications where standard SMA tools are unavailable or prohibited. Consider the physical dimensions and tilt mechanism if space constraints exist. This component is appropriate for indoor environments due to its specific temperature and power ratings.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to the RCT series of antennas from TE Connectivity Linx Technologies. The series focuses on versatile, multi-protocol solutions for short-range wireless communications. The RCT designation indicates a specific mechanical configuration optimized for easy integration into various enclosures while maintaining consistent RF performance across supported bands.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-SS serves as a substitute variant featuring an SMA male connector instead of RP-SMA. Verify connector compatibility before substitution, as the pin configurations differ. Other models in the ANT-2.4 family may offer different gains or connector types but require separate validation.
