ANT-2.4-WRT-UFL-150

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-2.4-WRT-UFL-150 is a linearly polarized, omnidirectional dome-style RF antenna designed for the 2.4 GHz ISM band. It operates within a frequency range of 2.4 GHz to 2.485 GHz (center frequency 2.45 GHz) and provides a gain of 9.1 dBi. The unit features a U.FL connector with a 150 mm cable length and supports protocols including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and IoT applications. It has a VSWR of 1.5 and a maximum operating temperature of +90°C.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Omnidirectional radiation pattern with dome physical form factor

• Integrated 150 mm coaxial cable with U.FL connector
• Suitable for panel or adhesive mounting in industrial environments

Antennas RF Applications

• Wireless vending machines
• Security systems
• Traffic control equipment
• Power monitoring devices

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order includes the 150 mm cable variant, as standard WRT models may differ in length. Confirm compatibility with U.FL mating connectors on the host PCB. Ensure environmental ratings meet the operational temperature requirements of the target installation site. Cross-reference the datasheet for precise mechanical dimensions before enclosure design.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when high gain is required for outdoor or remote installations where line-of-sight is obstructed. The dome shape offers durability against weather elements compared to flat PCB antennas. Choose over shorter cable variants if routing constraints allow for the 150 mm lead. Ideal for ISM band applications requiring robust, all-directional coverage.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the Linx WRT series, which specializes in ruggedized external antennas for harsh environments. The series is engineered for reliability in industrial IoT and wireless infrastructure. The WRT designation indicates a specific dome geometry optimized for omnidirectional performance in the 2.4 GHz spectrum.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The ANT-2.4-WRT-UFL is a related variant but typically features a different cable length. Verify cable length requirements before substitution. Other WRT series models may offer different gain levels or connector types.
