Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm current manufacturing status and compliance details. Ensure the RP-SMA connector type matches system requirements. Confirm that the 2-meter cable length and RG-174/U specification are suitable for the intended signal path loss budget. Check for any recent product change notifications or obsolescence notices from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-profile adhesive-mounted solution is required for multi-band ISM and LPWA applications. The integrated 2-meter cable simplifies integration by eliminating separate cabling needs. Verify that the RP-SMA interface aligns with the host device connector. Consider the flat bar form factor for space-constrained installations where panel mounting is not feasible.

Antennas RF Part Context

This antenna belongs to the VDP series of remote adhesive-mount dipole antennas from TE Connectivity Linx. The series offers various configurations tailored for different frequency ranges and connector types. This specific part targets sub-GHz ISM and LPWA bands, providing a compact alternative to traditional whip or puck antennas for IoT and wireless sensor network deployments.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The ANT-8/9-SPS1-1 is listed as a related product but uses SMA male connectors and panel mounting, differing in interface and installation method. Direct substitution requires verifying connector compatibility and mechanical fit. No other direct substitutes are confirmed in the provided documentation.
