FTRA6971M6PBN-001

Antennas RF Overview

The FTRA6971M6PBN-001 is a multi-band dome antenna designed for wideband cellular applications, including 5G. It operates across seven frequency bands ranging from 698 MHz to 7.125 GHz. The unit features an N-type female connector and panel mount installation. It achieves a peak gain of 8.1 dBi without requiring a ground plane. The antenna provides IP67 ingress protection and functions within a temperature range up to +85°C.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Operates as a no-ground-plane (NGP) antenna suitable for mounting on any material surface
• Provides omnidirectional radiation pattern for wideband cellular coverage
• Features IP67 rated housing for outdoor environmental durability

Antennas RF Applications

• 5G wireless infrastructure
• IoT connectivity solutions
• Freight and transportation tracking systems
• Public safety communication networks

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency band configuration against project requirements, as variants exist within the Phantom NGP series. Confirm that the N-type female termination matches the existing cabling infrastructure. Ensure the mounting location accommodates the physical dimensions and does not obstruct the omnidirectional signal path. Check RoHS3 compliance status if required by local regulations.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when ground plane availability is restricted or unpredictable. It is appropriate for installations on non-metallic surfaces where traditional antennas would suffer performance degradation. Consider the IP67 rating for harsh outdoor environments. Evaluate the need for high efficiency across multiple 5G bands versus single-band specialized solutions.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the TE Connectivity Phantom No Ground Plane (NGP) Antenna Series. These antennas are engineered to deliver consistent performance regardless of the mounting substrate. The series targets modern cellular deployments requiring flexible installation options without sacrificing signal integrity or gain specifications.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The FTRA6171M6PBN-001 is a related variant in the same series with different frequency coverage. Verify that the replacement part supports the exact frequency bands required for the application before substitution.
