If you're working on a LoRa project and need maximum distance, this super - durable outdoor antenna with 6dBi gain is a must - have. Measuring 40cm (15.75 inches) long, it comes with hardware for pole mounting. Crafted from fiberglass and aluminum, it's perfect for heavy - duty and high - power LoRa base stations, but can also be used with LoRa nodes. The antenna has a type N male termination. When mounted vertically, the shrouded connector helps protect against water and weather damage on the threads. Note: This antenna doesn't come with a cable. We suggest using the N to RP - SMA interface cable to connect it to an RP - SMA connector. For those needing to go further to U.FL, check out our RP - SMA to U.FL cable.
Using this antenna is easy. First, find a good outdoor spot and use the included hardware to mount it on a pole vertically. This helps the shrouded connector prevent water and weather build - up on the threads. Since the antenna doesn't come with a cable, you'll need to get an N to RP - SMA interface cable to connect it to an RP - SMA connector. If you need to connect to a U.FL, use our RP - SMA to U.FL cable. When it comes to maintenance, check the antenna regularly for any signs of damage, especially after bad weather. Keep it clean and dry to ensure it lasts a long time. Avoid using it in extremely harsh conditions for extended periods to maintain its performance.
