About Rubber Duck Antenna

Rubber duct antennas are a type of antenna encased in a flexible, durable rubber housing. This design makes them resilient to physical stress, weather conditions, and rough handling, making them ideal for outdoor and industrial applications. Commonly used in mobile communications, Wi-Fi, and other wireless systems, rubber duct antennas provide reliable performance while being resistant to moisture, dust, and mechanical impacts. Their rugged construction ensures long-lasting functionality in challenging environments.

Efficient and Versatile Connectivity

Designed for the 2.4 GHz frequency, this antenna ensures consistently strong signal performance. Its 3 dBi gain is ideal for boosting both the transmission and reception quality in wireless devices like routers, radios, and telemetry systems. The SMA male connector allows simple, direct installation, further increasing the antennas utility across multiple sectors.

Durable and Flexible Construction

The combination of a rubber/plastic outer shell and a metal core provides a perfect balance between durability and flexibility. At only 20 grams and 110 mm in length, it is easy to handle, mount, and transport. Its resilient material choice ensures the antenna can withstand routine handling and moderate environmental fluctuations.
