Dual-Band Dipole Antenna, RP-SMA Plug, 2.4 / 5 GHz, 5 dBi – DA-DB-05-A60

Product Description

Dual-Band Dipole Antenna, RP-SMA Plug, 2.4 / 5 GHz, 5 dBi – DA-DB-05-A60

Part Number: DA-DB-05-A60

The DA-DB-05-A60 is a compact, dual-band “rubber ducky” antenna for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi / ISM use. It uses an SMA reverse polarity plug (RP-SMA, female pin) and is designed for 50 Ω wireless equipment such as access points, routers, bridges and embedded radio modules. The OEM datasheet for this family specifies operation across 2400–2500 MHz and 5150–5850 MHz with approximately 5 dBi gain. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

The antenna is a sleeve-dipole type with a broadly omnidirectional radiation pattern (360° in azimuth), so there is no precise aiming required. A hinged base allows you to adjust the antenna angle for best layout and polarization. The moulded housing is weather-resistant and suitable for indoor use or sheltered outdoor installations when mounted correctly. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Good use-cases

• 2.4 / 5 GHz Wi-Fi access points, routers and client radios with RP-SMA antenna ports
• Dual-band WLAN, Bluetooth® and ISM devices in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands
• Indoor and sheltered outdoor hotspots, repeaters and wireless bridges
• Lab / test setups needing a simple dual-band stick antenna

Compatibility notes (simple check)
This antenna is suitable if:

• Your device has a 50 Ω RP-SMA jack (SMA body with a male centre pin on the device), and
• It operates in the 2.4 GHz and/or 5 GHz Wi-Fi / ISM bands.

It will not mate correctly with standard SMA (non-reverse-polarity) connectors. For equipment using standard SMA, N-type, TNC or TS-9 connectors, use an appropriate adapter or pigtail.
