Mobile Phone Antenna, Panel Mount, FME Jack, 824–960 / 1800 / 1900 MHz, RG58 3.5 m – TC21-FME80-58-3500

Product Description

Mobile Phone Panel-Mount Antenna, FME Jack, 824–960 / 1800–1900 MHz, 3.5 m RG58 – TC21-FME80-58-3500

Part Number: TC21-FME80-58-3500

The TC21-FME80-58-3500 is a compact mobile-phone panel antenna supplied with a fixed 3.5 m length of RG58 coaxial cable terminated in an FME jack (conventional female). It is designed for the main mobile bands around 824–960 MHz and 1800–1900 MHz, so it works with typical 2G/3G/4G services in these ranges. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

This is a directional panel aerial: instead of radiating in all directions like a little “rubber duck”, it focuses the signal in one main direction. That makes it well suited to boosting weak signal in tricky spots – for example, mounting it in a loft or on a wall and aiming it roughly towards the nearest base station. RFShop’s own description highlights this: fit it outdoors or in a loft, aimed towards the mast, for a stronger, more reliable signal. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

• Mobile phone panel-mount antenna for 50 Ω systems
• Frequency bands: 824–960 MHz and 1800–1900 MHz (typical 2G/3G/4G bands)
• Built-in 3.5 m RG58 coaxial cable
• Termination: FME jack (conventional female) – common on in-vehicle kits and extension leads
• Directional flat panel – focuses coverage towards one area or building
• Intended for panel / through-hole mounting on a surface (e.g. enclosure, vehicle body, fascia panel)
• SALE item: stocked as a cost-effective alternative to current “latest model” panel antennas :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Good use-cases (plain English)

• Improving mobile signal coming into a building by mounting the panel in a loft and pointing it at the mast
• Vehicle or cabinet installs where you want the antenna outside but the equipment or booster lives inside
• Feeding in-car or in-building mobile phone kits that use FME connectors
• Simple “get it working” directional aerial for 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz projects and test setups

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

• Your system is 50 Ω and uses mobile bands in the ranges 824–960 and/or 1800–1900 MHz, and
• You can accept or adapt to an FME jack (female) on the cable end.

For most modern routers, modems or boosters with SMA, N, TNC or TS9 connectors, you can use a short FME plug to SMA/N/etc. adapter or pigtail to interface this antenna. If you plan to use two of these with a MIMO router, mount them with some spacing between panels and angle them slightly apart, as suggested in RFShop’s panel-antenna range notes. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
