Operating across 2.4-2.5 GHz, the AW-CBC2400-3 cabinet / enclosure antenna provides 3 dBi gain and vertical polarization. The design targets wi-fi coverage deployments that demand reliable coverage and stable impedance matching.
Radiation Pattern and Gain
As an omnidirectional radiator, it provides a full 360 degree azimuth pattern with an approximate 55 degree elevation beamwidth, distributing energy evenly around the mast. The rated gain of 3 dBi is referenced to an isotropic radiator.
Mechanical and Electrical Specifications
Mechanically, the AW-CBC2400-3 measures 62 x 22 x 22 mm and is housed in a ASA cylinder / brass stud. The standard interface is a SMA-Male connector, with a nominal impedance of 50 ohms and a typical VSWR of 2.0:1 or better. The element withstands up to 10 W of input power.
Installation Guidance
The recommended installation is cabinet / enclosure. The enclosure carries an IP65 environmental rating for outdoor exposure. For best results, mount the antenna with clear line of sight to the served area and bond all outdoor hardware to a proper grounding system.
Typical Applications
Wi-Fi Coverage
IoT / M2M
Smart Metering / AMI

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cabinet / enclosure antenna used for?
Short, mechanically rugged antennas designed to bolt directly to metal cabinets, meter boxes and equipment racks where the enclosure acts as part of the ground plane.
Is AW-CBC2400-3 suitable for wi-fi coverage?
Yes. AW-CBC2400-3 is well matched to wi-fi coverage deployments, where its radiation pattern and gain provide reliable coverage and link margin.
Can the connector on AW-CBC2400-3 be changed?
Yes. The default RF interface can be supplied as SMA, N-type, TNC, or other connectors on request, and custom cable assemblies are available. Specify your interface in the inquiry form.
What is the standard impedance and VSWR of AW-CBC2400-3?
The nominal impedance is 50 ohms with a typical VSWR of 1.5:1 or better across the operating band. A 75 ohm option can be quoted for broadcast applications.
