L-com’s New Rubber Duck Antennas Offer Small Size, Big Reach

Omni Antennas Come in 2.4 GHz, 433 MHz and 916 MHz

IRVINE, Calif. − L-com, an Infinite Electronics brand and a supplier of wired and wireless connectivity products, has just added a new line of rubber duck antennas. These omnidirectional antennas are compact and flexible for easy installation and adjustment, suitable for low-power applications and cost-effective.

They come in three main frequency bands: 2.4 GHz, 433 MHz and 916 MHz. The 2.4 GHz antennas are commonly used to extend the range of Wi-Fi routers, improve the signal strength of Bluetooth devices and enhance the function of cordless telephones. The 433 MHz antennas are a good match for industrial remote controls, tire pressure monitoring systems and keyless entry systems. The 916 MHz antennas extend the reach and reliability of short-range radio applications, such as wireless alarm systems and industrial telemetry.

L-com’s new rubber duck antennas are small and lightweight, making them easy to carry, store and fit into tight spaces without sacrificing performance or aesthetics. Some are less than an inch tall. They are simple to install, typically attaching to devices using screws or basic connectors that do not require special tools or expertise. Their tilt/swivel flexibility allows them to be bent and adjusted for optimal positioning. Their omnidirectional radiation pattern offers consistent signal coverage in all directions, minimizing dead spots.

The new flexible antennas are durable to minimize maintenance costs and downtime associated with antenna replacements. Their operating temperature range is minus-40 degrees to +140 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 C to +65 C).

Applications for L-com’s new rubber duck antennas include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, IoT, both fixed and mobile devices, LPWAN, ISM, LoRaWAN, Sigfox, Weightless-P, Wi-Fi HaLow, Zigbee and more.

“Our new line of rubber ducks helps round out our already extensive selection of compact omnidirectional antennas,” said Product Line Manager Kevin Hietpas. “The newly designed mini antennas with solder posts are perfect for direct-to-board applications.”

L-com’s new rubber duck antennas are in stock now and available for immediate shipment.
