ShowMeCables introduced a line of omnidirectional rubber-duck antennas suitable for low-power applications. The compact and flexible antennas are cost-effective, supporting applications that include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LPWAN, ISM, LoRaWAN, Sigfox, Weightless-P, Wi-Fi HaLow, Zigbee, and more.
The antennas are offered in three main frequency bands: 2.4 GHz, 433 MHz, and 916 MHz. The 2.4-GHz antennas can 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 suitable for industrial remote controls, tire-pressure monitoring systems, and some keyless-entry systems, offering compact size, high performance, and affordability. The 916-MHz antennas serve short-range radio applications such as wireless alarm systems and industrial telemetry.
Small and lightweight, the antennas are easy to carry, store, and fit into tight spaces. They typically attach to devices using screws or basic connectors that don't require special tools or expertise.
Offering improved signal coverage, the antennas' tilt/swivel flexibility lets them bend and adjust for optimal positioning, with an omnidirectional radiation pattern for consistent signal coverage to minimize dead spots. They support applications where specific directionality isn't crucial. The flexible antennas have an operating temperature rangefrom −40 to +140°F (−40 to +65°C).
