Overview
The 14204 is a 0 dBd gain 1/2 wave antenna with a pin (male) RPSMA (reverse polarity SMA) connector and articulating base. It is designed for use with radios operating at 900 to 930 MHz. It is typically used with one of our 900 MHz radio products with an RPSMA antenna jack, such as the RF401A. This small, low-cost antenna is typically used in applications where space is constrained and antenna gain is not required to maintain a strong RF link.
Note: The yellow stripes on the antenna indicate that this antenna operates with a center frequency of 916 MHz.

Detailed Description
The 14204 is a 0 dBd gain 1/2 wave center-fed dipole antenna with a pin (male) RPSMA (reverse polarity SMA) connector. It has an omnidirectional radiation pattern and a center frequency of 916 MHz. The articulating base allows the antenna to tilt 90 degrees and rotate 360 degrees. The antenna’s internal counterpoise eliminates external ground plane dependence. The internal O-ring seal on the connector improves the antenna's ruggedness when used in harsh conditions.
Note: The yellow stripes on the antenna indicate that this antenna operates with a center frequency of 916 MHz.

Additional Compatibility Information
The 14204 covers the frequency bands used by some of our spread-spectrum radios operating in the 900 MHz range. Because it has an RPSMA plug connector, the 14204 can only be directly connected to a radio product or cable with an RPSMA jack. Adapters such as pn 28477 and pn 18686 can be used to adapt this antenna to an RF connection other than RPSMA.
