Product Description

Product Description

5.8 GHz Whip Antenna (5500-5800 MHz), Model GL5558-165 (GL5800-165)

The GL5558-165 (model GL5800-165) is a compact and efficient 5.8 GHz whip antenna designed for high-frequency wireless applications in the 5500-5800 MHz band, commonly used for Wi-Fi 5/6, wireless video transmission, and point-to-point data links. With a gain range of 4.5-6 dBi and low VSWR (<1.5), this linearly polarized antenna delivers reliable performance for medium-range communication while maintaining excellent signal integrity. The antenna features a 160 mm height profile and comes with a black RG141 cable terminated with an SMA male connector, offering a durable and low-loss connection suitable for integration with routers, access points, and wireless modules. Engineered for robust operation in demanding environments, it operates across a wide temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and withstands vibrations up to 55 Hz, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations in industrial, commercial, and consumer wireless systems.

FAQ

Q: Can this antenna be used for both transmitting and receiving?
A: Yes, the GL5558-165 is designed for bidirectional communication and can be used for both transmitting and receiving signals within the 5500-5800 MHz range.

Q: What type of devices is the SMA male connector compatible with?
A: The SMA male connector is commonly used with Wi-Fi routers, wireless access points, embedded radio modules, and many consumer and industrial wireless devices. Ensure your equipment has a matching SMA female port.

Q: Is the included RG141 cable suitable for outdoor use?
A: RG141 is a semi-rigid coaxial cable with good shielding performance. While it can be used outdoors, it is recommended to protect the cable and connector from direct exposure to moisture and UV radiation for long-term reliability.

Q: Does this antenna require a ground plane?
A: This whip antenna is designed as a standalone radiator and typically does not require an external ground plane for proper operation, making installation simpler and more flexible.

Q: What is the typical range of this antenna in open space?
A: Range depends on transmit power, receiver sensitivity, and environmental conditions. With typical Wi-Fi equipment (20-30 dBm output), expect a usable range of several hundred meters to over a kilometer in clear line-of-sight conditions.
