Overview

The TOXU TX-A18 is a 2400–2500MHz rubber duck antenna designed for compatible 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, WLAN, router, gateway, monitoring, and wireless data-transmission equipment.

The antenna features 9dBi specified gain, 50Ω impedance, a specified VSWR of ≤1.5, and a maximum power-handling capacity of 50W.

Its approximately Ø15 × 408mm ABS housing provides an elongated antenna structure for direct installation on compatible wireless equipment.

The adjustable connector-side joint allows the antenna orientation to be adapted to different equipment layouts. The available product specification identifies the standard connector as SMA male.

Actual antenna performance depends on the operating frequency, equipment interface, installation orientation, surrounding metal structures, wireless module, output power, receiver sensitivity, and operating environment.

System Integration

The TX-A18 can be integrated into compatible wireless equipment using the following configuration:

TX-A18 Antenna → SMA Male RF Interface → 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Router, Gateway, Access Point or Wireless Module

Before ordering, confirm that the connected equipment operates within 2400–2500MHz and provides a compatible 50Ω SMA mating interface.

Install the antenna in a suitable vertical orientation and maintain appropriate clearance from large metal surfaces, power supplies, motors, high-current cables, and other potential interference sources.

The adjustable joint can be used to position the antenna according to the equipment layout, but unnecessary repeated bending should be avoided.

Communication range depends on the wireless module, output power, receiver sensitivity, antenna placement, obstacles, interference, and operating environment. A specific transmission distance cannot be guaranteed from antenna gain alone.

Sample testing with the actual wireless module, equipment enclosure, mating connector, and intended operating environment is recommended before volume production.

FAQ

Q: What frequency range does the TX-A18 cover?

A: It covers 2400–2500MHz for compatible 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, WLAN, and ISM wireless equipment.

Q: Does it support 5GHz Wi-Fi?

A: No. The specified frequency range only covers the 2.4GHz band.

Q: Is the TX-A18 a 4G or 5G cellular antenna?

A: No. It is intended for compatible 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and ISM wireless equipment.

Q: What is the specified antenna gain?

A: The available product information specifies 9dBi gain. Final performance should be verified with the actual equipment and installation environment.

Q: What connector does it use?

A: The current specification identifies the connector as SMA male. The mating interface should be confirmed before ordering.

Q: What are the antenna dimensions?

A: The antenna is approximately 15mm in diameter and 408mm long.

Q: Can it guarantee a specific communication distance?

A: No. Communication distance depends on the wireless module, output power, receiver sensitivity, installation position, obstacles, interference, and operating environment.

Q: Is the antenna waterproof?

A: The current information does not provide a confirmed IP rating, so it should not be marketed with a specific waterproof level.
