Antenna DELOCK 10038 5.8 GHz RP-SMA 3 dBi Omnidirectional

DELOCK 10038 is a 5.8 GHz omnidirectional antenna with an RP-SMA connector and 3 dBi gain. Designed for wireless devices that use a reverse-polarity SMA interface, it delivers uniform signal coverage around the horizontal plane and is suitable for improving range and link stability for point-to-multipoint setups. The antenna is intended for use with routers, access points and IoT devices in small to medium indoor or protected outdoor environments where a compact, low-gain omnidirectional solution is required.

Advantages

The antenna’s omnidirectional radiation pattern provides consistent horizontal coverage, reducing dead zones around the installation point. Its RP-SMA connector ensures compatibility with devices that require reverse-polarity SMA interfaces, while the 3 dBi gain balances range improvement with stable, broad coverage. The compact design simplifies mounting and integration into existing network equipment without significant visual or mechanical impact.

Suitable for

• Extending wireless coverage for routers and access points in homes and small offices
• Point-to-multipoint links for short to medium distances
• IoT gateways and devices that require a reverse-polarity SMA antenna
• Indoor or sheltered outdoor installations where unobstructed horizontal coverage is needed

Key specifications

• Frequency: 5.8 GHz
• Gain: 3 dBi
• Radiation pattern: Omnidirectional (horizontal plane)
• Connector type: RP-SMA (reverse-polarity SMA)
• Application: Wireless routers, access points, IoT devices, point-to-multipoint links
• Typical installation: External screw-on connector; compact form factor

How to use

Connect the antenna directly to the RP-SMA female or RP-SMA-equipped adapter on your device, taking care to align the connector and hand-tighten without over-torquing. Position the antenna vertically for optimal omnidirectional horizontal coverage. For best results, place the device in a central elevated location with minimal obstructions and verify signal strength and link stability after installation. If necessary, adjust device orientation or location to reduce interference from large metal objects or dense building materials.

Recommendations

Use the antenna indoors or in protected outdoor locations; avoid prolonged exposure to severe weather unless the installation point and antenna are sheltered. Check device compatibility with RP-SMA connectors before attachment. When replacing or adding multiple antennas, ensure consistent antenna types and orientation across the network to maintain predictable coverage patterns and optimal performance.
