Antenna DeLOCK 88689 Network Antenna

Use this DeLOCK 88689 network antenna to enhance signal reception for 868 MHz ZigBee devices with an SMA connector. The compact black antenna has a 50 Ω impedance and is designed to improve connectivity where a vertical, linear-polarised antenna is suitable.

Advantages

The antenna provides 2 dBi gain at 868 MHz and a return loss of −24.213 dB, helping to stabilise wireless links. With a maximum VSWR of 2.0:1 and a standard SMA plug, it is compatible with a wide range of consumer and industrial ZigBee devices. The TPU antenna tube offers durability while keeping the design lightweight and easy to install.

How to use

Connect the SMA plug of the antenna to the SMA socket of your ZigBee device. Position the antenna vertically for optimal linear polarisation and best performance at 868 MHz. Ensure the connector is finger-tight and not overtightened to avoid damage. Adjust placement to reduce obstructions and interference from nearby metal objects or large electronic devices.

Recommendations

For improved reception, place the antenna away from large metal surfaces and at a higher position when possible. If you replace an existing antenna, compare gain and VSWR specifications to ensure compatibility with your device.
