DELOCK WiFi 6 antenna I-PEX (MHF® I plug) omnidirectional 4.5–5.0 dBi with 10 cm FPC cable for internal adhesive mounting

DELOCK WiFi 6 antenna I-PEX (MHF® I plug) omnidirectional 4.5–5.0 dBi with 10 cm FPC cable for internal adhesive mounting is an internal antenna designed for integration into routers, access points, mini‑PCs and IoT gateways. It supports dual‑band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operation with omnidirectional radiation, providing a compact, low‑profile option for improving wireless reception inside devices where external antennas are not practical.

Advantages

The antenna offers stable omnidirectional coverage with a gain between 4.5 and 5.0 dBi, enabling enhanced signal strength across typical indoor environments. Its I‑PEX (MHF® I) plug and 10 cm FPC cable provide a reliable, low‑loss connection to WiFi 6 modules and wireless cards. The slim form factor and adhesive backing facilitate straightforward internal mounting without altering the device exterior.

Suitable for

• Internal mounting in consumer and industrial routers
• Access points and wireless repeaters requiring low‑profile antennas
• Mini‑PCs and compact systems with internal WiFi modules
• IoT gateways and embedded wireless devices
• Upgrading or replacing built‑in antennas to improve indoor reception

Key specifications

• Frequency bands: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (dual‑band)
• Radiation pattern: omnidirectional
• Gain: 4.5–5.0 dBi
• Connector type: I‑PEX MHF® I plug on FPC cable
• Cable length: 10 cm flexible printed circuit (FPC) cable
• Mounting: internal adhesive mounting (pressure‑sensitive adhesive backing)
• Compatibility: suitable for devices with I‑PEX MHF® I sockets and WiFi 6 modules

How to use

Prepare the device by locating the internal WiFi module connector and ensuring the mating I‑PEX socket is accessible. Peel the protective film from the adhesive backing, align the antenna in the desired internal location for optimal signal propagation and press firmly to secure. Route the 10 cm FPC cable to the WiFi module and carefully insert the I‑PEX plug into the module socket until it clicks into place. Reassemble the device housing and test wireless performance to verify placement.

Recommendations

Position the antenna away from large metal components and power supplies to reduce detuning and signal obstruction. If possible, test several internal positions before final adhesion to identify the best orientation for 2.4/5 GHz coverage. Ensure the I‑PEX connection is handled gently to avoid damage to the plug or socket during installation.
