The D-Link ANT24-CB06N is an external antenna connection cable for wireless networks in the 2.4 GHz frequency range. It is used to connect antennas with an N-type plug to devices that have an N-type socket connection. The cable enables flexible installation, allowing the antenna to be mounted up to 6 metres away from the device, for example in rooms with limited space or to optimise signal radiation. The cable is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and is weather-resistant.
Antenna connection cable with a length of 6 metres provides a practical solution for installing wireless antennas where a direct connection is not possible. The cable is equipped with an
N-type plug at one end and an
N-type socket at the other end, ensuring a compatible connection to devices and antennas with corresponding connectors. The
N-Series connector is commonly used in wireless networks and provides a stable mechanical and electrical connection.
Applications include extending antenna connections for WLAN access points, routers or other wireless devices, compatible with models ANT24-0800, ANT24-1400 or ANT24-1801. Outdoor use is possible, as the cable is weather-resistant and thus protected against moisture and temperature fluctuations. The 6-metre cable length offers sufficient flexibility for installations in larger rooms or when mounting on walls, roofs or other structures distant from the device.
Functions and features in detail include an attenuation of -3 dBi caused by the cable. This attenuation must be considered when planning signal strength, as it affects the overall performance of the wireless network. The cable is finished in
black, making it visually discreet and suitable for integration into technical environments. The
external cable types are designed for use outside device housings, enabling a direct connection between device and antenna.
Technology explained simply shows that the cable is specifically designed for the 2.4 GHz frequency range, commonly used in many WLAN systems. The attenuation of -3 dBi means the signal at the end of the cable is 3 dBi weaker than at the start, which must be considered when planning network coverage. The N-type connection is robust and suitable for professional environments, as it ensures a secure and tight connection.
Compatibility and accessories include use with D-Link antenna models ANT24-0800, ANT24-14w00 and ANT24-1801. These antennas are also designed for the 2.4 GHz range and can be connected to devices with an N-type socket using the ANT24-CB06N cable. The combination allows flexible antenna positioning to optimise signal quality.
Installation and mounting is done by simply connecting the N-type plug on the cable to the socket on the antenna and the other N-type plug to the device. The 6-metre cable length allows flexible placement, while the -3 dBi attenuation must be considered when planning network performance. The cable is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, with its weather-resistant design enabling long-term use under various environmental conditions.
Operational advantages include installation flexibility, as the antenna can be positioned independently of the device. Outdoor use is possible, and the robust N-type connection ensures a stable link. The -3 dBi attenuation must be considered in planning to avoid impairing network performance. The cable is black, making it visually discreet and suitable for integration into technical environments.
