The TX2400-FPC-3014 must be mounted on the inner surface of a non-metallic (ABS, PC, or TPEE) enclosure with a minimum 3mm clearance from metal components. At 2.4GHz, even partial metal coverage can significantly degrade antenna performance. For metal enclosures, use an external 2.4GHz antenna with a bulkhead SMA connector routed through a feedthrough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 15px; background: #fafafa; border-radius: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eQ: How do I mount the TX2400-FPC-3014 inside my device?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"color: #555; margin: 0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eA: Peel the 3M adhesive backing and press the FPC flat against the inner wall of a non-metallic enclosure, oriented parallel to the enclosure wall. Route the 118mm coaxial feeder to your 2.4GHz module's IPEX-I socket and press-fit the connector until it clicks. Keep the antenna at least 3mm from the PCB ground plane, battery, and metal shielding cans. Avoid routing the feeder cable parallel to other RF traces.

The standard cable length is 118mm, but custom lengths are available per order for high-volume production runs. Contact CDSENET with your required cable length when placing a bulk order. Note that longer cables introduce additional insertion loss at 2.4GHz — each additional 100mm of standard coaxial cable adds approximately 0.3–0.5 dB of loss, which should be accounted for in the system link budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 15px; background: #fafafa; border-radius: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eQ: What is the operating temperature range and is it suitable for outdoor IoT deployments?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"color: #555; margin: 0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eA: The TX2400-FPC-3014 is rated for -40°C to +85°C. The FPC substrate is RoHS-compliant and resistant to humidity under standard operating conditions. For outdoor deployments, ensure the host enclosure provides IP65 or higher sealing. The antenna itself is not independently IP-rated and must be protected by the device enclosure from direct rain, UV exposure, and condensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"cdsenet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45301875703910,"sku":"TX2400-FPC-3014","price":0.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0702\/9918\/9350\/files\/TX2400-FPC-3014-_1_800x800_v2.jpg?v=1773986454","url":"https:\/\/cdsenet.store\/products\/tx2400-fpc-3014-2-4ghz-wifi-bluetooth-fpc-antenna-2-5dbi","provider":"CDSENET, Built for the Wireless World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
