margin: 0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eA: Both antennas deliver 2.5 dBi gain with VSWR 1.17 at 2.45GHz and use SMA-J connectors for 2.4GHz applications. The key difference is form factor: the TX2400-JZ-5 (50 × 10mm) has a wider, more rigid cylindrical body suited for industrial environments with mechanical impact risk. The TX2400-JW-3 (29mm, thin-wall) is shorter and lighter (2g) for the most compact installations.

Confirm your device has an SMA-K (standard SMA female) port before ordering. For RP-SMA router ports, use an RP-SMA male antenna or an SMA-to-RP-SMA adapter.\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: What is the operating temperature range and how does it compare to other CDSENET 2.4GHz antennas?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"color: #555; margin: 0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eA: The TX2400-JZ-5 is rated for -30°C to +75°C. This is a narrower range than the TX2400-JK-11 and TX2400-JW-3 (both rated -40°C to +85°C). For applications requiring operation below -30°C or above +75°C — such as outdoor industrial deployments in extreme climates — use the TX2400-JK-11 or TX2400-JW-3 instead. The JZ-5 is suitable for standard indoor industrial and commercial environments within its rated range.\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: Which 2.4GHz protocols does the TX2400-JZ-5 support?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"color: #555; margin: 0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eA: The 2.4–2.5GHz frequency range covers WiFi 802.11b\/g\/n (2.412–2.484GHz), Bluetooth Classic and BLE 5.x (2.402–2.480GHz), ZigBee 3.0 (2.405–2.480GHz), Thread, Matter, and proprietary 2.4GHz FSK\/GFSK protocols. It is compatible with any 2.4GHz device featuring an SMA-K (standard SMA female) antenna port.\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: Does antenna orientation affect performance?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"color: #555; margin: 0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eA: Yes. As a vertically polarized omnidirectional antenna, the TX2400-JZ-5 radiates most effectively in the horizontal plane perpendicular to the antenna rod. Mounting the antenna vertically maximizes horizontal coverage. Avoid pointing the antenna tip directly at the receiving station, as the radiation pattern has a null at the tip (along the antenna axis). The rigid 10mm diameter body maintains a stable vertical orientation without bending under its own weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"cdsenet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45301875998822,"sku":"TX2400-JZ-5","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0702\/9918\/9350\/files\/TX2400-JZ-5-_1_800x800_v2.jpg?v=1773985991","url":"https:\/\/cdsenet.store\/products\/tx2400-jz-5-2-4ghz-wifi-rod-antenna-2-5dbi-sma-j-tpee","provider":"CDSENET, Built for the Wireless World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
