The 2J7426MPz by 2J Antennas is an outstanding high - performance magnetic mount antenna crafted for seamless communication with the Iridium® Satellite Communication system. It's made from a top - notch blend of polycarbonate (PC) and acrylic - styrene - acrylate terpolymer (ASA), a thermoplastic mix that offers excellent resistance to UV rays, moisture, and heat while boosting mechanical strength. The antenna housing is waterproof to IP69, perfect for extremely tough environments where it might face water, dust, and debris often. With an operational and storage temperature range from - 40°C to + 85°C, it's highly reliable. The magnetic mount allows for easy installation and removal on vehicles or assets. You can also convert it to an adhesive type for more flexibility. It comes with a standard SMA - Male Connector and a 3 - meter high - quality coaxial LL100 cable. The 2J7426MPz Antenna is Iridium® certified for commercial use with the Iridium Communications System. Key features include an IRIDIUM® standard, a frequency range of 1616 - 1627 MHz, a VSWR of about 1.1:1, an efficiency of around 82.3%, a peak gain of approximately 5.1dBi, an impedance of 50 Ohm, a hemispherical radiation pattern, RHCP polarization, an SMA - Male connector, a 3 - meter cable, magnetic or adhesive mounting, dimensions of Ø 54 x 14.7, an operating temperature from - 40 °C to + 85 °C, and certifications like IP67, IP69, and Iridium Certified. A datasheet is also available.
Using the 2J7426MPz antenna is a breeze. First, decide whether you want to use the magnetic or adhesive mount. If you choose the magnetic option, simply place the antenna on a flat metal surface of your vehicle or asset. For the adhesive mount, clean the surface well before sticking it on. Once it's installed, connect the SMA - Male Connector to your device using the 3 - meter coaxial cable. You're all set to communicate with the Iridium® Satellite Communication system. When it comes to storage, make sure to keep it in a place where the temperature is between - 40°C and + 85°C. Avoid exposing it to sharp objects that could damage the housing. To maintain it, clean the antenna housing with a soft, dry cloth occasionally. If it gets dirty, you can use a mild soap and water solution, but make sure to dry it thoroughly. And always check the cable and connector for any signs of wear or damage.
