Network antenna Zebra AN480-CL66100WR

The Zebra AN480-CL66100WR network antenna is a single-port, enterprise-grade antenna designed for indoor industrial and logistic environments. Operating in the 865–868 MHz band with a 6 dBi gain and horizontal polarization, it delivers reliable coverage with an N-type connector and a low VSWR of 1.22:1. Its compact housing (259.1 × 258.1 × 50.3 mm) and 1.13 kg weight suit installations on manufacturing floors, warehouse aisles or dock doors.

Advantages

The AN480 provides uniform signal gain thanks to a low axial ratio, improving read and coverage consistency across the installation area. Low VSWR ensures efficient power transfer from the reader to the antenna. Its single-port design and standard N-type connector simplify integration with existing RFID or network hardware while the white, compact enclosure fits typical industrial mounting locations.

Suitable for

• RFID and wireless network coverage in warehouses and distribution centers
• Mounting on dock doors and receiving areas
• Industrial and manufacturing floor installations requiring robust, uniform coverage
• Deployments where a horizontal polarization and N-type connector are required

How to use

Mount the antenna at a location that provides clear line-of-sight to the coverage area, such as on a wall, ceiling or dock door frame. Connect the antenna to the reader or network device using an appropriate coaxial cable and an N-type mating connector. Adjust the antenna orientation for horizontal polarization to match system requirements and verify performance by testing read rates and signal strength across the target area.

Usage recommendations

For best results, position the AN480 to minimize obstructions between the antenna and tags or devices, maintain proper grounding of equipment, and perform site-specific tuning to optimize coverage. Use compatible, low-loss coaxial cable and check connectors for tight, corrosion-free connections.
