Antenna Zebra AN720 N-type 6 dBi

The Zebra AN720 is a high-performance RFID antenna designed to provide reliable connectivity in both indoor and outdoor environments. With a maximum gain of 6 dBi and operation within the 865-868 MHz frequency range, this antenna ensures consistent data capture for various RFID applications. Its circular polarization allows for versatile tag reading, while the robust construction ensures durability against environmental factors such as rain, snow, and temperature fluctuations.

Advantages

This antenna stands out due to its compact and rugged design, which allows for discreet installation in space-constrained areas without compromising performance. The device is built to withstand harsh conditions, including impact and vibration, making it suitable for demanding industrial or commercial settings. Its N-type female connector and standard 50 Ohm impedance ensure seamless integration with compatible RFID readers, providing a stable and efficient communication link for your network infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Receiving dock doors
• Outdoor shopping areas
• Space-constrained indoor environments
• Industrial inventory management

This antenna may not be suitable for applications requiring long-range communication beyond the specified frequency band or for environments where high-gain directional antennas are necessary for specific point-to-point data transmission. It is specifically optimized for the 865-868 MHz range and may not perform as expected in regions using different RFID frequency standards.

To use the Zebra AN720, mount the antenna in a location that provides optimal coverage for your RFID tag reading zone. Connect the antenna to your compatible RFID reader using a high-quality coaxial cable with an N-type male connector. Ensure that the mounting surface is stable and that the antenna is oriented to face the area where tags will be scanned. Once installed, configure your RFID reader settings to match the antenna's frequency and gain specifications for optimal performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your RFID reader supports the 865-868 MHz frequency range.
• Ensure the mounting location allows for the physical dimensions of the unit.
• Check that your existing cabling is compatible with the N-type female connector.
• Confirm the environmental conditions of your installation site match the ruggedized rating of the device.

Usage recommendations

For best results, ensure the antenna is kept free of metallic obstructions that could interfere with the circular polarization pattern. Regularly inspect the mounting hardware and cable connections in outdoor environments to maintain signal integrity and weather resistance.
