Antenna Part Numbers Explained

Each Extreme Networks antenna is identified by an alphanumerical code called a part number or P/N. Each P/N is broken into 3 fields separated by a dash (-), with each number or letter identifying an important feature of the antenna.

Table 1. Key to Antenna Part Numbers
FieldPositionMeaning
Field 1Position 1 -3 The environment in which the antenna can be used:
  • AI = indoor
  • AO = outdoor
  • AIO = indoor and outdoor
Note: Some AIO - indoor and outdoor - antennas have a RP-SMA connector, which has to be weatherized before you use them outdoors. Check the connector type before you deploy outdoors.
Field 2Position 4The bandwidth:
  • 2 = 2.4GHz
  • 5 = 5.0GHz

  • 6 = 6.0GHz

  • D = Dual band, 2.4GHz or 5.0GHz

  • T = Tri-band, 2.4GHz, 5.0GHz and 6GHz

  • H = High band, 5 GHz and 6 GHz

Position 5The feed:
  • D = 2 feed
  • T = 3 feed

  • Q = 4 feed

  • P = 5 feed

  • H or X = 6 feed

  • E = 8 feed

Position 6-7Gain in dBi:
  • 04 = 4 dBi

  • 05 = 5 dBi

  • 06 = 6 dBi

Note: In some P/Ns, you may see 75, which denotes a dBi of 7.5.
Position 8-103dBi beam width in degrees.
  • 020 = 20 degree

  • 055 = 55 degree

  • 060 = 60 degree

Field 3Position 11The connector type:
  • N = N type connector

  • If empty = RP-SMA.
