FCC-approved antennas (2.4 GHz)
The XBee and XBee-PRO RF Modules can be installed using antennas and cables constructed with non-standard connectors (RPSMA, RPTNC, etc.) An
adapter cable may be necessary to attach the XBee connector to the antenna connector.
The modules are FCC approved for fixed base station and mobile applications for the channels indicated in the tables below. If the antenna is mounted at
least 25 cm (10 in) from nearby persons, the application is considered a mobile application. Antennas not listed in the table must be tested to comply
with FCC Section 15.203 (Unique Antenna Connectors) and Section 15.247 (Emissions).
The antennas in the tables below have been approved for use with this module. Cable loss is required when using gain antennas as shown in the tables.
Digi does not carry all of these antenna variants. Contact Digi Sales for available antennas.
All antenna part numbers followed by an asterisk (*) are not available from Digi. Consult with an antenna manufacturer for an equivalent option.
