Extreme Networks ML-2452-APA2-02

Indoor Dual-Band Elbow Dipole Network Antenna – 4.9 dBi, RP-SMA Male (White)

The Extreme NetworksML-2452-APA2-02 is a compact, indoor dual-band dipole Network Antenna, optimized for seamless  mounting directly onto compatible wireless access points using an RP-SMA male connector. Offering gains of up to 4.9 dBi, this Network Antennaenhances signal coverage across both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi bands. Its elbow-jointed design and white housing make it an elegant and space-saving choice for enterprise deployments where aesthetics and RF performance go hand-in-hand.

Features

Crafted for enterprise-grade Wi-Fi deployments, the ML-2452-APA2-02 supports dual-band frequencies of 2.4–2.5 GHz and 5.1–5.8 GHz, making it versatile for both 802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/ac applications . At 2.4 GHz, it delivers a typical gain of 2.73 dBi, while at 5.7–5.8 GHz, it reaches up to 4.95 dBi . The Network Antenna360° azimuth beam pattern ensures omnidirectional horizontal coverage, while elevation beamwidths range from roughly 45° to 28°, ideal for ceiling or wall-mounted installations 

Advanced Options

Crafted from durable ABS plastic and weighing a mere 0.03 lb (0.01 kg), the ML-2452-APA2-02 is lightweight and discreet. It features a 50 Ω impedance, ≤1.92 VSWR across both operational bands, and supports up to 1 W of power, making it compatible with standard enterprise AP hardware . The model is functionally identical to ML-2452-APA2-01, differing only in its color—white versus black minimizing unwanted signal spread. With low VSWR and 50 Ω impedance matching, it minimizes signal loss and ensures efficient power transfer. Its rugged ABS body and compact form factor make it both durable and unobtrusive when mounted on access points. Rated for up to 1 W, it safely handles typical AP output levels, making it a dependable choice for long-term deployment in enterprise environments.
