Antenna
The Digi Connect Wi-SP is available with 1 RP-SMA connector. The antenna is connected to the
product with a reverse polarity SMA connector (sub-miniature size A). The antenna only fits on the
product one way to ensure a proper connection. Another option for both signal reception and design
flexibility is to use a 30cm antenna extension cord (Digi part number DC-ANT-E-24DP) with .5dB
loss to separate the antenna from the product..
