Legacy XTend Modem approved antennas

9XTend-PKG-R RS-232/485 RF Modem User Guide

91

XTend vB Modem approved antennas (30 dBm Maximum RF power)

The following tables cover the antennas that are approved for use with the XBee-PRO XTC RF modules. If applicable, 

the tables show the required cable loss between the device and the antenna.

Digi does not carry all of these antenna variants. Contact Digi Sales for available antennas.
