DNC-2201 Short Waterproof WiFi Antenna 8dBi – Dual-Band 2.4GHz / 5GHz with RP-SMA Right Angle Connector
The DNC-2201 is a compact waterproof dual-band WiFi antenna designed for professional underwater camera housings, splash bags, marine electronics, wireless video transmitters, waterproof enclosures, and outdoor WiFi applications. It delivers strong wireless performance with 8dBi gain on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands while keeping the antenna body short, reinforced, and easy to install in tight spaces.
Compared with the taller DNC-2200 antenna, the DNC-2201 uses a shorter antenna body, approximately 13 cm / 5.1 in, and a reinforced internal support structure for improved mechanical durability. It is ideal when you need compact size, professional waterproof construction, and reliable above-water wireless communication.
Why Choose DNC-2201?
- Short waterproof WiFi antenna body, approximately 13 cm / 5.1 in
- 8dBi dual-band performance for 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless systems
- Reinforced internal support structure for improved durability
- RP-SMA right angle connector for easier cable routing
- RG316 low-loss coaxial cable for flexible installation
- M16x1 waterproof bulkhead mount with built-in water block
- 80-meter / 262-foot depth rating
How It Works
The DNC-2201 allows a wireless device inside a waterproof housing or enclosure to connect to an external waterproof WiFi antenna. The antenna should be positioned above the water surface whenever possible because WiFi signals do not effectively travel through water. This makes the DNC-2201 ideal for camera housings, splash bags, marine systems, and outdoor wireless applications where electronics must stay protected.

FAQ
What is the main difference between DNC-2201 and DNC-2200?
The DNC-2201 is shorter, approximately 13 cm / 5.1 in, and uses a reinforced internal support structure. It keeps the same key wireless specifications as the taller DNC-2200 antenna.
Can this antenna be used underwater?
The antenna is waterproof and depth rated, but WiFi signals do not effectively travel through water. For best wireless performance, the antenna should be above the water surface whenever possible.
Can I bend the antenna?
No. Do not bend, twist, pull sideways, or use the antenna body as a handle.
