The A5020CP is a compact, high-performance circularly polarised RAIN RFID antenna that provides consistent, reliable read coverage and IP68-rated protection, making it suitable for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor deployments.
Key features
- Compact, multi‑purpose design from the A5020 flagship series, with a space-efficient 150 × 150 mm footprint and symmetrical beam pattern for uniform read coverage.
- Typical read range of around 4 metres, enabling robust far-field performance in portals, ceilings, walls, and equipment-mounted applications.
- IP68 environmental rating and corrosion-resistant housing, designed for permanent outdoor installations and harsh indoor environments.
Mechanical and electrical data
- Dimensions: 150.7 × 149.4 × 14.5 mm, ideal for tight installation spaces where a small form factor is essential.
- Frequency ranges: 902–928 MHz (FCC) and 865–868 MHz (ETSI), supporting global RAIN RFID deployments.
- Circular polarisation with 5 dBiC gain and 105° symmetrical beamwidth in both planes, ensuring predictable, even coverage at the read point.
Design and mounting
- Aesthetic, rugged housing with mounting holes that support both VESA 100 × 100 mm brackets and flush mounting to flat surfaces.
- Optional Connector Protection Backplate adds extra ruggedness by shielding the RF connector from impacts, and can be used with right-angled or straight RF cables.
- Supported by a full set of resources including datasheet, mechanical drawings, and STEP file for easy integration into OEM and custom systems.
Typical applications
Any sector looking for a versatile “go-to” far-field antenna that balances size, performance, and durability for long-term deployments.
General-purpose RAIN RFID in retail, offices, and hospitality, where a compact yet robust antenna is required for portals, cabinets, walls, and ceilings.
Industrial and logistics environments needing a small, IP68-rated antenna for equipment mounting, process tracking, or zone coverage.
