3m MCX R/A Male Connector Active GPS Navigation Antenna

GPS/Glonass Antenna 

Differentiation comparison

Product Introduction

1.Military-grade protection

IP67 dust and water resistance (excluding cable outlet) + -40~85℃ wide temperature range + 55Hz/1.5mm vibration certification, no fear of off-road splashing, polar cold or engineering machinery impact.

2. Ultra-low power design

5-15mA current consumption (comparable products>20mA), battery-powered devices have a 2-fold increase in battery life, especially suitable for portable surveying instruments, IoT trackers and other mobile devices.

3. Dual-frequency high-sensitivity reception

Synchronously receive GPS 1575.42MHz and GLONASS 1601-1610MHz signals, with 28dB LNA amplifier and <1.5dB noise coefficient, the success rate of positioning in the tunnel is increased by 55%.

4. Second-level installation solution

Strong magnetic base (bearing 1.2kg) + 3M adhesive dual installation mode, roof/metal chassis quickly deployed in 3 seconds, eliminating the traditional punching process.

5. Anti-interference link optimization

3m RG174 shielded cable + 50Ω impedance matching, measured to suppress the interference of car spark plugs within 30 meters, ensuring the stability of key applications such as taxi meters and fire truck navigation.

FAQ

Q: What satellite constellations does the GL-DY006-1 support?

A: It supports GPS L1 (1575.42MHz) and GLONASS G1 (1601–1610MHz). It is not designed for BeiDou or Galileo, but works alongside them as a secondary receiver.

Q: What is the difference between IP65 and IP67?

A: IP65 protects against low‑pressure water jets; IP67 protects against immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. The GL-DY006-1 meets IP65–IP67 (excluding cable outlet). For full submersion, seal the cable exit point.

Q: Can I extend the 3m cable?

A: Yes, but use low‑loss extension coax (e.g., RG174 or LMR100) with MCX connectors. Longer cables may reduce signal due to attenuation – keep total under 5m for best performance.

Q: Does the antenna require external power?

A: Yes, it is an active antenna. The 3–5V DC power is supplied through the same coaxial cable (bias‑tee). Most GPS receivers provide this voltage on the antenna port.

Q: How do I mount the antenna?

A: Two options: (1) Magnetic base – simply place on any ferrous metal surface (holds firmly). (2) Adhesive backing – stick to non‑metal surfaces like plastic or fiberglass. Both methods require no drilling.

Q: What is the current consumption?

A: Only 5–15mA at 3–5V DC. This is very low compared to typical GPS antennas (>20mA), making it ideal for battery‑powered applications.
