What this base does

The Alfa ARS-AS01 is a magnetic docking base with an RP-SMA connector and a built-in 1 m coaxial cable. It lets you move a compatible antenna up to three feet away from a wireless adapter for better reception. The base suits any device that has an RP-SMA port, not only Alfa products. It is designed for temporary mounting on metal surfaces such as a vehicle roof or a window sill.

Installing the magbase

The base snaps onto a ferromagnetic surface by its magnetic foot and the integrated cable plugs straight into the adapter's RP-SMA port. No tools or extra adapters are required for the connection. The magnet held the empty base on a car roof at 40-50 mph in light city driving, but the supplier did not test it with an antenna attached and advises removing the antenna before driving.

Capacity and limits

The 2.5 inch diameter base works with Alfa antennas such as the APA-M04 and ARS-N19 and with other RP-SMA antennas you already own. It extends the antenna position by 1 m, which is enough for a window sill or vehicle roof near the adapter. It does not add gain of its own and cannot be used as an antenna by itself; longer cable runs or permanent outdoor mounting are outside its intended use.
