The ALFA AC600U is a dual-band, long-range outdoor CPE with a USB interface, combining WiFi 5 connectivity with an integrated directional antenna in a water- and dust-resistant enclosure. It supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards and operates on either the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band using a single-antenna 1T1R configuration. The embedded wireless module is based on the Realtek™ RTL8811AU chipset. Wireless data rates reach up to 150 Mbps with 802.11n and up to 433 Mbps with 802.11ac. A built-in 8 dBi directional panel antenna focuses wireless coverage toward the required area, keeping the antenna integrated with the CPE rather than requiring a separate external antenna.
Connection to the host device is provided through USB 2.0 with a mini USB connector. The AC600U supports Microsoft Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11, Mac OS 10.5 or later, and Linux, covering multiple desktop operating-system environments. The compact enclosure measures 95 × 117 × 31 mm. A detachable cable with a mini USB connector is used for connection, while the bundle includes a 5 m shielded USB cable and a universal pole mounting kit for outdoor placement. An optional suction cup mount is also available when an alternative installation method is required. Together, the USB interface, integrated antenna, mounting options, and outdoor enclosure form a compact wireless CPE for compatible systems requiring directional dual-band WiFi connectivity.
