Dell 3060/5060/7060 Micro RP-SMA dual-band WiFi antenna parts Y9MPH and 3TJ9N

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/09/22

Two kinds of RP-SMA dual-band WiFi antenna parts having :

  • Y9MPH is an omnidirectional dipole stick antenna which most use
  • 3TJ9N is a semidirectional patch/panel antenna on a wire which few people use but can be useful when you want to put the antenna into a place having better signal reception

Both are also supposed to work for Dell OptiPlex Micro models 3020/3040/3050/5020/5040/5050/7020/7040/7050 (as 5030/7030 models were never released and 3030/9030 only released as a different all-in-one PC form factor): basically the end of the Micro form factors in Dell OptiPlex Series 4 and start of Dell OptiPlex Series 5.

    Occasionally, the opposite convention is used to designate the gender of an RP connector: In this situation the female connector has a socket (or sleeve) contact and threads on the outside. Users should take care to check drawings and specifications carefully.

    Es gibt kein zusammen gesetztes Kit. Das heißt, du brauchst die interne Verkabelung (K1V5Y), die externe Antenne (Y9MPH) und die entsprechende Karte (beispielsweise Intel 9560 > T0HRM).

    translated:

    There is no assembled kit. That means you need the internal cabling (K1V5Y), the external antenna (Y9MPH) and the corresponding card (e.g. Intel 9560 > T0HRM).

    Dell Optiplex 3060 uses these types of external antenna:

    not sure whether the latter antenna boost has better reception than the former stick style whip antenna.

    I presume then, that the external antenna (DP/N 0Y9MPH, no specs available absolutely anywhere) bundled in with my factory refurb  is a dual-band flex antenna.

    …

    New optiplex 7000 Micro should have come with an external antenna like this one.  It looks like a standard SMA antenna that you can buy somewhere if somehow you do not have it shipped to you from Dell.  Check your product spec to see if an antenna is or is not included.

Often, better pictures are on Ebay, so here are a few listings (that probably are expired by now, so the image footing is served from the Wayback Machine):
