&lt;p&gt;No, we do not have such a connector on our dongle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="pw1uU"&gt;Thank you for the answer.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Regarding the second question, the intention was whether you have a USB dongle that includes an SMA connector to which I can connect an external antenna&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: nRF52840 Dongle</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/412454?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Feb 2023 10:08:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:28dd0277-e2cd-45e0-a799-83b38800b62f</guid><dc:creator>Jared</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is not possible to determine the maximum distance as it will rely on several external factors. The antenna on the dongle is a meander antenna which has less gain , and lower bandwidth than the 1/4 antenna that is on the development kit. You can therefore expect a bit worse performance compared to the DK.&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""] Do you have a similar product to which you can connect an external antenna to increase the reception range?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;Yes, we have a Front-End Module that does exactly this, the&lt;a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Range-extenders"&gt; nRF21540 FEM&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;regards&lt;/p&gt;
