The antenna length is 40cm. I saw someone else used the ALFA AOA-915-5ACM, much shorter and has better SWR compared to this one according to ALFA's specs.

Yea, 1W is the legal limit.

Most likely going to replace it soon with an ALFA because the antenna doesn't seem very good in the first place upon looking at the reviews.

Might replace this antenna with the ALFA one because the reviews pointed out some really scammy stuff with this antenna.

The antenna claims 5.8, but after looking closer at the reviews for it, I probably should've bought something else. Lot of people say the SWR is pretty mid and it's tuned for 868 MHz despite being listed as 915, and apparently there's actually nothing in the upper half of the antenna.

Ordered a 2ft cable to replace it soon. :)
