Apple iPhone 6 Passive Patch Lead

Key Features

The best results are always achieved using a cradle designed specifically for your iPhone 6
We strongly recommend using the iPhone Cradle, universal cradles can be used but a fitted cradle will produce the best results
For improved mobile phone service, this patch lead should be placed on the back of the phone, vertically on the left hand side (when screen faced up).

To provide you with the best performing passive antenna connection, we ran a series of mini-patch antennas through a number of tests and determined the Taoglas Phoenix antenna as the hands-down winner
As with all passive antennas, the patch must be aligned with the phones internal antenna which requires trialling a number of different positions
On most handsets we find placing the patch horizontally, either up the top or the bottom against the back.

Despite not having an external antenna port, this phone may benefit from an external antenna by using a passive patch lead at reduced performance
This type of patch lead has a pad containing a specially designed coil of wire and uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to enable signal to re-radiate from the pad to the phones internal antenna
Typically, the user will experience anywhere from 5-10dB of signal loss depending on the design of the mobile phone, and the placement of the passive pad
To function effectively the pad must be placed directly on top of the phone's internal antenna
An external antenna is used to increase signal strength and quality - this results in faster mobile internet access, increased usable range from a cell tower, improved voice quality and reduced call drop-outs
For more information please see our Guide to Antenna Cables and Connectors

Passive patch leads use a generic design - they consist of a coil of wire that acts as a small antenna - this same design is used for all phone brands
Passive patch leads will never work as well as a direct connecting patch lead (i.e. one that has a metal-on-metal transfer of signal)
In comparison, a fitted phone cradle has a much larger metal coil that is specifically designed to match the phone's internal antenna, providing far better performance
We offer this product as a cheaper alternative, but have had mixed results with its success. For the best results we highly recommend purchasing a cradle designed specifically for your phone.
