CT UNITE ZK-7921 WiFi 6 Communication Module

Product Information

The ZK-7921 is a WiFi 6 communication module designed by Diao Pengjun. It can be used with laptops, computers, TVs, and set-top boxes. The module operates with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and the user’s body. The model is Wi-Fi 6, 2T2R and has absolute maximum ratings that define levels at which permanent damage to the device can occur. The module should not be used or stored in a corrosive atmosphere, especially where chloride gas, sulfide gas, acid, alkali, salt, or moisture are present. Assembling the modules should be done within 6 months, and the soldering ability should be checked in case of 6 months over.

Product Usage Instructions

To use the ZK-7921, follow these instructions:

1. Install the module on your laptop device, computer, TV, or set-top box.
2. Ensure that there is a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and your body while using the device.
3. Do not use or store the module in a corrosive atmosphere, especially where chloride gas, sulfide gas, acid, alkali, salt, or moisture are present.
4. Store the module where the temperature and relative humidity do not exceed 5 to 40 and 20 to 60%.
5. Assemble the modules within 6 months and check the soldering ability in case of 6 months over.
