XK-M501E Airborne Mesh Radio Module
XK-M501E is a 0.5 W × 2 airborne MIMO mesh radio module for companies integrating wireless network and data links into a platform. Its listed 59.8 × 58 × 12.8 mm body and 64 g device weight provide a compact starting point for the installation layout. Xingkai supplies the module and specifies the connection accessories for the project.
- 59.8 × 58 × 12.8 mm dimensions give a concrete envelope to compare with the available equipment space.
- A 64 g device-weight entry helps separate the radio allowance from antennas, cables and mounting hardware.
- The listed 9–39 V DC input provides a defined supply range for platform planning.
- 0.5 W × 2 RF output and network/data connections identify the module to configure for the proposed radio nodes.
XK-M501E Mesh Radio Module Overview
XK-M501E offers an airborne radio node where the module footprint and device weight matter to equipment integration. The 0.5 W × 2 configuration is listed at 59.8 × 58 × 12.8 mm and 64 g, so a buyer can compare the radio body with the platform drawing before adding the antenna, harness and mounting arrangement.
The same configuration lists a 9–39 V DC supply range. Its operating-current entry is 0.3–0.5 A at 12 V, with 0.2–0.3 A standby current at 12 V. These electrical entries are separate from RF output; attached equipment needs its own power allowance.
Xingkai offers the module with the radio and accessory configuration identified in the quotation. Specify the operating band, connected equipment and required quantities so the proposed module, connections and accessories can be quoted together. The selected band and supplied hardware version determine the final installation information.

Connections and Integration
Plan the M501E’s 0.5 W × 2 module installation around its 9–39 V supply and the catalogue’s small-platform reference of fewer than eight nodes. Identify the endpoint and relay roles before selecting the module arrangement.
The black layout separates two RF ports from power, network and data interfaces. Xingkai checks the proposed terminals and mounting layout, then specifies the module and connection accessories for the quotation. The port names alone do not define a complete camera or control-system installation.
Configure and Order Your Radio
Define the M501E module version and the small-network layout together. The quoted configuration identifies the selected band, terminal connections and installation accessories for the 0.5 W × 2 module.
Send endpoint and relay roles and their node counts against the catalogue’s fewer-than-eight-node platform reference. Include the actual supply within the listed 9–39 V range, power/network/data terminals and module quantities.
Xingkai checks the M501E module version, selected band and terminal arrangement, then quotes the modules, RF connections and power/network/data harness scope. The configuration identifies any mounting accessories and the electrical requirements for the proposed supply arrangement.
Agree on the supplied configuration, quantities and delivery terms before proceeding.
Xingkai supplies and ships according to the confirmed order.
FAQs
No. The operating and standby current figures are stated at 12 V; they are not a current specification at 24 V. The listed 9–39 V input range does not provide a separate current figure for every supply voltage. Give the actual supply voltage, module quantities and connected equipment when requesting the configuration quotation. Have the electrical requirements for that supply arrangement specified rather than assuming that the 12 V amperage applies across the full input range.
No. It is the catalogue’s air-to-ground single-hop entry for the 0.5 W × 2 configuration, not a specification for every complete mesh installation. Describe the proposed paths, node positions and antenna arrangement with the required communication task. Xingkai can quote the proposed radio configuration against those inputs; a project-specific range requirement needs to be identified separately rather than inferred by adding relay hops.
Request the connector identities and connection drawing for the module being supplied, covering both the radio and terminal ends. The black M501E catalogue diagram names RF, power, network and data functions without establishing the mating-connector standards or a universal pinout. Give the required cable routing and terminal specifications, then have the connector parts and signal assignments identified before buying mating connectors or making the loom.
The module’s network-data function does not establish an included HDMI input or encoder. The catalogue lists HDMI, SDI and CVBS video extension as optional. State the camera output and the video task so any encoder or interface equipment can be identified separately in the configuration quotation. Do not treat the radio module alone as a complete camera-to-display package.
The series band list is not evidence that a single module covers every frequency. Request the intended operating band as part of the supplied radio configuration, together with the antenna and connection arrangement. For an existing network, include the other radios’ exact models and configuration details. A shared mesh name or matching nominal frequency alone does not establish interoperability.
