Antenna Cables& Connectors

Antenna cables and connectors must be used when extending the standard or high gain antenna for outdoor antenna
applications. Appropriate cable and connector must be chosen. It is important to know that RF signal is lost across the cables
and connectors and hence for better performance, the cable length and connectors must be kept to a minimum. Also it is
important to select a cable that matches the radio’s impedance. An impedance mismatch will cause the radio link to become
inefficient and could damage the radio. Selecting the incorrect cable could also cause significant signal loss. A rule of thumb is
for every 3 dB of loss, your system will lose one half the output power emitted from the radio.
