Three cable types are available, viz. LMR100, LMR195, and LMR400. LMR400 cable offers lower loss but is thicker and more
difficult to work with. LMR100 is thin and easy to work with, but has a larger loss. It is recommended that you use the shortest
possible cable run in your application.
Cable Type 900 MHz Loss Per 100 ft 2.4 GHz Loss Per 100 ft Diameter
LMR-100 22.8 dB 38.9 dB 0.110 in
LMR-195 11.5 dB 19.0 dB 0.195 in
LMR-400 3.9 dB 6.8 dB 0.405 in

Along with the cable, a proper connector must be chosen. The I/O module uses an RPSMA Male (plug) connector. The
optional high gain antenna has an N type Female connector. Therefore, an antenna cable that has a RPSMA Female jack at
the module end and a N type Male connector at the antenna end the must be chosen.
If the supplied antenna needs to be extended, a cable with an RPSMA Female jack at the module end and an RPSMA Male
(plug) at the antenna end must be selected since the supplied antenna has an RPSMA female (jack).
