General Description
Proxicast’s ANT-140-020-50 SMA coax cable is the perfect solution for extending 3G/4G/LTE, GPS, ADS-B or other antennas with N Female connectors up to 50 ft from their radio source. It can also be used to connect to inline lightning arresters, amplifiers or other equipment with N-Female connectors.
All of Proxicast’s coax extension cable assemblies are constructed with top quality extremely low-loss cable and gold plated connectors. Each cable assembly is fully tested.
CFD400 coax is the same diameter as RG8 but has far superior performance characteristics, matching or exceeding LMR400 cable.
The cable’s tough polyethylene jacket withstands abrasions and provides excellent moisture resistance. This cable assembly can be used indoors or outdoors.
For cellular (700 – 2700 MHz) applications, Proxicast recommends 195-size coax for assemblies up to 10 ft, 240-size up to 25 ft and 400-size up to 75 ft. It is acceptable to use a thick cable for the long portion of a cable run and a short thin cable to connect to equipment or antennas, just minimize the total cable length and number of connectors.
All outdoor coax connections must be weather-proofed to prevent damage caused by moisture entering the connectors. Use our Pro-Grade Self-Bonding Silicone Tape ( ANT-900-002 ) for fast & easy connection sealing.
NOTE: This cable assembly has a standard SMA connector, not the reverse polarity SMA connector typically found on WiFi equipment. Standard and reverse SMA connectors will not mate; nor will they mate with the “F” connectors found on most consumer video equipment (TV, cable boxes, etc.).
