Coaxial Cable and SMA Connector Handling Requirements
Coaxial antenna cables are more flexible and have a smaller diameter than more familiar
coaxial cable, such as that used for cable television. However, all coaxial cables share this
characteristic: turns or bends in coaxial cables must be gradual loops, no sharper than a 1-inch
radius or 2-inch diameter (2.54 centimeter radius or 5 centimeter diameter).
An SMA connector is a type of connector that uses a threaded mount and connects one optical
fiber. Due to its small size, use care when connecting the coaxial cable to as to not damage the
SMA connector on the Interface Box or the coaxial cable.

Too severe a turn or bend in the cable will break the center (solid) fiber. This can
result in an intermittent signal. It may also result in what appears to be proper
performance at installation that is followed by premature failure and field service.
In addition, a damaged cable will cause a situation where the transmitter printed
circuit board (PCB) is powered without load, and damage the printed circuit board.
