5.2 Antennas and Cabling

This section describes the recommended procedure for installing cabling

and antennas for use with the CompactRF module.

5.2.1 Internal Cabling

The most common method for installing the module is to run a cable from

the module’s SMA connector to an N-male bulkhead connector on the

chassis of the equipment as shown in Figure 11

With losses of 10.7 dB/100ft, LMR195 is a high quality cable ideal for use

with the CompactRF’s SMA connector. Losses are negligible for the short

piece used within the chassis. Additional losses up to 0.5 dB may be present

in the SMA and N connections.
