Feeder Loss Type Manufacturer Model Number Loss/100' Notes
1/2" foam coax Andrew LDF 4-50 6.6 dB add ~0.25 dB per connector

Formula for determining maximum output power setting for 5.2 GHz U-NII (LE-LAN) Transmitters (@ EIRP=30dBm):
Max Tx (dBm) = 30 - G + FL
where: G = Antenna Gain
FL = Feeder Loss including connectors
Formula for determining maximum output power setting for 5.7 GHz U-NII (LE-LAN) Transmitters:
Max Tx (dBm) = 23 + (Commission Certified Output Power) - G + FL
where: G = Antenna Gain
FL = Feeder Loss including connectors
Note: All Western Multiplex radios require professional installation.
Note: Western Multiplex U-NII devices have a built-in calibrated Tx Power Output Voltage port to aid in setting
the output power correctly, without the use of an RF power meter. The measurement in Volts is multiplied
by 10 for a measurement in dBm. e.g. 1.0 V = 10 dBm; 2.0 V = 20 dBm, 1.5 V = 15 dBm; 0.5 V = 5 dBm; etc.
