Faceplate-Mounted and Ceiling-Mounted Antennas and Cabling
Depending on the wireless environment, wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted antennas may be preferred
for optimum radio coverage. If the length of the coaxial antenna cable is insufficient to cover the distance
between the 3G wireless HWIC and the location of the installed antenna, you can use ultra-low-loss TNC
extension cables between the 3G wireless HWIC and the antenna cable.
RF energy is carried between the antennas and the radio equipment through a coaxial cable. An antenna
cable introduces signal loss in the antenna system for both the transmitter and the receiver. Although the
cable run can be 100 feet (30 m) or more from the 3G wireless HWIC to antenna locations, the longer
the cable run, the greater the signal loss. To reduce signal loss, minimize the cable length and use only
ultra-low-loss antenna cables to connect radio devices to antennas.
To connect faceplate-mounted or ceiling-mounted antennas, follow the installation instructions for your
antenna:
