Installing the WaveAC C ESS NET System 2-9
Cable Options
All antennas come with a 20' LMR-400 cable kit, unless
otherwise ordered. The standard kit consists of the
following:
✦
A 2-foot tension release cable that connects on one
side to the non-standard Main connector on the
panel, and on the other side to a standard N-type
male connector. This cable is relatively thin and
functions as a stress relief between the long and
thick antenna cable to the unit.
✦
A 20-foot low-loss cable with male N-type
connectors on either end.
The effect of the standard kit's losses on the system's
range is included in the antenna options tables on pages
2-7 and 2-8.
Note: All RF cables, including the tension release cable,
have to be anchored down in order to minimize the risk of
breaking the WaveACCESS NET CU132's RF connector(s)
and/or having the cables pulling the system. The provided
cable clamps should be anchored to a solid object or wall.
Cable Coverage
In order to cover distances greater than 20 feet between
the antenna and the WaveACCESS NET CU132, you
may order additional segments of 20-foot LMR-400
cable or use another type of cable, as shown on
following page. All segments have the same male-male
N-type connectors. By using a female-female adapter,
they can be easily extended to any multiple of 20 feet.
Each additional cable segment, on either side of the
link, reduces the system's range by 20%.
