2-24 Quick Installation Guide
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 and 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 2-22 and 2-23.
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 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 remote units,
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%.
