Extension Cables

Longer RF cables, typically ranging from 5m up to 25m, are commonly employed to connect a machine or device to an externally mounted antenna.

The primary challenge is that signal attenuation (loss) increases proportionally with cable length.

To ensure a reliable link is established, two key measures are necessary:

Selecting a high-gain antenna is crucial to compensate for the signal loss.

Utilizing low-loss cables is recommended for longer links, as they preserve more of the signal strength.

Ultimately, maintaining a stronger signal is essential for achieving a highly reliable communication link.
