RF Cables

Nailing the success of your wireless project means using the right cables. Though often overlooked, RF cables can throw a wrench into system performance. Pick the wrong one or skimp on planning, and you could be looking at signal loss, potential regulatory breaches, or interference with other networks.

When it comes to coaxial cables in wireless systems, think of them in three main types: Feeder Cables, Jumper Cables, and Patch Cables. Feeder Cables are your go-to for larger setups; these are the sturdy backbone of the system, handling signal transfers over long distances with minimal loss. They're the link between major components like antennas, radios, and couplers. Jumper Cables are your more nimble allies, they’re thinner, flexible, and great for connecting kit within a system, like linking an amplifier to a combiner or hooking up a power divider to an antenna. Their bendy nature makes them perfect for tight spaces and tricky corners. Then there are Patch Cables, ideal for connecting closely situated devices or offering a bit of flexibility and strain relief for gadgets like modems and repeaters. Think short and thin, making them spot-on for snug spots.
