5D-FB for the antenna line of the enterprise: the calculation of the length, the passport of a specific cable, connectors and the difference between the bay and the finished assembly.

Cable meters or ready connection

Called 5D-FB, you can order a cable to make the line, but the finished assembly requires additional data. In the application, distinguish between a segment of the desired length and a finished cable with two agreed connectors. This affects the quotation composition, timing and verification. The facility needs an antenna model, a hardware port and a track plan. The exact number of meters is determined taking into account the turns, the allowable reserve and the location of the fasteners. The geometric distance between two points does not usually describe the entire route.

How to account for losses without fictional numbers

Attenuation depends on the frequency, length, and design of a particular cable. For the calculation, the manufacturer's passport of the proposed 5D-FB is requested. If the loss is set at 100 meters, the value for your length is obtained proportionally, after which the connections are taken into account. An example of a method: with a passport value of A dB per 100 m, the 20 m section gives about 0.2 × A dB of losses of the cable itself. This is a formula for recalculation, not a promise of a certain attenuation of our position. A table of another cable family does not replace a 5D-FB passport.

The connectors are selected from both sides.

For each side, write down the connection type, central contact configuration, and port designation. Additionally, check whether the selected connector is designed for the design and diameter of the cable. No two externally similar connectors can be considered interchangeable. If there are already several adapters in the system, attach a scheme: it is convenient to coordinate the new assembly with the minimum number of connections required. For the outside, specify the conditions of placement and the method of protection of joints. The bend radius and method of attachment are taken from the documentation of a particular product.

What to check when receiving

For the cable, the marking, length and condition of the shell are checked; for assembly, both connectors, the quality of the ending and the agreed inspection results are also checked. One resistance measurement does not describe the radio frequency loss of a line. When replacing, keep the designation of the previous cable and the operating frequency so that the comparison is subject. If the goal is to improve communication from an external antenna to a router or other equipment, evaluate the entire path. The prepared quotation will help to separate the cost of the material from the connectors, manufacture and check the assembly, as well as compare options without hidden components.

Price and delivery to your city

To buy 5D-FB, send the quantity, hardware description and receipt address. In the request, you can specify Krasnoyarsk, Tomsk, Irkutsk, Kostanay and Semey or another city of Russia and Kazakhstan. The cost, current availability, condition, set and term are confirmed in the quotation for your address.

Questions before buying

Are 5D-FB cables of the same diameter the same?

Nope. Verify the design, resistance, passport losses and suitable connectors of a particular product.

Can I take attenuation from the LMR table?

You cannot assign data from another cable to an unknown 5D-FB configuration. A passport of the proposed manufacturer is required.

Are the connectors priced per meter?

This is a separate agreement point. Specify if you need material or finished assembly with a finish.
