Coaxial cable Panorama Antennas CS23 5 m FME(m)-SMA(m) for GNSS labeling and antenna connections

Panorama Antennas CS23 coaxial cable, 5 m, terminated with FME male to SMA male connectors, is designed for GNSS labelling and antenna connections. The cable provides a fixed-length RF link between GNSS antennas, receivers or adapter interfaces, offering consistent performance for installations that require a reliable low-loss connection over a moderate distance.

Advantages

The CS23 cable combines well-matched RF impedance and quality connector terminations to minimise signal loss and reflections across GNSS frequency bands. Its five-metre length allows flexibility in positioning antennas while keeping cable runs manageable, and the FME-to-SMA termination supports common professional GNSS antenna and receiver interfaces. The cable construction and connector fit help ensure mechanical stability and a consistent electrical connection in field and indoor installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting GNSS antennas to receivers or external antenna inputs
• Fixed installations where a reliable 5 m RF link is needed
• Laboratory setups and testing benches for GNSS equipment
• Temporary field deployments requiring moderate-length antenna cabling

Key specifications

• Cable type: coaxial RF cable suitable for GNSS frequency ranges
• Length: 5 metres
• Connector A: FME male
• Connector B: SMA male
• Impedance: 50 ohm characteristic impedance
• Low-loss construction designed for minimal attenuation over 5 m
• Flexible jacket suitable for indoor and light outdoor routing

How to use

Connect the FME male end to the matching FME female port on the antenna or adapter, and attach the SMA male end to the SMA female input on the receiver or antenna input adapter. Ensure connectors are hand-tightened to provide a secure electrical and mechanical connection; avoid overtightening with tools unless specified by the equipment manufacturer. Route the cable to minimise sharp bends and avoid running it parallel to high-power electrical cables to reduce potential interference.

Usage recommendations

For best RF performance, keep the cable as short as practical for your installation and use appropriate strain relief at connector junctions. Inspect connector fittings before use and replace the cable if connectors show signs of corrosion or mechanical damage. If the installation is exposed to harsh outdoor conditions, use additional protective conduits or weatherproofing at connection points.
