Panorama Cable Panorama Antennas CS23 5m FME(m)-SMA(m) GPS cable 5 m

Panorama Cable Panorama Antennas CS23 5m FME(m)-SMA(m) GPS cable is a 5-metre coaxial lead designed to connect GPS-enabled devices and CCTV or communication equipment that use FME and SMA interfaces. The cable combines a fixed-length coaxial run with an integrated GPS antenna connection, providing a tidy and reliable signal path for installations requiring a five-metre lead without additional adapters or custom assembly.

Advantages

This 5 m FME(m)-SMA(m) GPS cable offers a factory-terminated, consistent impedance connection that reduces signal loss compared with improvised or poorly matched assemblies. The use of standard FME and SMA male connectors ensures compatibility with a wide range of routers, modems, trackers, cameras and GPS modules. A fixed-length cable simplifies planning and installation, while the coaxial construction and connector types provide mechanical durability for indoor and sheltered outdoor installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting external GPS antennas to trackers and navigation modules
• Linking CCTV equipment and communication devices that use FME and SMA interfaces
• Installations requiring a reliable 5-metre antenna lead without on-site crimping
• Vehicle and fixed-site setups where a professionally terminated cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 metres
• Connector A: FME male
• Connector B: SMA male
• Cable type: coaxial lead with integrated GPS antenna connection
• Designed impedance: standard coaxial impedance for RF/GPS applications
• Intended use: GPS signal transmission and RF antenna connection between devices with FME and SMA interfaces

How to use

Connect the FME(m) end to the device or antenna port designed for FME connectors and attach the SMA(m) end to the corresponding SMA socket on the target device. Ensure connectors are threaded and tightened by hand until snug; avoid excessive torque to prevent damage to connector threads. Route the cable to minimise sharp bends, kinks or tight radii, and secure it with suitable clips or ties to prevent movement and wear. Verify signal reception after installation and make small adjustments to routing if needed to optimise performance.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable in environments protected from direct exposure to heavy rain and extreme UV unless additional weatherproofing is applied to connectors and mounting points. For permanent outdoor installations, apply appropriate sealing to connector interfaces and follow equipment manufacturer guidance on grounding and lightning protection. Periodically inspect connectors for corrosion or mechanical wear and replace the cable if electrical performance degrades.
