Cabling/Connections

[bob.forster]

What extra loss is added if you interconnect a CAB020LL-R and a CAB050LL-R? Since these cables come with Male/Female TNC connectors. Can you not connect them tohgether to get a 70' foot cable?

Bob,

You can see the specs of those cables here

You will see that CAB020LL-R has a transmison loss of 1.3Db and CAB050LL-R has 3.4Db loss

So if you had these together you get 4.7Db loss this does not take into account loss through adpater connectors

The AIR-CAB100ULL-R is 100Ft and has a loss of 4.4db which would be a much better option even though it gives you 30ft more than you wanted.
