(15m) Antenna extension coaxial cable RP-SMA Male to N-Male 400 grade low loss","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eThis special low-loss RP-SMA male to N-Male extension cable from ALFA Networks is RFC-400 equivalent shielded. The cable is 15m long (~50 feet) and can be used to put an extension between an RP-SMA antenna connector on a Meshtastic device with RP-SMA. a Wi-Fi USB adapter or PCI card and an antenna with an N-female connector. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe recommend this extension cable compared to some others online because this is ALFA Networks branded and is also a special low-loss cable (RFC-400 NL Low Loss 50 OHM). What does this mean? Let's say for example you will be connecting this to a 12 dBi gain antenna. As the cable in between the antenna and adapter gets longer, you will experience cable loss, which is a drop in the signal gain of the antenna. With low-quality unshielded extension cables, the huge drop in gain will mean a much lesser range. Our special low loss cable limits the cable loss factor and preserves the high gain of your antenna.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eWe do recommend\u003c\/span\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.rokland.com\/products\/tape-helium-antenna-and-coaxial-cable-self-fusing-silicone-heat-water-resistant\"\u003eRokTape\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eto seal all outdoor connection points. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCompare gain loss of this cable:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e915 MHz application: -1.8 dB (Helium mining\/LoRa device)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eWiFi 2.4 GHz application: -3.30 dB (standard home WiFi networking)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eWiFi 5 GHz application: -5.02 dB (dual-band 2.4\/5 GHz WiFi to 5 GHz networks)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eCompare this to a cheaper RG-58 shielded cable of the same length- the gain-loss would be -7.8 dB for 915 MHz, -15 dB for 2.4 GHz WiFi, and a whopping -25.8 dB for 5 GHz WiFi\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThat means standard RG-58 cables have about 4x times as much gain loss as this cable!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eIf you invested a lot in your antenna, it is worth the extra amount to get a 400-grade low-loss cable to maximize your antenna performance.
