Information

AIR802® offers professional high quality antenna cable assemblies, jumpers or pigtails for the wireless industry. These antenna cables are all manufactured in the USA in varying sizes and connector options utilizing the AIR802® coaxial antenna wire and connectors. AIR802® offers one of the world's largest selections of cable assemblies. Each cable is fully tested for insertion loss and VSWR to insure that only high quality cables are shipped. Most orders are shipped the same day of the order. 

 

AIR802® manufactures antenna cable assemblies with various cable types. The smaller the diameter of the cable, the more signal loss will occur over each foot or meter of cable. Conversely the larger the diameter of the cable there will be less signal loss over the same length of cable.

 

A chart of basic facts is shown below for your reference.

 

Cable	Jacket Outer Diameter	Color	Jacket Outer Diameter	Center Conductor	Comparison Signal Loss at 2.4 GHz/20 Feet
CA100	FR-PVC	Black	0.110 inches (2.79mm)	Solid	7.8 dBi
CA195FR	FR-PVC	Black or White	0.195 inches (4.95mm)	Solid	3.7 dBi
CA400	Polyethylene	Black	0.405 inches (10.29mm)	Solid	1.3 dBi
CA400FLEX	TPE	White	0.405 inches (10.29mm)	Stranded	1.6 dBi
CA600	Polyethylene	Black	0.590 inches (14.99mm)	Solid	0.9 dBi

Some general concepts:

 

CA100 - used for pigtail cables measured in inches only.

CA195FR - flame retardant - maybe used indoor or outdoor - maximum lengths of 15 to 25 feet depending on frequency utilized - If longer lengths required please contact us.

CA400 - generally used at lengths up to 100 feet

CA400FLEX - generally used with lengths up to 100 feet, especially where flexibility in routing the cable is needed during installations.

CA600 - available in many lengths from 3 feet to 500 feet.

 

Please choose your antenna cable carefully in terms of connector requirements and length. AIR802®  does not accept returns of antenna cable assemblies. They can't be restocked. For your reference we provide a connector identification chart and a manufacturer connector reference. Each antenna cable is sealed in a bag to keep dust, etc. from the cable connectors.
