The Siretta RF Cable product line is designed to ensure the best signal quality. From short internal ‘PCB to bulkhead’ links all the way to long extension cables with multiple connectivity options. There is a standard length offering for popular configurations and in addition, a bespoke service for custom assemblies. Contact us now for a quote.
Siretta coax pigtail assemblies are made from high quality components and assembly methods to control VSWR and Return Loss. Two cable types are available, the smaller and more flexible 1.13mm and standard RG174. Selection is somewhat dependent on length and consequentially, attenuation. Various connector types can be chosen to suit: PCB mount, case mount or free movement types. PCB types are IPEX brand connectors; chosen for their reliability and are compatible with uFL connectors.
Patch cables are typically used for machine to machine interconnections and the RG174 type LLC100 low loss cable type is suitable for good signal strength links.
Siretta Extension Cables are made from high quality components to ensure signal strength is preserved. Our extension cables use LLC200 cable which is a low loss RG58 type cable. Low loss cable is best for lengths over 5m unless a very high gain antenna is used. When connecting to an external antenna there is a risk of lightening using the antenna to dissipate the energy to ground. To mitigate against this high voltage energy entering the equipment, a ‘Surge Arrestor’ should be installed at the building entry point.
RF cables for internal equipment that use short interconnections will come under the ‘Pigtail’ heading. The cable type is typically 1.13mm coax for internal (in machine) cable assemblies and RG174 for interconnections.
Medium length RF cables from 0.5m to 5m can be found under the ‘Patch Cables’ heading. Patch cables are typically used for machine to machine interconnections and are RG174, standard or low loss cable types.
The longer RF cables are typically used to connect from machine or device to an externally mounted antenna. Cable lengths can be from 5m up to 25m.
The longer the cable the more the signal is attenuated, choosing a high gain antenna is key for a successful link to be established. Low loss cables are best for longer links and preserve more signal. The stronger the signal the more reliable the link will be.
