Connecting RF Cables
RF Cable Connections
Connect the feeder connector to the radio interface of an AP using an RF transit cable (sold separately) and tighten the connector to the interface. The recommended tightening torque is 1 N·m.
Tighten the connector according to the following figure. Avoid rotating the cable with the connector; otherwise, the core wires of the cable may be damaged.
The following table lists RF transit cables.

The longer the feeder, the weaker the signal strength within the antenna coverage range. You are advised to use short feeders based on the actual situation. The 15-meter feeder cable is not recommended.
RF Cable Deployment Requirements
- A 50-ohm RF load must be connected to an idle RF port on an AP.
- The bending radius of RF cables must be no smaller than 30 mm.
- The grounding requirements of antennas are the same as those of APs.
