Connecting RF Cables
RF Cable Deployment Requirements
- Use a short feeder cable to connect the antenna to an AP.
- It is recommended that you connect a 50 ohm RF load to an idle antenna interface.
- Bend radius requirements: RG-8U RF cable: > 150 mm; 1/2" RF cable: > 50 mm; 7/8" RF cable: > 250 mm. One inch (1") equals 25.4 mm.
- The grounding requirements of antennas are the same as those of APs.
RF Cable Connections
Connect the RF cables directly to the antenna interfaces.
Instructions on Making RF Cables
When making RF cables onsite, ensure that the coaxial cables and connectors in use comply with the mappings described in Table Coaxial cables and connectors.

Connecting the type-N male coaxial connector to the RG-8U feeder cable
- Peel the cable.
- Install accessories, such as the nut.
- Install the connector body.
- Tighten the connector on the cable.
- After assembly is complete, verify that cable attenuation is within the proper range. Take waterproof measures during the operation.
Connecting the type-N male coaxial connector to the 1/2" feeder cable
- Peel the cable.
- Install the back nut.
- Install the front nut.
- Put the cable through the heat-shrink tubing.
- After assembly is complete, verify that cable attenuation is within the proper range. Take waterproof measures during the operation.
