About This Device
Panorama's C23FP-3SP covers the gap between antenna and radio with 3 m (9.84 ft) of CS23 coax, factory-terminated FME male to SMA male. The CS23 cable underneath is Panorama's 5 mm double-shielded coax, specified as a low-loss alternative to RG58/AU. Two layers of screening suppress pickup from ignition systems and neighboring wiring, and the flexible construction routes cleanly through vehicles and enclosures. The FME male end mates with the FME female leads fitted to many Panorama antennas, and its slim threaded body pulls through grommets, conduit, and panel holes without needing an oversized opening. The SMA male end threads onto the SMA female antenna ports found on most cellular routers and gateways, including Cradlepoint, Teltonika, Digi, Peplink, and Sierra Wireless hardware. Keep installation habits simple: choose the shortest length that completes the run, avoid crushing or kinking the cable at panel exits, and dress it away from power looms where you can. A short service loop at each end makes future service painless. Panorama Antennas has designed and manufactured antenna systems and RF cable assemblies since 1947, and every CS23 assembly ships with its connectors fitted and tested before it leaves the factory - eliminating the most common failure point in field-built coax.
