About This Device
Part number C23FP-6QMAP from Panorama Antennas is a ready-made 6 m (19.7 ft) CS23 coax assembly with an FME male termination on one end and a QMA male on the other. Panorama builds this assembly on CS23, its 5 mm double-shielded coaxial cable that outperforms generic RG58/AU on loss and screening. It stays flexible enough for tight dashboard and cabinet routing while the twin shields hold interference out of the feed line. 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 QMA male end snap-locks onto QMA female ports without tools, a quick-connect fitting popular on fleet and public-safety antenna systems where service time matters. For best results, treat the feed line as part of the antenna system. Use the shortest practical length, respect the bend radius at each connector, and secure the run so vibration cannot work the couplings loose over time. 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.
