About This Device
The Panorama C23N-1T is a 1 m (3.28 ft) CS23 coaxial cable assembly terminated with an N-type male connector on one end and a TNC male on the other. CS23 is Panorama's double-shielded 5 mm coaxial cable and a low-loss alternative to standard RG58/AU. The double screen keeps ignition noise and adjacent-cable interference out of the antenna feed, while the flexible jacket takes the tight bends of dashboards, equipment cabinets, and cable trays without kinking. The N-type male end mates with the N female ports standard on outdoor cellular, 5G, and Wi-Fi antennas, and the large threaded interface tolerates weather and repeated handling. The TNC male end threads onto TNC female ports used on GPS timing receivers, telemetry radios, and many fixed antennas, and the screw coupling stays put under vibration. As with any coax, plan the shortest run that reaches: extra length adds loss you cannot get back. Route the cable away from high-current wiring where practical, avoid tight kinks at the connector boots, and leave a small service loop at the equipment end. 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.
