About This Device
Panorama's C23TNCRV-5SMARV covers the gap between antenna and radio with 5 m (16.4 ft) of CS23 coax, factory-terminated RP-TNC male to RP-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 RP-TNC male end mates with the RP-TNC female ports used on many enterprise Wi-Fi access points, and the threaded coupling holds firm under vibration. The RP-SMA male end mates with the RP-SMA female ports common on Wi-Fi access points, routers, and some IoT gateways; reverse polarity swaps the center contact, so check your port before ordering. 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.
