About This Device
The Panorama C240N-16SP is a 16 m (52.5 ft) CS240 coaxial cable assembly terminated with an N-type male connector on one end and an SMA male on the other. CS240 is Panorama's ultra-low-loss 6.1 mm double-screened coaxial cable, built for longer runs where thinner coax would give up too much signal before it reaches the radio. 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 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. 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 CS240 assembly ships with its connectors fitted and tested before it leaves the factory - eliminating the most common failure point in field-built coax.
