About This Device
The Panorama C240SP-8SMAJ is a 8 m (26.2 ft) factory-built CS240 coaxial cable assembly, fitted with a threaded SMA male plug on one end and a threaded SMA female jack on the other. It is built for cellular router and antenna installations, where every dB of cable loss comes straight off your link budget. Panorama's CS240 cable is double-shielded 6.1 mm solid-core coax with a flame-retardant, zero-halogen (FRZH) jacket, running at the 50-ohm impedance used across cellular, GNSS and Wi-Fi RF paths. The larger 6.1 mm solid-core construction is Panorama's answer for longer runs: it holds attenuation down where thinner jumper cable would eat too much signal, in both mobile and fixed installations. Because both connectors are terminated and tested at the factory, you avoid the loss and reliability penalties of field crimping. On the equipment side, the SMA jack mates with SMA male antenna leads and device pigtails, including most cellular antenna tails. At the other end, the SMA plug connects to the SMA female antenna ports found on most cellular routers and gateways from Cradlepoint, Teltonika, Digi and Peplink. Typical uses include extending roof or wall-mounted antenna feeds to a rack-mounted cellular router and repositioning a paddle or dome antenna away from RF-noisy equipment. Route the cable with gentle bends, avoid crushing it under cable ties, and snug threaded connectors evenly to keep the RF joint consistent. For IT teams and installers, a pre-terminated Panorama assembly is the fast path to a clean, repeatable install: pick the length, match the connectors, and skip the crimp tooling entirely.
