About This Device
When an antenna cannot sit next to the equipment it feeds, the cable in between decides how much signal actually arrives. The Panorama C29F-5QMAP covers that gap with 5 m (16.4 ft) of CS29 low-loss coax, factory-terminated with a compact FME female jack and a quick-lock QMA male plug. Panorama's CS29 cable is double-screened 5 mm coax with a stranded centre conductor and semi-air-spaced dielectric, running at the 50-ohm impedance used across cellular, GNSS and Wi-Fi RF paths. The stranded centre conductor keeps the cable flexible for tight routing, while the double screen holds attenuation low across cellular, GNSS and ISM frequencies. 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 QMA plug mates with QMA female sockets on mobile two-way radios and radio-ready antenna systems. At the other end, the FME jack connects to FME male terminations, and it adapts to SMA, TNC or N-type via low-cost FME adapters. Typical uses include motorola mobile radio installs using quick-lock QMA antenna connections and fleet vehicle radio fit-outs where cables route through headliners and pillars. 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.
