Panorama Antennas C29F-5QMAP 5m CS29 Low-Loss Whip/Radio Cable, FME Female to QMA Male

The C29F-5QMAP connects an antenna to a radio over a 5 m run. The FME female end mates with an FME male connector, and the QMA male end connects to a QMA female socket. This combination suits installations where a whip antenna needs to reach equipment with a QMA interface.

The assembly uses Panorama's CS29 cable (part SR1-029-B), a 5.0 mm (0.20 in) double-screened coax. An aluminium foil inner shield sits under a tin-plated copper braid with no less than 95% coverage. Panorama notes this dual shielding significantly reduces attenuation, especially at higher frequencies. The stranded copper centre conductor and cellular polyethylene dielectric give the cable its flexibility, which helps when routing through vehicle trim or equipment cabinets.

Panorama publishes typical attenuation of 2.2 dB per 10 m at 400 MHz, 4 dB per 10 m at 1 GHz and 5.5 dB per 10 m at 2 GHz. Impedance is 50 Ω (±2 Ω at 1 GHz, ±4 Ω at 2 GHz). Shielding effectiveness is better than -95 dB to IEC 61196-1 at 400 MHz. The black TPE jacket is rated from -40 °C to +80 °C, with a 1000 VDC voltage withstand and a 3000 V RMS jacket spark test.

The assembly is made in the United Kingdom by Panorama Antennas Ltd. It gives radio and field-operations teams a flexible, well-shielded antenna lead rated for frequencies up to 3 GHz.
