About This Device
The Panorama C29F-5SP is a 5 m (16.4 ft) factory-built CS29 coaxial cable assembly, fitted with a compact FME female jack on one end and a threaded SMA male plug 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 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 SMA plug mates with the SMA female antenna ports found on most cellular routers and gateways from Cradlepoint, Teltonika, Digi and Peplink. 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 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.
