5 ft Low‑Loss RF Antenna Cable

The AIR‑CAB005LL‑R is a 5‑foot (≈1.5 m) low‑loss coaxial RF cable designed for use with Cisco Aironet Wi‑Fi access points and antennas. It provides a reliable, low‑attenuation connection for antenna extensions or placements where the access point and antenna need to be separated for optimal coverage.

Product Description

The Cisco AIR‑CAB005LL‑R is part of Cisco’s antenna cable accessory lineup, designed to interconnect wireless radio equipment (like access points or bridges) with external antennas using RP‑TNC (Reverse‑Polarity TNC) connectors at both ends. Its low‑loss construction maintains signal integrity over the 5‑foot length, making it useful for adjusting antenna placement without significant performance penalty.

Key Features

• 5 ft (≈1.52 m) Low‑Loss Cable — Provides modest extension between AP/bridge and antenna with minimal signal loss.

• RP‑TNC Connectors (Plug ↔ Jack) — Designed to mate with Cisco Aironet RP‑TNC antenna ports.

• Low Signal Attenuation — Approx. 0.5 dB loss at 2.4 GHz and 0.8 dB loss at 5.8 GHz, supporting dual‑band Wi‑Fi frequencies.

• Flexible Deployment — Allows placement of antennas away from constrained radio mounting spots for better coverage.

• Durable Construction — Suitable for indoor and outdoor installations when appropriately protected.

Typical Use Cases

• Antenna Extension — Extend antenna placement from AP mounts for better line‑of‑sight or coverage optimization.

• High‑Density Installations — Useful when external antennas are deployed in ceilings, racks, or other structured RF environments.

• Flexible Wireless Layouts — Helps reposition antennas without moving the core access point hardware.
