SMA Connector and RF Cable

Hello,
I´m interested to purchase the next item [33-7872-00-3000] 33-7872-00-3000 Calian | RF e inalámbrico | DigiKey) but also I get the question of which accessories I´ll need to the installation. Is there any recommendation for this?

I appreciate your help.

It comes with a magnet integrated for magnetic mounting and also 4x 6-32 threaded holes if you which to mount it that way instead, screws don’t look to be supplied.

You can install / mount this using the magnet or using the screw holes.
Any other way you would would need to indicate what you are wanting to do for further recommendations.

Hello Nathan, thanks for your response.

We are developing a test equipment for a product that senses the GPS signal and they asked us to buy this model of antenna, but at the same time I am looking at the facilities for its installation on the roof. The distance from the antenna and the tester is like 50 meters.

Hi juan.perez6,

50 meters is a very long distance between the antenna and the rest of your equipment. Cables that long are likely to affect the signal, through attenuation, greater susceptibility to noise, and signal delay (important for GPS timing applications). If that proves to be an issue in your application, one can improve the attenuation problem by adding an inline amplifier, such as one of these.

The longest cable assembly we carry with SMA connectors is the 20m ASMA2000B058L13. If you need longer cables, then we can offer the SMA connectors and cables to make your own.
