2.5 Connect external antenna

There are 2 N-type coaxial cable joints (Female) on the back

panels of XCRF-500 reader series to connect the external

antenna. Be sure that the installation of the antenna must be

performed by professional installers authorized by the

provider. Sketch map of connection between reader and

external antenna is shown in figure 2-4.

Low loss radio frequency cable with a standard length of 10

meters is recommended for the connection between reader and

antenna. Insert loss of the Low loss radio frequency cable

must be at least 1 dB and less than 2dB.When connecting

with antenna and reader, the cable joint should be tightly

screwed. In practical installation, a heat-contracted pipe should

be used to airproof the cable joint for protection once it is

screwed.
