Coaxial cable measurement
This measure aims at checking the cable characteristics at 868MHz ETSI or 902MHz FCC and the quality of
the installation.
Type of measurements :
VSWR
Loss
Length
The main cable measures must not exceed the following:
VSWR : < 1.2 or >21dB Return loss @ 868MHz or 902MHz
Loss : < 2dB max @ 868MHz or 902MHz
Maximum cable length depending on cable type:
LMR 400 → max 14m
1/2" LDF4-50 → max 24m
The main cable measurement must be performed once it installed in the cable tray.
Coaxial bending radius
Static mode:
LMR 400 → Radius mini 4cm
1/2" LDF4-50 → Radius mini 15cm
