Product Information
Full details
The Panorama Antennas C23FP-5SP-GPS is a high-performance coaxial cable engineered for professional installers and technicians who need to connect vehicle antennas to GNSS or GPS devices. It provides a reliable, low-loss signal bridge between hardware components with its 5-meter reach, though users should ensure their specific device ports match the FME(male) and SMA(male) connectors before installation.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can this cable be shortened?
It is not recommended to cut or re-terminate this cable, as doing so will negatively impact the impedance and shielding performance of the coaxial line.
Is this cable weather-resistant?
While durable, the cable is intended for internal vehicle routing. External sections should be protected from direct, prolonged UV and moisture exposure.
What does FME(m) to SMA(m) mean?
This refers to the connector types. The cable has a male FME connector on one end and a male SMA connector on the other.
Will this work with cellular antennas?
This specific cable is optimized for GNSS/GPS applications. While the connectors may fit other systems, performance is not guaranteed outside of GNSS frequency ranges.
Can I daisy-chain two of these cables?
Adding extra connections via adapters increases signal loss. It is always better to use a single continuous length of cable whenever possible.
Troubleshooting
No GPS signal detected after installation
Verify that both the FME and SMA connectors are fully seated and tightened. Check the cable for any sharp kinks or visible damage.
Intermittent signal dropouts
Ensure the connectors are free of dust or metallic particles. Check that the cable is not running parallel to high-voltage power lines, which may cause interference.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality shielding for stable signal transmission
- Ample 5-meter length for flexible routing
- Industry-standard FME and SMA connectors
- Professional-grade build quality
Cons
- Connector types are specific; requires adapters for non-standard equipment
- Fixed 5-meter length may be too long for some tight spaces
- Requires careful routing to avoid sharp bends
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, follow these guidelines:
- Compatibility Check: Confirm your antenna uses an FME(f) connector and your device features an SMA(f) port.
- Cable Routing: Avoid kinking or bending the cable at angles tighter than a 2-inch radius, as this can damage the internal shielding.
- Connection: Hand-tighten the SMA connector securely; avoid using pliers which may over-tighten and damage the pins.
- Maintenance: Periodically inspect the connectors for debris or corrosion, especially if the connections are located near external cabin areas.
