FAQs
What is the primary advantage of a flat coaxial cable?
The primary advantage is its ability to pass through narrow openings like window or door frames without requiring drilling, offering a discreet and seal-friendly installation solution.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
It is compatible with devices that have SMA male connectors, such as Helium HNT hotspot miners, LoRaWAN gateways, and WiFi antennas operating at 50 Ohm impedance.
What is the length of the cable?
The cable is 42cm (approximately 16.5 inches) long.
Does this cable come with SMA female connectors on both ends?
No, this is an SMA Male to SMA Female extension cable. The male end connects to your device, and the female end connects to your antenna.
What is the impedance of this cable?
The cable has a 50 Ohm impedance, which is standard for most LoRa and WiFi applications.
Can I use this cable for 5GHz WiFi?
While the cable has listed attenuation up to 6GHz, its primary design focus is for LoRa frequencies. Performance at 5GHz might vary, and it's recommended to check signal attenuation at that specific frequency if critical.
What is the 'dedicated lengthened vibrator' mentioned?
This refers to a specific accessory or extension part designed for certain portable multi-band units like the jpc-7 (pac-12), likely to enhance their performance when used with this type of cable.
Troubleshooting
No signal detected after installation
Double-check that all SMA connections are securely fastened. Ensure the flat cable is not damaged or kinked. Verify that the external antenna is properly oriented and functioning.
Intermittent signal loss
Inspect the cable for any signs of wear or damage, especially at the point where it passes through the frame. Ensure the connectors are clean and free from debris. Test with a different SMA cable if possible to rule out the cable itself.
Cable is too short for desired placement
Consider using a small, high-quality SMA extension cable (if compatible with your impedance requirements) in conjunction with this flat cable, or look for alternative mounting solutions that bring your device closer to the window/door.
Poor performance compared to previous setup
Ensure the external antenna is correctly connected and oriented. Check the signal attenuation specifications of the flat cable against your specific operating frequency to confirm suitability. Verify that the device itself is functioning optimally.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Enables antenna placement outside for better signal reception without drilling.
Flexible flat cable design is discreet and easy to install.
Compatible with popular LoRa and Helium mining hardware.
Low signal loss maintains performance integrity.
Offers a practical, no-drill solution for signal extension.
Cons
Fixed length of 42cm may not suit all installation requirements.
Requires SMA connectors on both the device and antenna.
The flat design might be less robust than traditional round coaxial cables if subjected to sharp bends.
Only includes two cables in the set.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Identify the SMA male connector on your LoRa device or antenna.
Connect the SMA female end of the TAUOH flat cable to this device.
Identify the SMA male connector on the other end of the flat cable.
Connect the SMA female end of your external antenna to this connector.
Carefully route the flat cable through a window or door frame, ensuring it sits flush within the seal without excessive pinching.
Compatibility:
This cable is designed for devices utilizing standard SMA male connectors.
It is suitable for LoRaWAN gateways, Helium HNT hotspot miners, and other radio devices operating at 50 Ohm impedance.
Specifically mentioned compatibility with jpc-7 (pac-12) multi-band portable units.
Care:
Avoid sharp bends or kinking the flat cable, as this can damage the internal conductors and shielding.
Ensure the cable is not subjected to constant pressure or stress where it passes through frames.
Clean the connectors periodically with a dry, lint-free cloth if experiencing connection issues.
Protect the connectors from moisture and dust when not in use.
