What is the Maximum Antenna Cable length?

When using the standard supply Antenna cable (RW-00135), the maximum cable length between the Antenna & PSU is 50M

There are options available to extend this distance as detailed in the below table :


MAX Length Cable Type Remarks
Antenna > PSU 50M RW-00135 -
Antenna > PSU 100M RW-9600 LAN Signal Convertor Kit required
Antenna > PSU 460M RW-9600 + Ships cables LAN Signal Convertor Kit required + 2 x RJB-001 Junction boxes


What is a LAN Signal Convertor Kit?

The LAN Signal convertor allows the use of the older RW-9600 antenna cable, perfect for retro-fits and cases where you need to extend the distance between the Antenna & PSU beyond 50M.

The LAN Signal Convertors are installed inside the Antenna and PSU.

There are different types of LAN Signal Convertor Kits depending on the type of Antenna :

RADAR Convertor Kit
Magnetron Antenna OP03-223-3
Solid State Antenna (NXT) OP03-223-4



If the distance between the Antenna & PSU does not exceed 100M, you can wire the RW-9600 directly into the respective units. 


If the distance between the Antenna & PSU does exceed 100M, you will need to use 2 x RJB-001 Junction boxes and Ships supply cables : 

  • RW-9600 cable between the Antenna & RJB-001 
  • RG-12/UY & 3 x DPYCY-6 Ships cable between the 2 x RJB-001 
  • RW-9600 cable between PSU & RJB-001


Are there any other Maximum cable lengths to consider?
