The Panorama C240N-10SP-5GA is a professional-grade RF extension cable built for real-world cellular installations where antennas must be mounted outdoors or at height, and the router is installed safely indoors.
At 10 metres, cable loss becomes a serious consideration. This is why Panorama uses CS240 low-loss coax, not thin consumer cable. The result is materially better signal integrity, higher usable SINR, and more stable throughput, particularly on 4G LTE-Advanced and 5G sub-6 GHz deployments.
This cable is most commonly used when pairing directional or panel antennas with SMA-based routers, including industrial and enterprise 4G/5G routers.
Connector configuration (important)
N Male
Connects directly to antennas with N Female connectors (typical on outdoor directional and MIMO antennas)SMA Male
Connects to router antenna ports (most industrial 4G/5G routers use SMA Female)
This makes the cable ideal for antennas such as 4×4 MIMO directional panels, where each antenna element terminates in an N Female connector.
Why CS240 cable matters
At 10 metres, cable choice is not cosmetic, it is electrical.
CS240 offers:
- Significantly lower attenuation than RG58-type cable
- Better performance at higher LTE and 5G frequencies
- Improved uplink stability (often overlooked, but critical)
- Reduced impact on SINR compared to thin coax
In practical terms:
You keep more of the signal your antenna captures.
This is especially important for:
- 4×4 MIMO antennas
- High-gain directional antennas
- Rural, fringe-coverage, or high-interference environments
- 5G NSA deployments relying on strong LTE anchors
Typical use with 4×4 MIMO directional antennas
Many professional 4×4 MIMO directional antennas (such as large panel antennas) use four separate antenna elements, each with its own connector.
These elements are typically arranged as:
- 2 × vertical polarisation
- 2 × horizontal (or cross-polarised) polarisation
This is deliberate. It allows the cellular modem to:
- Transmit and receive multiple spatial streams
- Improve throughput, resilience, and stability
- Reduce sensitivity to reflections and interference
To preserve this performance, each antenna port requires its own matched cable run.
That means:
- 4 × identical low-loss cables
- Equal length
- Consistent cable type
Using four Panorama C240N-10SP-5GA 10m cables ensures:
- Balanced MIMO paths
- Predictable RF performance
- No artificial bottlenecks introduced by mismatched or lossy cabling
This is why this cable is commonly specified in sets of four for professional 4×4 MIMO antenna installations.
Installation notes (worth knowing)
- Designed for outdoor antenna to indoor router runs
- Suitable for mast-mounted, wall-mounted, and rooftop antennas
- Flexible enough for routing, but robust enough for permanent installs
- Always avoid mixing cable types or lengths on MIMO antennas
- For longer runs, consider stepping up to thicker coax rather than extending beyond 10m with thinner cable
