Inmarsat Beam Active SMA/TNC Cable Kit - 18.5m/60.9ft (ISD934)

The Inmarsat Beam Active SMA/TNC Cable Kit - 18.5m/60.9ft (ISD934) is a professional-grade product designed for reliable performance in business-critical and industrial environments. Built to meet commercial standards, it is suitable for daily operational use.

The ISD934 is a high-quality 18.5-metre antenna cable kit that provides a flexible installation option for most marine, transport, or fixed-site installations. This kit is specifically designed to bridge the distance between a Beam docking station and an active antenna while maintaining signal integrity and providing the necessary power for internal antenna amplification.

Key Product Features

• Extended Reach: Includes 18.5 metres of cabling to facilitate installations where the antenna must be mounted a significant distance from the docking unit.
• Dual Cable Kit: The kit contains both an Inmarsat satellite antenna cable and a dedicated GPS antenna cable.
• Active System Compatibility: Engineered to carry the DC power required by active antennas to function correctly.
• Pre-Terminated Connectors: Factory-terminated with SMA and TNC connectors for a secure, low-loss connection.
• Marine and Industrial Grade: Designed to withstand the rigours of commercial maritime and heavy industry environments.

What’s Included

• 1x 18.5m (60.7ft) Active Inmarsat Satellite Cable (TNC-m to SMA-m)
• 1x 18.5m (60.7ft) Active GPS Cable (SMA-m to SMA-m)

Installation & Usage

The ISD934 kit is intended for professional installation in environments requiring medium-to-long cable runs.

• Route the 18.5m cables between the antenna and docking station, ensuring you observe the minimum single bend radius of 19.1mm for the satellite cable.
• Connect the TNC(m) connector to the antenna and the SMA(m) connector to the satellite port on the docking station.
• Connect the GPS cable using the SMA(m) connectors at both the antenna and the terminal endpoints.
• Avoid tight corners where the cable might be subjected to repeated bending below the 63.5mm repeat bend radius.

Usage Tip: This cable kit must only be used with active antennas. It is not compatible with passive antennas, as active antennas require the specific power-handling capabilities provided by this cable type.
