Inmarsat Beam Active SMA/TNC Cable Kit - 80m/262.5ft (ISD945)

The Inmarsat Beam Active SMA/TNC Cable Kit - 80m/262.5ft (ISD945) 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 ISD945 is an ultra-long 80-metre (262.5 feet) antenna cable kit engineered for extreme-distance satellite communication installations. This industrial-strength kit is designed for the largest maritime vessels, extensive fixed sites, and deep-deck installations where the distance between the docking station and the antenna requires specialized, low-loss cabling. To ensure manageable installation and maintain signal integrity over nearly 263 feet, the kit utilizes a heavy-gauge main cable supported by flexible fly lead adaptors.

Key Product Features

• Extreme Distance Solution: Provides a massive 80m total run, making it ideal for the most challenging structural layouts in marine or fixed environments.
• Modular Connector System: Includes two fly lead adaptors to bridge the heavy-duty N-type main cable to standard SMA and TNC terminal ports.
• Active Power Management: Optimized to deliver the DC voltage necessary to power internal amplifiers in Beam active antenna models over an 80m span.
• Industrial-Grade Construction: Features a high-performance 28mm diameter main satellite cable to ensure minimal signal attenuation over extreme distances.
• Rapid Deployment Adaptors: Pre-terminated with high-quality connectors to ensure a secure, professional interface even at maximum range.

What’s Included

• 1x 78m (255.9ft) Active Inmarsat LCF78-50JA Satellite Cable (N-m to N-m)
• 1x 80m (262.5ft) Active GBC400 GPS Cable (SMA-m to SMA-m)
• 1x 0.5m to 1.0m Fly Lead Adaptor (N-f to SMA-m)
• 1x 0.5m to 1.0m Fly Lead Adaptor (N-f to TNC-m)

Installation & Usage

The ISD945 kit is intended for expert professional installation where standard cable lengths are insufficient for the facility or vessel layout.

• Use the provided fly lead adaptors at both ends of the main satellite cable to facilitate connection to the docking station and antenna, preventing mechanical stress on the ports.
• Observe the substantial minimum single bend radius of 120mm for the main satellite cable to prevent internal conductor damage.
• Given the extreme weight of this kit (29 kg / 63.93 lbs), it is typically shipped via pallet; ensure all cable trays and mounting supports are rated for industrial loads.
• Ensure the N-type main connectors are properly seated and protected from moisture in exposed environments.

Usage Tip: For specialized infrastructure projects, Beam active cable kits can be specially ordered in lengths up to 100m. Please allow for a 3-4 week lead time for these custom configurations.
