Inmarsat Beam Passive SMA/TNC Cable Kit - 40m/131ft (ISD940)

The Inmarsat Beam Active SMA/TNC Cable Kit - 40m/131ft (ISD940) 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 ISD940 is an ultra-long 40-metre (131 feet) antenna cable kit specifically engineered for the most demanding fixed-site passive satellite communication installations. This industrial-strength solution is designed for expansive facilities where the antenna must be placed a great distance from the docking station—such as on high-elevation masts or distant building perimeters. To ensure signal integrity over a 131-foot run without active amplification, the kit utilizes a high-gauge main cable supported by a flexible fly lead adaptor.

Key Product Features

• Maximum Passive Reach: Provides 40m of cabling, supporting very large-scale fixed-site infrastructure.
• Integrated Fly Lead: Includes a 50cm TNC(f) to SMA(m) adaptor to allow the heavy 14.99mm main cable to interface safely with the docking station.
• Dual Cable Configuration: The kit contains both a 40m Inmarsat satellite antenna cable and a 40m GPS antenna cable.
• Ultra-Low Loss Engineering: Features a thick 14.99mm (0.59 inch) satellite cable diameter to minimise attenuation across the extended run.
• Industrial Build: Factory-terminated with high-quality connectors to ensure a secure, professional, and weather-resistant interface.

What’s Included

• 1x 39.5m (129.6ft) Passive Inmarsat Satellite Cable (TNC-m to TNC-m)
• 1x 40m (131.2ft) Passive GPS Cable (SMA-m to SMA-m)
• 1x 50cm (1.64ft) Fly Lead Adaptor (TNC-f to SMA-m)

Installation & Usage

The ISD940 kit is intended for expert professional installation in fixed environments requiring maximum cable spans.

• Use the provided 50cm fly lead adaptor to connect the heavy-duty main satellite cable to the docking station; this prevents mechanical stress and potential damage to the terminal's SMA port.
• Route the cables through industrial-grade conduits, ensuring you respect the 38mm single bend radius for the main satellite line.
• Given the significant weight (approx. 25 kg / 55.12 lbs), ensure all mounting hardware, masts, and cable supports are rated for industrial loads.
• This cable is strictly for fixed, stationary land installations and must not be used in maritime or vehicular applications.

Usage Tip: Passive cable kits can be specially ordered in lengths up to 50m for unique infrastructure projects. Please allow for a 4-6 week lead time for such custom configurations.
