Inmarsat Beam Active SMA/TNC Cable Kit - 70m/229.7ft (ISD944)

The Inmarsat Beam Active SMA/TNC Cable Kit - 70m/229.7ft (ISD944) 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 ISD944 is a specialised, ultra-long 70-metre (229.7 feet) antenna cable kit engineered for extreme satellite communication distances. This kit is specifically designed for very large maritime vessels, high-rise fixed installations, and expansive industrial sites where the distance between the docking station and the antenna requires an industrial-strength cabling solution. To maintain signal integrity and ease of installation, this kit utilises a high-gauge main cable supported by flexible adaptor fly leads.

Key Product Features

• Ultra-Long Range: Provides a 70m total run, making it one of the longest standard active cable kits available for Inmarsat GSPS.
• Modular Connector System: Includes two 50cm fly lead adaptors to bridge the heavy-duty N-type main cable to standard SMA and TNC terminal ports.
• Active Power Distribution: Fully optimized to deliver the DC voltage necessary to power internal amplifiers in Beam active antenna models over the entire 230-foot span.
• Industrial-Grade Shielding: Features a thick 16.2mm satellite cable diameter to ensure minimal signal attenuation and maximum protection against interference.
• Weatherproof Reliability: Designed to maintain high-fidelity connectivity in harsh commercial, transport, and heavy-industry environments.

What’s Included

• 1x 69m (226.4ft) Active Inmarsat Satellite Cable (N-m to N-m)
• 1x 70m (229.7ft) Active GPS Cable (SMA-m to SMA-m)
• 1x 50cm Fly Lead Adaptor (N-f to SMA-m)
• 1x 50cm Fly Lead Adaptor (N-f to TNC-m)

Installation & Usage

The ISD944 kit is intended for professional installation where standard medium-range cables are insufficient for the structural layout.

• Utilise the 50cm fly-lead adaptors at both ends of the main satellite cable to ensure a flexible, safe connection to your docking station and antenna.
• Respect the minimum single bend radius of 70mm for the satellite cable and 22.2mm for the GPS cable to avoid damaging the internal conductors.
• Given the substantial weight of this kit (22 kg / 48.5 lbs), ensure all mounting hardware and cable supports are rated for industrial loads.
• Ensure the N-type connectors are fully seated and weather-sealed if exposed to the elements.

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