Fit-PC2 Wireless Antenna Specs

Post by craighickman »

I'm curious as to the specifications of the connector for the WLAN antenna. We need to purchase extensions for our FIT-PC's, as they're too deep inside of a robot for wireless to reach.

Thanks!

The antenna connector is RP-SMA.
Here is an example photo of extension cable:

lol sorry for bumping old thread but Im wondering, if we get this cable, does it matter what length (e.g will we lose performance with lets say s 9meter cable) or does it not matter?

It will lose performance of course, but the equation is pretty complex.
You need to know the cable type, materials used, etc.
