And Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Why are Horn CC antennas with N-female connectors more expensive than TwistPort Horn + TwistPortTM Adapter with SMA Connectors? If the TwistPort waveguide is a near-zero loss transmission line (direct connection to the waveguide) what happens to the losses at the N-female output (how much do I understand it is internally connected to the cables)? What is the benefit of N-female connector interface over RP-SMA female connector interface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 The CC horns have short, high-quality semi-rigid cables connecting the N-connectors to the waveguide feed of the antenna under the red cap. Since we control the manufacturing of the antennas, these cables add minimum loss compared to the combo of TwistPort horn + TPA-SMA. Some providers prefer the N-connectors over the SMA, because they might use higher tier / quality radios (example here) that have N-conn output.

And Posted July 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 I'll try to post pictures of what's inside. Hopefully everything will be exactly as you described (highest carrier class quality). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
