9.6 IFL Cable Considerations

Consideration should be given to using a high quality IFL between the indoor equipment and Compact Outdoor SSPB. The system designer must always consider the total cable loss for a given length and also the implications of the slope of attenuation across the 950 to 1450 MHz bandwidth. Table 9-3 gives the approximate attenuation vs. frequency for a variety of cable types.

Table 9-3: Common Coaxial Cable Characteristics

Cable Type	Center	Outer	Attenuation at	Attenuation at	Slope across	Slope across
	Conductor DC	Diameter	950 MHz	1450 MHz	band for 100	band for 300
	Resistance per	(inches)	dB per 100 ft.	dB per 100 ft.	ft. cable (dB)	ft. cable (dB)
	1000 ft.
RG-214	1.7	.425	7.8	11.3	3.5	10.5

Belden 8214	1.2	.403	6.8	9.2	2.4	7.2

Belden 7733	.9	.355	5.8	8.3	2.5	7.5

Belden 9914	1.2	.403	4.5	6.3	1.8	5.4

Belden 9913	.9	.403	4.2	5.6	1.4	4.2

It is recommended to use a quality grade of 50 ohm cable such as Belden 9913, 9914, or 7733. Check the manufacturer’s technical data to make sure that the insulation is sufficient for the particular installation including the cable’s temperature range. Also make sure the coaxial connector from the IFL cable to the Compact Outdoor input is wrapped with a weather sealing tape to prevent water intrusion into the coaxial cable.
