If the length of the coaxial antenna cable is insufficient to cover the distance between the EHWIC card and the location of the installed antenna you can use ultra low loss TNC extension cables between the EHWIC card and the antenna cable RF energy is carried between the antennas and the radio equipment through a coaxial cable An antenna cable introduces signal loss in the antenna system for both the transmitter and the receiver Although the cable run can be 100 feet 30 m or more from the EHWIC card to antenna locations the longer the cable run the greater the signal loss To reduce signal loss minimize the cable length and use only ultra low loss antenna cables to connect radio devices to antennas To connect faceplate mounted or ceiling mounted antennas follow the installation instructions for your antenna e For more information about connecting the 3G ANTM1919D antenna to EHWIC cards see the Cisco Multiband Swivel Mount Dipole Antenna 3G ANTM1919D document e For more information about connecting the 3G ANT1916 CM antenna to EHWIC cards see the Cisco Multiband Omnidirectional Ceiling Mount Antenna 3G ANTM1916 CM document e For more information about connecting the 3G AE015 R antenna extension to EHWIC cards see the Cisco Extended Antenna Base 3G AE015 R document mi Connecting Cisco EHWIC 3G HSPA U EHWIC 3G HSPA 7 and EHWIC 3G HSPA 7 A to the Network Connecting Cisco EHWIC 3G HSPA U EHWIC 3G HSPA 7 and EHWIC
