Antenna Cable Loss Chart

Power from the RFID Reader can escape through an Antenna Cable in an RFID system, which affects read range and read rates. To calculate the amount of RF energy loss to expect from your antenna cables, find your cable's length or desired length on our Antenna Cable Loss Chart.

This Antenna Cable Loss Chart has four columns, and the first increments cable length by 5 ft, all the way up to 180 ft. The other three columns denote insulation ratings and contain the exact amount of power lost in decibals, per 5 foot increment.
