RF Cables High Performance Signal Transmission for Wireless Networks

RF cable SWR (standing wave ratio) is extremely important. An SWR close to one means power transfer is optimal while a high value SWR indicates possible mismatch between cable/connector/load and circuit impedance. Measuring and evaluating SWR assists in troubleshooting the system. SWR measurements can easily be taken with SWR meters. Increasing strength of the RF signal improves range while reducing potential risk posed by excessive power reflection to RF equipment.
