The Bridge Between Antenna and Router – Without Compromises
You've invested in a powerful 5-in-1 Antenna – now make sure the signal reaches your Router with full strength. The Poynting A-CAB-118 Cable Set is designed precisely for this. Instead of relying on standard cables that swallow a significant portion of your valuable signal over 5 meters, this set uses the superior HDF-195 Low Loss Cable. The result: a more stable connection, higher data rates, and more reliable performance, whether you're in an urban area or the countryside.
Safety On Board: Flame-Retardant and Vehicle Certified
Especially when installing in vehicles like buses, trains, or your campervan, safety is paramount. The A-CAB-118 meets the highest requirements here. The Cables are not only flame-retardant (Fire Retardant) but also low-smoke and non-halogen. This means significantly fewer toxic gases are released in case of fire – a mandatory requirement for many commercial and public transport vehicles and a reassuring feeling for your private 4G / WiFi Routers Vehicle Extension Cable installation.
Plug & Play for Your 5-in-1 System
No more chaos from ill-fitting connectors and adapters. This Cable Set is precisely tailored to the most common 5-in-1 setups. You get five bundled Cables: three with SMA connectors for your 4G / 5G and GPS connections, and two with RP-SMA connectors, the standard for WLAN/WiFi. The connections fit perfectly on Poynting Antennas like the MIMO-3 or PUCK series and the corresponding connections of most mobile Routers. Just plug in and get started.
Built for Demanding Mobile Use
The A-CAB-118 is not a fair-weather Cable. It was designed for continuous and demanding use. The high RF shielding of over 90 dB protects your signal from external interference. The wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C and high humidity tolerance ensure reliable function under almost all conditions. This Cable Set is an investment in the longevity and stability of your entire mobile internet setup.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I also use this cable set for my 7-in-1 Antenna?
Unfortunately, no. This set is precisely designed for 5-in-1 Antennas and contains exactly five cables. For your 7-in-1 Antenna, you'll need a set with seven cables so you can connect all ports.
What exactly do the different SMA and RP-SMA connectors mean?
It's simple: The three SMA connectors are for your mobile Network signals (4G/5G), which you connect to your Router. The two RP-SMA (Reverse Polarity) connectors are specifically for your WiFi connections. Important: You cannot swap them, as they are mechanically different. This ensures that each signal lands on the correct port.
I only need 2 meters. Can I simply shorten this 5-meter Cable Set myself?
We strongly advise against it! Professional shortening and attaching new connectors (known as crimping) requires special tools and extensive experience. An incorrectly installed connector can severely degrade your Antenna's performance. It's better to opt for a suitable, shorter Cable Set to avoid unnecessary cable lengths and signal loss from the outset.
Will the Cable Set withstand wind and weather on my vehicle roof?
Absolutely! That's exactly what it's made for. The Cable is UV-resistant, designed for temperatures from -20°C to +70°C, and easily withstands typical environmental influences when mounted on a vehicle. So, you can rely on a durable and robust connection.
How much signal loss should I expect with this 5-meter Cable in a 5G Network?
Good question! Signal loss, also known as attenuation, depends on the frequency. In the common 5G range around 2500 MHz, the loss is approximately 0.6 dB per meter. So, for the entire 5 meters, you should expect a signal loss of around 3.0 dB. That's a top value for a Cable of this length and quality!
My Router has TS-9 connectors. Is the Cable Set still compatible with my device?
Yes, that works! However, you'll also need suitable Coaxial Pigtails. For your mobile Network connections, these would be SMA to TS-9 Adapters. But it's best to double-check which connectors your Router has for WiFi, as you might need different Adapters (from RP-SMA) here.
