Instead of mounting the 9000APC module within a few feet of the External antenna high on the mast, has anyone used coax to connect the external antenna to a APC module 80 feet below in a safe cabinet?
If so, what kind of cable? Is this an option. Thx
P.S. Canopy Support doesn’t recommend this configuration.

Not recommended because you will lose 3dB or more across the cable and connectors. You want all the power you can get to the antenna.
We have a 9000SMC that has been connected to the Maxrad 8dBi panel for over a year and it works as well or better than our integrated 9000AP. The AP is exposed ona tower on the top of a 3800’ mountain.
