FBR195
FBR195 low loss antenna extension cable, 5m and 10m
LMR-195 equivalent, double shielded, UV-resistant jacket, rated DC to 6GHz. Lower loss than RG58 for longer drops.
About the FBR195
Aim to keep total cable loss under about 6dB. At 10dB you have lost 90% of the signal power.
Over 10-15m at 5G frequencies, the losses add up. Moving the router closer to the antenna and running Ethernet back is usually the better option.
