WL-400 QMA Cable Set - N-Type (2x30m): Maximum Extension for Tactical Security
In modern warfare, the position of a UAV operator or an EW crew is a priority target for enemy electronic reconnaissance (SIGINT). The WL-400 Coaxial Cable Set (2 pcs., 30 meters) allows for professional antenna extension to a safe distance from the control post. This ensures personnel survivability: antennas are placed on high masts or remote points, while the operator remains in a protected shelter.
Why the Italian CAVEL WL-400 cable - Is this the professionals' choice?
At a distance of 30 meters, the quality of the materials becomes the deciding factor. Cheaper alternatives at this length lead to a critical loss of signal strength, rendering amplifiers or control systems ineffective. Italian cable CAVEL WL 400 belongs to the Low Loss class and is the gold standard for operation in the frequency range up to 11 GHz.
- Minimum attenuation (Low Loss): The use of a high-quality dielectric ensures signal transmission with minimal loss even at a distance of 30 meters.
- Stable impedance of 50 Ohm: Full compliance with military communication standards, which eliminates the risk of equipment overheating due to high SWR.
- Wide frequency range: Stable operation from 0 to 11 GHz covers all the needs of modern UAV and electronic warfare systems.
- Italian production: The "CAVEL WL 400 ZHN"" marking guarantees the ideal geometry and durability of the conductor Unlike budget copies.
Technical and tactical characteristics of the WL-400 kit
The kit consists of two identical cable assemblies 30 meters long, which allows you to organize the operation of MIMO antennas or separate removal of the receiving and transmitting channels to a significant depth.

Advantages of QMA and N-Type interfaces
This cable assembly is specially designed for quick deployment in harsh field conditions:
- QMA Quick-Lock: Allows you to instantly connect the cable to the console or control station without screwing on the threads. This is critical when you need to urgently change your position.
- N-Type: A powerful and sealed connector that is the standard for most tactical antennas and communication amplifiers.
- Double Shielding: Protects the signal from external interference and the active influence of enemy electronic warfare.
Compatibility and Applications
The WL-400 cable from CAVEL is a full-fledged and often superior analogue of popular solutions. It is fully compatible with equipment using G37 cables:
- LMR-400 / RG-8/U
- SLL-400 / SLL-400-SFP / SLL-400-FP
Expert opinion: 30 meters is the optimal range, allowing the operator to remain in deep cover while the antennas operate in open terrain. A low SWR (<1.25) ensures that your transmitter won't be damaged by reflected power, even during prolonged operation at maximum settings.
Conclusion: Reliability that saves lives
The WL-400 QMA N-Type 30m Cable Kit (2 pcs.) is professional equipment for aerial reconnaissance and communications. CAVEL's Italian excellence ensures stable operation of your systems in the most challenging airwaves, providing a decisive advantage in range and safety.
FAQ: Six questions about the WL-400 Kit (30 m, QMA N-Type)
Why was the WL-400 cable chosen for a distance of 30 meters?
30 meters is a critical distance. Regular thin cables (RG-58) will "eat up" 70-80% of the signal power. WL-400 belongs to the Low Loss class: its thick central core delivers the signal to the antenna with minimal loss, ensuring a stable connection where others give up.
What is the logic behind using QMA and N-Type connectors on one cable?
This is a hybrid solution for convenience and reliability:
- QMA (Quick-lock) connects to the remote control or booster with one "click". This saves time in the field.
- N-Type (heavy-duty thread) screws onto an external antenna. This ensures a tight and durable connection in rain and wind.
Why are two 30-meter cables included in the kit?
The kit is designed for 2x2 MIMO systems. Modern digital systems transmit data in two planes simultaneously. For a stable link, both channels must be identical in length and quality. A pair of WL-400s guarantees perfect synchronization.
How does extending the antenna 30 meters save the operator?
This is your safety. The 30-meter range allows the pilot to remain in cover while the antenna is operating outside. The enemy takes the antenna's bearings, while the operator, 30 meters away in a dugout, remains outside the kill zone during a retaliatory strike on the signal source.
What are the specifics of using thick cable in the field?
WL-400 (10 mm diameter) is quite rigid. It cannot be bent at sharp angles. But it is very durable: the sheath is impervious to sun, moisture, and friction against rocks or metal mast surfaces.
Is it necessary to amplify the signal with such a long line?
At 30 meters, there is always attenuation.For best results, it's recommended to place active boosters (amplifiers) directly in front of the antennas. This turns the 30-meter WL-400 into the perfect high-speed highway for your signal.
