TRENDnet TEW-L402 N-Type Male to Female Antenna Cable 6.5 ft

N-Type Male-to-Female Antenna Extension

This 6.5 ft coaxial cable connects an N-Type male antenna to an N-Type female device, letting you reposition the antenna for better reception. It suits installers who need to move a Wi-Fi antenna away from a router or access point without replacing the antenna itself. The flexible jacket and included weatherproof tape support outdoor or indoor routing. Buyers who need a different connector type or a longer run cannot use this cable.

Signal Loss at 2.4 and 5 GHz

Attenuation is 2.1 dB at 2.5 GHz and 3.0 dB at 5 GHz, so the cable is specified for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi bands. These loss figures are the single specification that determines whether the link budget still meets your range requirement. If your design cannot tolerate that insertion loss, this cable will not work.

Simple Thread-On Installation

Each end uses a standard N-Type thread; hand-tighten the male connector onto the antenna and the female onto the equipment, then wrap the joint with the supplied weatherproof tape. The most common issue is cross-threading the centre pin or leaving the tape loose, which lets moisture degrade the signal over time.
