Correct cable and connectors needed.

Post by easternnc4me »

I have the Netgear Nighthawk M1 hot spot that uses antennas with a TS9 connector. I plan on buying the 698-2700MHz Yagi Radome 9dBi-11dBi 4G LTE Directional Antenna listed on the online store:
https://thewirelesshaven.com/shop/antennas/4g-lte ... l-antenna/

My questions are:
1. What specific cable do I need to run from the antennas to the hot spot?
2. What specific connectors do I need to connect the antennas to the cable?
3. What specific connectors do I need to plug in the cable to the hot spot?

Cable run length will be around 35-40 feet.

Links appreciated. If all of these things are available on this site even better. Thank you for your time.

I would buy LMR400 cable for that long of a run. You'll need one end with a N-Male connector for the Log Periodic Antennas you are looking at from The Wireless Haven (I use the same ones, and they are quite good for the price point).

The other end of the LMR400 cable can be SMA Male, and you'll need a adapter like this: https://thewirelesshaven.com/shop/rf-connectors/s ... e-adapter/

Hello.
I have a nighthawk m1 that I have used with same setup. Exact same fittings. Sma female to ts9 male. The issue I had is lmr 400 cable is very stiff and rigid. About impossible to keep fittings in the night hawk m1 when attached directly to the cable. They just pop out over and over. Ended up needing same type fitting but on jumper cables type. Just for the flexibility to keep them connected. Like this photo.
