We recently had a client reach out to us about a cellular antenna that he wanted to place on the side of his building. He noticed that we had a vehicular antenna, part 170653-000, and wanted something similar to that product. He also informed us that he was looking for a 25-foot cable extension and wanted to receive some recommendations.   Considering part # 170653-000 is a dual cellular product and our assumption that your main concern is to have an antenna outside, we recommend 2 pcs of the Cradlepoint outdoor omnidirectional antenna # 170668-000. Part # 170668-000 is a...

Q) I recently purchased part # S8658PL96RTN but need a 25 ft. cable. Unfortunately, this part # comes with a 10 ft. cable so it’s not long enough. Is there any way I can purchase this part but with a 25 ft. cable?   A) The part purchased has a 96 inch /8-foot long cable with an RPTNC-male connector. Unfortunately, we do not carry this part with a 25 ft. cable, so you’d have to purchase a cable extension. Below you will find a few suggestions…   PT195-018-RTF-RTM: LMR195 cable, 18 ft. long with RPTNC-Female & RPTNC-Male connectors. PT195-015-RTF-RTM: LMR195...
