Does anyone know if these connecors (RP-TNC) will work with the antenna's on the Linksys wireless AP?

I need to move one of the antenna's away from the AP and need to know what cable to buy. Someone selling Cisco equipment on eBay told me that they should work but I am not sure if they will.

What length of cable / how far do you want to move the antenna?

At 2.4 Gig, almost any cable is gonna lose a lot of signal. If it's critical, you might want to check out Andrew Corporation (www.andrew.com)as a source. They have a &quot;flex&quot; 1/4&quot; or 3/8&quot; hardline that will keep as much of the signal as possible without getting too bulky. It's expensive stuff, but, if you need it it's worth it...they're the best. If you're not used to cable terms &amp; lookups....it'd probably easier to call them and spec it out for a quote.

Good Luck

I was going to move one of the antenna's into another room (through a wall) at most 10'.

Here is a pic of the ends on the Cisco cable.

My college has both a Linksys and Cisco AP, I emailed the IT guy and he said that it should work. Here is a link to the auction on eBay
