BINGFUSMA Male to SMA Female Bulkhead Mount RG174 Antenna Extension Cable 3m 10 feet (2-Pack) Compatible with 4G LTE Router Gateway Modem Mobile Cellular Receiver

I ordered two packs of ten-foot-long cables, (each pack containing two cables), to try out on my new Waveform quad antennas. I tested them on both my Quad Mini and Quad Pro antennas. The results were excellent. There was no noticeable loss in speed or increase in ping. Additionally, by raising the antennas about six feet higher than they were before, I actually experienced an overall speed increase.

When I built my network rack I bought the optional rack mount kit for my router and then installed it into my network rack. Being a full metal frame and with components above and below the router the antennas would have been worthless in the rack, so I've used these leads to move the antennas outside the rack where they can be of use.

My fault for not noticing the close-up picture of the ends. Apparently rp-sma is different from sma.Wifi card antennas needs the opposite. My wifi is the top in the pict. The lower two ends are one of one of these cords. I've seen others apparently made the same mistake on similar products. Probably should highlight this info.

I got a 2 pack of 3 meter cables. Both of them introduce so much loss that my new higher performance antenna was operating worse than the old one with a directly attached cable. I tested the higher performance antenna without the 3 meters of cable and found that the SNR was ~6.5 while the RSSI was around -50. With the addiction of the 3 meters of cable my SNR dropped to around 5.5-6 and the RSSI was about -65.

OK so I am no PRO ham/radio operator.. What I am is a tinkerer of electronics/computers/etc - I have like the most basic radio around and the most "popular" UV-5R - very basic, entry level kinda deal..Why I bought the cable is Because I wanted to toy around with the idea of moving the main antenna away from body of radio (think tactical radios with Antenna over a shoulder/etc) --So I needed a cable - multiple lengths are available but I was like "well.. better to long then to short"so I got this one - it works good with all 3 antennas I have for the Baofang radio.Being able to move the antenna a bit "seems" to have helped in some signal issues - when I move the radio to close to some of my other devices that give off high EMI (Computer monitor / computer / florescent light bulbs / etc) those devices sometimes cause a bit of static Ive noticed - its not a "major" static noise just minor. moving the antenna AWAY from those devices does clear up signal..I only really needed 1 length for my "idea" but it was technically easier to just get 2 in 1 bag and call it good. So yeah its good cable - does what I want - I even got some 90 degree angled SMA female to SMA male connectors to allow for the cable to come off at 90 degree angle so I can route the cable around and up and not worry about cable snagging cause its sticking up and out.Eventually ill probably buy shorter versions of said cable - or get into "making" my own cables (seems building your own antenna stuff is big in HAM/Shortwave worlds) anyway this suits multiple project ideas I have - just need more funding to buy more stuff to build out some cool ideas..

These needed to be treated gently because the heat shrink is not glued and the connector will come apart easily. I was able to reassemble mine and add my own heat shrink with glue, you can see the shiny bit. Probably should have doubled it up.I will probably rip apart the second cable and reassemble it this way. The connector is crimped from the factory, it is not getting a good grip on the rubber.

Verizon's extender comes with a 20-25 ft gps antenna wire. I needed 45 ft to reach a window that had better exposure to the open sky so signals from more gps satellites could be received. (Trees had been blocking signals from the first closer window I tried). I connected 4 lengths of this wire so I could bury the wires between the floor's coving and rug to make it look neat. Worked perfectly. Four bars!

They do exactly what I needed them to do. Had no issues with them.
