Is the cable detachable? For my use, I need a longer cable so should I order a dual RP-SMA (male to male) or an extender type (male to female)?

do not use long cable, wifi router better close to antenna as possible, wifi frequency decay a lot in this kind cable.

They should have other options, cause the cable can be detached. I don't know if the conector is standart.

The item shipped to me has a usb cable about 18 inches long. I would think an extender cable would work. Since the only purpose for the usb cable is to power the unit, there should only be two conductors inside it, but the insulation sheath hides that. The usb connector is nice in that it provides a female usb outlet so you don't lose a usb port when you plug in the monitor. If you're handy soldering you could almost certainly cut the cable and splice in any reasonable length of additional 2 conductor cable (just make sure you maintain the polarity).

Dear Tim, As we had discussed over the email that you had sent us, the USB extension cable is an active cable which amplifies the signal to allow connections over longer lengths. In general active cables work in a single direction. You may want to consider purchasing a passive USB cable for bidirectional support. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thank you, BlueRigger LLC service@bluerigger.com

If I remember correctly it's a butt connection. You slide in the bare cable, stripped back, and turn the screw to clamp it down. I'm using 1g cable and could have used a bigger one if I had wanted to... Clear as mud?

Here you go (if you haven't bought one already): MPD Digital smaF/pl259f SMA Female to UHF SO239 PL259 Female RG58 Adapter Cable, 3-feetExact setup that I have and it worked great (until it got taken out by a branch. Upgrading to a flexible antenna now).

No, that combo router has internal antennas. The router must have external antenna that's removable. For this RP-SMA cable to work, you would remove the stock antenna & attach this cable to your router. Then reinstall the a antenna on the other end of this cable. I hope this helps

Thanks Justin, I appreciate the feedback.Do you know if the cables are proprietary, meaning that you cannot use a longer cable?

I'm slightly confused. This is a female to make 30 pin extender with a micro usb on the side. So... If I underst correctly, this is not what you're looking for.

You should be able to use a vanilla DB-9 RS-232 extension cable, something like SF Cable, 15 ft DB9 M/F Serial Extension Cable RS232The extension cable needs male and female ends, should not be a 'null modem' cable, and should be good quality. Apart from that, nothing special should be needed.

Yes i bought cable extenders like 25ft. only 8 dollars a pc. had the male female end..

Hi Brian, Sorry not the expert however I do like the idea of a retractable cable. I use that for other electronics. Best!!!

Radio Shack has what you need. 1 problem though you need two different items. Item 1 Model: 278-011 Catalog #: 2780011 (I paid around $19.00 now their site has it down to $7.62) Item 2 SMA Male (both ends) I can't tell from the pictures on the website what the catalog number is but once you have Item 1 in your hands you will be able to understand what you need. I also ordered from amazon an all in one connector but it came from overseas I think from the sound of the seller and it took almost a month. If you're as impatient as I am, go to Radio Shack

The cable that comes with this is detatchable. As long as the cable you plan to replace it with ends in 3.5mm, you can replace it with whatever you like.

Yes, the antenna is detachable (it unscrews). I don't know the format (SMA, reverse polarity SMA, etc).

No reason at all. It's completely detachable. You could use two if you wanted. :-)

This has an male sma connector. I bought it and a buffalo airstation router (with removable antennas with sma connectors) and replaced one (which one matters) of the antennas from the router with this antenna. I put the airstation in AP mode which allowed me to create my home network at the campground and this antenna, pointed to the direction of the nearest free wifi signal, allowed me to pick up that network. By themselves my laptops and phones and iPads could not get signal from this distant network. However, the free network had a splash page that the router wouldn't forward. I used my iPad, close to the free network, to log in. I then set the router to spoof that MAC. Good luck This has an male sma connector.
