The Mag-mount antennas (for vehicles or kiosks) can be attached to CradlePoint as shipped 
with 12.5 feet of cable and the correct SMA male connector.
Low loss coax cable with the N Male to SMA Male connectors OR an N Male to SMA Male 
adapter is REQUIRED to attach the outdoor mount antennas to CradlePoint
CradlePoint recommends JefaTech LL400-Flex cable with N Male, SMA Male connectors (Not 
sold by CradlePoint).  CradlePoint has tested and certified 20 and 50 foot cables from 
JefaTech.

Loss is approximately 6 dB per 100 
feet of cable (3 dB per 50 feet, 1 dB per 20 feet).
For orders of 500+ units CradlePoint may be able to source cable at competitive prices.
CradlePoint recommends using cable clamps or other cable holding mechanism to secure 
low loss cable against the wall or pole. At least two clamps are recommended on the cable 
near the CradlePoint router. This construction helps reducing stress on cable/modem 
connector and increases product reliability.  Jefatech provides a ½” cable clamp:

Extra care must be taken while attaching the cable to the modem. Be careful not to over-
torque the SMA connector on the modem.  
Finger tight is sufficient and the maximum 
torque spec is 7kgf-cm.” 
 
Lightning Protection 
is also suggested (ensure you have correct connections)

If you don’t require a length of cable an 
N Male to SMA Male adapter
 can be purchased.  JefatTech offers 
one:

.  The outdoor antennas only come with about 8 inches 
of cable.
