Magnetic Mount Omni Mobile/Portable Antenna:  7.0 db 2.4GHZ

with RP-SMA connector & 1.5 meter cable (5 feet)

Bundled with an adapter (MC to RP-SMA) to connect to ORiNOCO card

for protection of card's antenna jack

Extension cables available (1 to 6 meters)

The purpose of combining the antenna with this adapter is to protect the MC jack on an ORiNOCO wireless card, against wear and damage. 

 

Orinoco, Buffalo (and related) wireless cards have an "MC" antenna jack which fits an MC connector, such as the MC connector on this adapter.  MC jacks and connectors are vulnerable to damage, because of  their small size, and so they need protection.  Every time the MC connector is removed from the jack, or plugged into the jack, a small amount of damage is caused to the jack and to the connector.

 

Any amount of pulling or tugging at a cable with an MC connector will cause damage to the jack and to the connector.   An MC connector will actually break after a lot of plugging in, pulling out, and the strain from the cable being tugged in day to day use.

 

The MC to RP-SMA adapter may be permanently attached to the wireless card, by use of

Velcro strips & "coins" (available in my eBay store), silicon bonding cement, or a cable tie.  You can then attach the antenna with an RP-SMA (female) connector - and you can remove and attach this connector as often as you wish without causing any damage.   Pulling & tugging on the cable, as occurs with ordinary usage, will no longer threaten or ruin your Orinoco card's jack.

 

The RP-SMA connector is about 5x larger than an MC connector (1 CM vs. 2mm, respectively).  Further, the RP-SMA connector is  threaded so that it has much, much higher resiliency against wear.

 

Other benefits: 

* Much less loss of gain with the RP-SMA because of the threaded connection and the lack of wear.

* Extension cable can be added or removed from the assembly, as needed (I offer a 10 ft. extension

cable in my eBay store).

 

The cable of this antenna and adapter is LMR100A, which is low-loss cable of much higher quality than the black pigtail cables, which are RG174.   LMR100A is about 5x the cost and quality of RG174. The higher

quality of the cable of this antenna translates into lower loss/better performance.
