RP-TNC - SMA for a Cisco Omnidirectional antenna.

[ambro]

Hello,

I was able to pick up two of these Cisco Omnidirectional dipole antenna's for free:

I was curious if anyone could recommend a RP-TNC to SMA adapter or perhaps an alternative method of connecting these to the Mark V pineapple.

Thank you in advance for any advise in this area.

You may need a custom cable. All I'm seeing are RP-TNC to RP-SMA adapters. Perhaps one of those plus an RP-SMA to SMA will do it. I forget how much impedance each adapter creates but it shouldn't be too bad.

This is close, you may want to check that site for exactly what you need:

Good luck,

Usually half a db per connection.

Pretty sure this is what you need.
