Subject: Any thoughts on how to best shield u.fl connectors on NICs?
Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2012 10:06:11 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <508EB783.9080000@candelatech.com> (raw)

It appears hard to get well-shielded u.fl (IPEX) to SMA pigtails, and all of the
modern ath9k NICs I've seen use u.fl connectors on the NIC.

I have found a vendor that will do double-shielded 1.32mm cable, and I have some of those
on order, but the way u.fl connectors are made it seems there is always a bit of un-shielded
cable where the connector is crimped onto the cable.

I am curious if anyone has any suggestions or experience with connecting u.fl NICs to
SMA cables in a highly shielded manner...

Thanks,
Ben
