Re: Cable, Connectors, Etc

Vetco surplus in Belleview has a good selection of coax connectors. WIFI 
Connectors are not standardized. The most common antenna connector is type 
N.   Radio Card connectors are dependent on the Mfg. Common ones are MC 
card connectors {orinoco], mmcx [Cisco, Senao, Intel }, rpsma, ETC. Your 
best bet is to go to http://www.hyperlinktech.com/ and look at their list 
of pigtails. They list them by card mfg. and state the types of connector. 
Until recently The FCC required "not common connectors" to discourage using 
combinations of  radios and antenna etc. that were not FCC certified. The 
companies doing the certification tests used What was called the Radio 
Shack test. to comply. IE if It wasn't available at RS it would be in 
compliance with the rule. Another consideration is that they needed to be 
small and have low loss at the operating frequency. Until recently a 
retailer might take 5 years to sell 10 rpsma connectors. so they don't 
stock them.
