Cable Options

Extreme Networks offers optional low-loss, indoor and outdoor cables. The indoor cables have a RP SMA-type connector. The outdoor cables are used to connect the indoor or outdoor access points to an outdoor antenna. The outdoor cables have a standard polarity type-N plug and type-N jack.

The antennas sold by Extreme Networks come with a LMR cable attached to the antenna. The best practice is to use the cable that comes with the antenna. If the distance between the antenna and the access point is longer, then use LMR cables produced by Extreme Networks.
