The kenable 1m Antenna Extension Cable is designed for home and office users looking to optimize their wireless network performance by relocating router antennas to a more central or unobstructed position. This cable effectively mitigates signal interference caused by physical obstacles like walls and furniture, offering a simple plug-and-play solution to enhance stability and connection speed. Please note that this cable is strictly for devices equipped with detachable RP-SMA antennas, and users should verify their specific router's connector type—such as ensuring it is not the RP-TNC standard—before installation.

This cable is specified for the 2.4-2.5GHz frequency range. While it may pass other frequencies, it is optimized for 2.4GHz performance.
It is not recommended. Each additional connection point and length of cable adds signal attenuation, which can negate any benefits of relocating the antenna.
Check your router's manual or the manufacturer's website. If the antenna unscrews to reveal a gold or silver post with a hole in the center (male side on the device), it is likely RP-SMA.
Yes, as a coaxial cable designed for signal transmission, it provides the necessary shielding to protect the signal from external interference.
Some Linksys routers use RP-TNC connections rather than RP-SMA. Please verify the specific connector type on your device before purchasing.
Ensure the antenna is placed in a high, open area and check that both ends of the cable are screwed on firmly.
Carefully tighten the threaded connector by hand; check if the RP-SMA threads on your router are damaged.
Verify that your antenna is fully compatible with the 2.4GHz band and check that the cable is not kinked or bent at a sharp angle.
To install, ensure your router is powered off. Locate the external antenna on your router or PCI card, verify that it unscrews to reveal an RP-SMA connector, and confirm it is not an RP-TNC connector (common on some older Linksys models). Screw the extension cable's female end onto your device and the male end into your original antenna. Hand-tighten the connectors to ensure a secure fit; avoid using pliers as over-tightening can damage the delicate threading. For maintenance, keep the cable away from sharp edges or heavy furniture that could pinch the wire, and ensure the connections remain dry and free of dust.
