MMCX or RP-MMCX...help!

franktank232 · 04-20-2004

My question is simple. Does my card the DWL-650(VERSION L2) with the ADMtek chipset have a MMCX or an RP-MMCX? My eyes are bugging out looking at this thing. I'm wanting to buy an omnidirectional antenna with the approiate jack. I've searched the web everywhere (i think). I'm thinking if the tiny prong in the middle is solid its MMCX and if it has a hole it is RP-MMCX or am i just totally wrong? thank you very much.

Well, I tried on Google with "DWL-650 Connector"...

And the first link is: http://c0rtex.com/~will/antenna/

Use a normal MMCX....

Hope you didn't spend your money yet. The late-style DWL-650 does not have an MMCX connector on the board, it's a Hirose u-FL. Here's a pic(hi-res warning!)

Actually, the Pic of the card I saw, Didn't have any Ext. Antt. Port.

Only a place to solder one on... See Pic

Right, but that's the early style DWL650, its replacement is the one I linked to. I hate it when manufacturers switch designs and call it the same thing (are you listening Proxim?)
