pigtails in Canada

XtWifi · 06-16-2003

I thought i had found a place in Canada to make me a mmcx to N male pigtail and after two months of jerking me around, the guy tells me today, they cant just make one cable.

Does anyone know of a place in Canada that makes this type of pigtail at a reasonable price?

Plz dont say MRO Electronics,as they did a fine job at pissing me off.

Does it have to be in CA???

Try: www.fab-corp.com

They can make anysize/connector cable you need.
They have great prices (Stumbler Discount) and
ship via UPS, so you'll have your order in 3-5 Days.

/end shameless plug

Have you tried www.superpass.com, they might have them.

thanks for the input
Madhadder,,it doesnt have to be in Canada, and I have checked Fabcorp,,,but it looks like it will cost me $25US for the shipping alone....I am trying to confirm the price

Did you remove the comma before the final / in the link provided?

I did and I'm seeing the site fine.

fwiw, they don't have much. I hate to say it due to the atrocious shipping rates to Canada (as is the case with most US retailers, it appears), but fab-corp is probably the best bet.

thanks for pointing that out c-mag,,,,, I didnt even clue into the comma being there.......

kinda looks like fab-corp might be, my only choice.

Have you tried eBay? Prices have come down as competition has increased, and some sellers have no problem shipping to Canada.

What area are you in ?

You can try this, item five.

I have a spare 12" I can sell you for $20.00 plus shipping if interested. I would assume shipping would be $5.00 to $10.00 through the post office and be there in around 8 days. PM me if interested.

I ordered 2 * 12" and 2 * 36" from MRO with no problems. Supposed to be delivered monday. I'll report what I find.

c-mag: Great link

XtWifi · 06-20-2003

But the key question,,,do these pigtails have a mmcx end on them....That is the problem, I was having with them.

XtWifi · 06-20-2003

I'll second that C-mag,,great link...
ACC in Calgary is getting me a quote on the cable,,their other cables are around the 20 buck mark, so hopefully my requested cable will be around same.

Novilio posted in the Antenna FAQ, the part number for the Orinoco side of the Pigtails (http://forums.netstumbler.com/showth...&threadid=5264)

I gave them that part number and there was no doubt which connector it was. If you ask for an MMCX, or other you might get something wierd.

Again, I have'nt recieved these yet, but if they are decent, I'll get MRO to SKU up the 12" pigtails so folks from Canada can get them easily.

I really like ordering from FAB-CORP, but the shipping and exchange are just killing me. So a local supplier for easily breakable parts makes my life easier (and cheaper)
