pigtail of Orinco silver card?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

I have an original Lucent Orinoco Silver Card with a plug for an external
antenna, and recently someone gave me a Belkin F5D6900 external antenna.

I am looking for a pigtail or an adaptor that will connect the two together.

I *think* the Orinoco card has a MC connector in it...correct?

I *think* Belkin F5D6900 antenna has a SMA RP Female connector....correct?

So I *think* I am looking for an adaptor or pigtail that has a Male MC to a
Male SMA RP....but very short ..the shortest as possible.

Does this make sense? Can anyone recommend a good place / site where I can
find such a cable? I have googled to death - some have what I am looking
for, but most don't. If anyone has any personal experience / first hand
recommendations - that would be great!!

Thanks.

They know that the Orinoco has an MC-Card connector.
They also know that a Belkin F5D6001 PCI Card has RP-SMA, so it would make
sense that the Belkin antenna has the corresponding connector... watch out
for polarities.
They have pictures on their web page, and they will make a different cable
if you need it.
