Have just bought the above modem with antenna!

 

The antenna cable is very short I need to extend, does anyone know of a source of TS9 male to TS9 female extension cables looking for about 2M max.

maplins, or online, have you checked whether it will need a power boost?

Why do you need an extension Charge the unit and move the dongle where ever you want it. We have one of these and providing its fully charged it can go with me including the car. And in the car I can put it on charge there as its connection is a mini usb which is exactly the same as HWMBO phone.

I have one with an external socket. Got my aerial from boaters phone company. While it worked, it was great, but the fitting was very loose, and constantly fell out. I stuffed it trying to tighten up the connection. Now my huawei is in for repairs :(

 

Oh, and it is the 586, but not the very latest

No you are quite correct it doesn't. Still don't understand the need to extend when its technically wireless,

 

Handy to have an aerial outside on the roof, improves reception and saves having to position mifi in a window and swapping sides at different locations. Ones with a socket are available.

It is the external antenna cable I wish to extend! Currently the unit is hanging in the cratch with the antenna on the roof, hardly ideal

 

E586 doesn't have an external aerial socket, unless the latest model has been updated but I doubt it.

 

Very sorry the unit is E586Es It does have a socket! I bought it with Antenna and its currently what I am using to post this! It would just be useful to extend the Antenna cable!

 

I have looked on the net, checked Maplins just hoped someone might be aware of a specialist supplier!

They must do different models then. Maybe the "E" is a clue. The one provided by 3 that I have does not have a socket

what you need is a SMA extension cable, like this

Yes you're right it does have a socket, Huawei used to do that model with what was often mistaken for an aerial socket, seens to be a new model, handy bit of kit.

Not thread nicking but is it any good?

This will probably do, ok it's 3 metres and comes connected to an aerial but at that price it doesn't matter.

 

Thanks for that ! I am pursuing this link as a friend is interested in my existing antenna (short cable is fine for his needs) and as well as the one you pointed out they have a higher gain version for about £16.00 with a goodly length of cable so all in all looks like a result.
