Re: 5gz Cable
said by cmaenginsb  : If you're using mini-pci most likely it is the u fl pigtail to blame, the tolerances on those just suck, which is why I'm glad the new 400 mw radios have mmcx as an option. I'm not sure if you've seen it, or even participated, but there is a very long thread on this on the starOS board. After a lot of detailed testing, it has been concluded that it is not the U.FL connector that's the problem but the compatibility between the very small coax that must be used and the N-Type.
These pig tails use a different manufacturer's connector (not Hirose) which allows a larger coax to be used. Some people have seen up to 8dBm improvement at each end of the link by using these pig tails:

I have just received some U.FL to N-Type and have not tried them yet but they are certainly a lot more substantial than the ones I have been using to date.
HTH.
