Adaptor cable for desktop modem

[JustinB]

Hi

When I joined iBurst, i sourced a used modem that worked, but had been seriously abused. Up until now this hadn't been an issue, but on Monday I suddenly had no connection due to no signal, which turned out to be a result of a really dodgy soldering job on the cable connecting the modem to my external antenna.

I've temporarily fixed the problem, but I think its best for me to replace this cable with a professionally made one. I found this on Poynting's site, it looks like what I need, can somebody confirm this?

That appears to be the correct cable (pigtail).

Yip that's the right cable. The older pigtail cables used to be crappy, and could break easily with lots of connecting / disconnecting. The new one's come with that grey plastic piece, which allows you to disconnect the cable without damaging anything.

I hope that "soldering job" didn't solder the pigtail to the modem, and was just a job to fix the cable itself...

Nah its just like midway on the cable that it was soldered, the rest of it is ok...

poynting seems expensive though!
