      I am planning to connect a PyGate to a Barracuda OMB.915.B08F21 915MHz 8dBi Omni Antenna. However, I am not pretty sure about the coax and connectors. This is my choice, how do you think?

      LMR-400
      Length:1500 mm
      End1:RP-SMA JACK GOLD (Male Pin)
      End2:N Type PLUG NICKEL (Male Pin)
      Connector Angle Relationship:0° Clockwise

        What I could find, this antenna has a female N-type connector. Meaning you will need a N type male to either RP-SMA male (if you are using the pycom pigtail as well) or U.FL female pigtail. So your selection seems correct to me.

        I can understand why you are confused, as the RP-SMA male connector does not have a pin sticking out, but it does mate with the RP-SMA female pigtail connector.

        Best of luck,

          @Gijs Thanks a lot! Actually, I am also buying the pigtail sold by PyCom (U.FL to RP-SMA female). So it seems that my choice will work.
