HPE JW068A 1m N-Male to N-Male Outdoor RF Antenna Cable
Overview
The HPE JW068A is a 1-meter (3.28 ft) flexible RF antenna cable terminated with N-Male connectors on both ends, rated for outdoor installation. Designed for HPE and Aruba wireless networking deployments where an external antenna must be routed or offset from the access point or antenna port — a common requirement when mounting antennas on building exteriors, poles, or in RF-sensitive enclosures where direct connection is not practical. The JW068A keeps the signal path short to minimize insertion loss, which matters on RF links where every fraction of a dB counts.
Compatibility
Designed for use with HPE and Aruba wireless infrastructure equipment that exposes N-type antenna ports, including Aruba outdoor access points and antenna systems that accept N-Male RF connectors. Verify your access point or antenna port accepts an N-Male connector before ordering — some HPE/Aruba models use RP-SMA or other connector types that this cable will not mate with. This cable is not a universal adapter; it is a same-type male-to-male extension intended for antenna-to-device runs where both endpoints carry N-type female jacks.
Installation Notes
The outdoor-rated jacket handles UV exposure and moisture, making it suitable for exposed exterior cable runs without additional weatherproofing on the cable body itself — though connector endpoints should be weatherproofed at the install point per standard RF outdoor practice. At 1 meter, this cable is suited for short offset runs; for longer distances between antenna and radio, consider a higher-gauge or lower-loss coax in the same connector family to keep RF signal degradation within acceptable limits. Country of origin: China. Covered under HPE's limited 1-year manufacturer warranty.
