Cradlepoint 170765-000 Cellular Antenna SMA White Mini

Overview

The Cradlepoint 170765-000 is a compact external cellular antenna designed for broadband and LTE connectivity on mobile routers and edge gateways. Operating across 600 MHz to 6 GHz, this mini form factor antenna delivers reliable signal coupling where internal antennas fall short—particularly in vehicle-mounted or enclosure-based deployments. The 145mm (5.7-inch) length balances coverage gain against mounting constraints typical in compact gateway and router installations.

Compatibility

This antenna integrates directly with Cradlepoint CBA550 series and L950 Series cellular routers via SMA direct-attach connector. The SMA connector type is standard across Cradlepoint mobile broadband platforms, allowing straightforward field swaps without adapters. Verify your specific gateway or router model before purchase—SMA compatibility does not guarantee fit on all Cradlepoint systems.

Installation Notes

Maximum installation torque is 4 in-lbs—do not over-tighten the SMA connector, as excess force will damage the mating connector interface. Mount on antenna masts, vehicle roof racks, or enclosure panels using standard coaxial cable grounding practices. The white finish resists UV degradation on outdoor vehicle installations. No additional tools beyond a standard wrench or antenna installation tool are required.
