If you plan to purchase an upgraded antenna you want to pair the new antenna with an appropriately shielded cable. The cable shielding reduces signal gain loss between your antenna and your Helium hotspot.  As the length of your cable increases so does your gain loss. For lengths up to and including 20 ft. we recommend 200 or 240 grade shielding. For lengths above 20 ft. we suggest 400 grade, and if you're needing a cable over 60ft. the 600 grade is ideal. For more cable questions or for a custom cable quote reach out to us in the live chat or at sales@rokland.com
