Answer
How long a cable can I use when adding a higher-gain antenna to my Access Point / Wireless router?
	Use as short a cable as possible--under 10 feet--or use good quality low-loss cable if you have to locate the antenna further away. Times Microwave has useful cable product information and a handy cable loss calculator, too.
