Need 25 foot extension to my current FlightAware PiAware Cable RFC KSR240 SMA Male to N Male RF coaxial cable 50ohm

I need 25 foot extension to my current 25 foot FlightAware PiAware Cable RFC KSR240 SMA Male to N Male RF coaxial cable 50ohm.

Can I purchase additional cable and use some type of connector to join the cable. I’m trying to mount my antenna higher on the roof.

Thanks!

Just get a 25’ SMA female to SMA male cable, like the one below:

This will work, but remember the SMA connectors are not waterproof.

You could use Self-amalgamating tape to waterproof the join.

You could also run a new cable end-to-end and avoid the join, but given you’ve used good quality cable, there is the price to consider.
