SMA Antenna

Hi all, How can you tell if your antenna on your wireless is SMA or RP-SMA. Do particular brands have a particular type of Co-Axial RF connectors some going for SMA and some for Reverse Polarity SMA. If you have an inner thread is it SMA and outer thread its RP -SMA. Is there a standard on whether an antenna is always Male…

Hi all,

How can you tell if your antenna on your wireless is SMA or RP-SMA.
Do particular brands have a particular type of Co-Axial RF connectors some going for SMA and some for Reverse Polarity SMA.
If you have an inner thread is it SMA and outer thread its RP -SMA.
Is there a standard on whether an antenna is always Male or Female.
I was thinking of buying one of these
http://www.amazon.co.uk/NEWLink-Directional-Reverse-Antenna-N11510/dp/B001H0GGZ0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1264284043&sr=8-1-spell

But I don't know if it will fit a Buffalo and/or Zykel router.

Kind Regards
Hector

Generally APs have a RP-SMA male or a RP-TNC male connector.

If it has a pin and the thread on the outside of the connector it is a RP-SMA male or RP-TNC male.
