Patch Leads

A patch lead is short adapter cable (usually 50cm) enabling connection of an antenna to a wireless modem, router or mobile phone. One end has an FME Male or SMA Female connector which mates with the connector found on most cellular antenna cables. The other end has a small (usually push-on) connector to fit a particular model wireless modem or mobile phone with the exception of inductive types (for modems and phone without antenna connectors) which simply stick on by Velco or double sided tape. Therefore selection is based on the model number of the modem or phone. Use our "Selecting patch lead for Telstra, Optus and other carriers" in the Guides Menu located on the top menu bar. Check out the Selecting a 3G/4G Antenna page for information about selecting a mobile phone or wireless modem antenna.
