Garmin 15L Connector

dug1967 · 11-15-2005, 08:41 AM

After searching through the board, I see several pictures where people have a cable running from their 15L to the edge of their cases with a connector on the case end for the antenna.

Where are you finding them? Googling isn't yeilding much, but I suck at Googling correctly.....

Anyhow as you might know, the 15L accepts a MCX Male and the antenna I have terminates in a FME (male).... so I would like to find a 1 ft. (or less preferably) with MCX Male by FME Female.

Any ideas?

Google on pigtail.

Thanks William, that was helpful... Pigtail was the important word... I looked at a bunch of site through Google and found a lot that where close, had the MCX male end (15L), but nothing with a FME female (I think) end for the antenna.

Ended up asking jefatech.com for a quote on a custome one.... See what they come back with.

Anybody out there actually found one that works for the Garmin 15L to the MicroMouse antenna?

Thanks

Can't you just mount the gps engine in the case where you can plug the MCX cable from the antenna into the engine?

I could but that would be too easy..... no for real, that is not an option at this point. If I planed ahead, yes I could have done that, but now it is not an option.

Okay, I have seen pictures here of pigtails on the Garmin 15L..... does anybody know where one can be purchased????

Now you must terminate yourself.

Thanks, but not what I need. That is the data cable and I already have that. I need a short patch cable from the antenna connector on the 15L that provides a female FMC connector for the antenna.

you'll need to make a cable with a male and female MCX connector at seperate ends. I don't think they sell soemthing like that. Your best bet is to extend the wired part and mount the engine in a better place.

OKay, this is what I am talking about... from jcdillin's setup.... the white cable in the picture...
