Ltap Lte6 external antena pigtails

Sat Jun 07, 2025 6:01 pm

Hey, maybe someone can help...

MikroTik LtAP LTE6
There is an idea connect Mant external antena to it. Do i need a pigtail with SMA female to U.FL male? Can you confirm which exact type I should buy?
Regular ACSMAUFL pigtails don’t snap in — the socket on the board is deep and u.fl is female.
So now i dont know what exact pigtails to buy.
Thanks.

There are 2 of them, so are they used for LTE or something else like wifi? Or I need to disconnect internal antena to use external antena?

The connector on the board in the image is not ufl, it is mmcx, see:

Mikrotik sells a pigtail (for Basebox) that should do (but it has to be checked, maybe it is too long:

The connectors are for Wi-FI external antennas.

So for external lte, there is only one option to unplug internal antena?

The MMCX in photo are 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi.
So for external lte, there is only one option to unplug internal antena?
Correct. You connect the U.FL pigtails directly to modem. So there is no switch between internal/external possible with LTE on LtAP.
