But it will work with the XBee u.FL modules.</p>

The <a href="https://www.sparkfun.com/products/662" rel="nofollow">RP-SMA interface cable</a> would also work, but would require an external antenna with an RP-SMA connection.</p>

Is this the cable I need to connect my WiFly shield to an antenna like the black one in my PC's Wi-Fi card? Or do I need the other one sold here (WRL-00662)? Please, help.</p>

Seems ridiculous to have to buy a whole new cable if the connector goes bad.</p>

pop the battery cover off slip this in screw on the SMA and when your mother in law wont shut up you fiddle with the plug breaking up the reception and pull it :3</p>

According to the tutorial this cable has a old school female SMA. This is because there is no pin in the center of the connector and the threading is exposed. A female RP-SMA would still have the threading exposed but would have a pin in the center (lousy FCC).</p>

The photo and description do not match. In the photo, there is a U.FL plug (female tines) on one end and an SMA REVERSE POLARITY Female connector on the other. However, the description clearly believes that this is not the case. The linked datasheet agrees with the PHOTO, not the description (actually it is not entirely clear since it is a multipart number drawing).</p>
