Hello Kristian, Those connectors are similar to what the Trango Apex uses that are too small for an armored outdoor CAT5 cable. It's a shame the product engineers some manufacturers use/have to design their products are so imperceptive of basic field requirements.
The inherited DragonWave AirPair radios that we're contemplating using on a job have the proprietary round DIN style plug attached to a custom DragonWave bundled cable. It looks like Hutton and Tessco have these custom cables in a variety of lengths, but what a pain in the tail! Thanks for the information. I've got some more reading to do before we decide on deploying these radios or just to punt them on EBay.

The good, bad and ugly. We have a few Horizon Compact links. They've done very well except for when we get weird high/low pressure systems that result in a layer of fog in our valley that sits at about ~150ft. The DW engineer called the effect ducting. We enabled AAM in an attempt to counter the affects, but the AAM code was apparently buggy in the version we had. So instead of stabilizing the link, it made it much, much worse. So make sure you get the latest firmware if you can. > We'll probably need new cable sets for each end as well, so to any > DragonWave vendors on the list please feel free to send me an email with > prices on cable length options. The Horizon Compact units have unfriendly ethernet connectors as well.
