Enclosure for four (4) antennas?

Tue Jun 03, 2014 5:32 pm

I was considering buying an RB912 along with the R11e radio card. This optimum configuration would require four antennas, but the only case I see on RouterBoard.com that fits this model with the daughterboard is the CA411-711 and it only has three (3) holes for antennas.

How is everyone else doing this kind of setup where you would like to have four (4) "rubber-duck" antennas attached to a single enclosure?

Once I get my M3D Printer in December, I can easily make my own enclosures! LOL

Buy a basebox2/5 with an extra mini-pci-express card and pigtails.
This way you have 4 or 5 antenna holes (RP-SMA).

That works! Nice recommendation, thanks!

It's a bit large for indoor use, and having to use the PoE pigtail will be unsightly, but I think it's workable.

Maybe in the future Mikrotik can offer the CA411-711 with an extra hole & grommet for that 4th antenna? ;-)
