Hyperlink sells good stuff, I buy most of my cables from them. But also remember when they say 24db, thats the designed db gain of the antenna before anything is connected. Every connector, every foot of cable etc. caused db loss. All this must be calculated to come up with the actual gain you will get. 24db is alot, my primstar antenna is sending a signal apx 7 miles, but it cost me alot of $$ for high quality cables. The shorter the cable from the AP to the antenna the better. My AP is mounted outside on the mast in a water proof box. Only 3 feet of cable from AP to antenna.
