For the component without tape backing a non-conductive double sided adhesive tape can be used to fix the antenna in place. The Ethertronics part numbers listed above come with a 50mm U.FL cable attached to the PCB strip antenna. The 50mm cable length is the minimum allowed cable length for use with the xPico Wi-Fi embedded device server. For similar PCB strip antennas with longer cables consult with Ethertronics (www.ethertronics.com). Lantronix provides a U.FL to Reverse SMA antenna cable in with the evaluation board and sample kits for development work. These cables can be purchased from Lantronix for production or supplied by an RF cable manufacturer. External antennas can be purchased from the antenna vendor. Components for cable design should be selected for low loss over the entire 2.4Ghz to 5.9Ghz signal range. The cable target impedence should be 50 ohms.
