need to repair MIMO Antenna (6000450) by replacing a TS-9 connector
I have a broken TS-9 connector on my MIMO antenna and would like to replace it. But I can't find any technical info on the antenna cabling to ensure I order the correct model.
Here's an example of a supplier with two different types for different cable diameters:

"RM" & "LMR" are two of the codes used to designate cable types and the # indicates the diameter. More info:

It does not appear to be a difficult operation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ADx01VUUyg) although I may need a coax stripper.
Where can I find technical info on my antenna that indicates the cabling type so I can get the correct TS-9 connector? Alternatively, does Netgear sell parts? They should because these TS-9 connectors are fragile.

Is this a weird question? I thought it was kinda standard.
- JoeDiverAspirantI'm hoping someone will answer this too. It seems like a simple process and the one on the antenna is not very well built. I'd like to make a more solid connection
There is nothing "Netgear" about this sort of problem. The same appraoch will apply to anything that has an antenna that needs fixing.
Have you tried a wider search? YouTube has all sorts of "how to mend it" videos.
