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.

I'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.

Sorry Mike,

 

but that's not helpful.  I actually put a link to just the sort of resource you mentioned in my original post.  And I think I was quite clear that I need to know the cabling Netgear uses on the antenna so that I purchase the correct type of TS-9 connector - they vary in size to accommodate the various sizes of coax cabling.
