cell phone booster connections

[user 15857]

I bought the weBoost Drive Sleek 470135 Cell Booster and want to add the directional antenna as shown on videos and here on the forum.  Are the antenna and cable to be 50 ohm or 75 ohm?  And it looks like I need a coax adapter connector: SMA female to SMB female.  Is that correct?  The booster is not integral to the cradle as shown on some of the videos, and it is a push and click connection, not a threaded one.  Appreciate your help,

This video says it all, even has the links for what you need under it.

I watched that one, but he has a different booster set up. The adapter connection he lists is for a threaded connection. My booster doesn’t have threads, it’s some sort of push to click connection.

Yes, they've redesigned the product so the main lump of electronics can be hidden out of sight. I guess the typical customer wanted the Sleek to look sleeker. I think you need what's called a quick-disconnect version of the connector.

The push connection is indeed called an SMB connection. Wilson at this time did not make a cable to go from the N-type to SMB so I ended up buying the cable Jim recommends and then getting an adapter

Thanks Redbearded that looks like what I need to make the connection. I'm sitting in camp typing this and using the booster albeit in my car, but now I know there is an AT&T signal. Looking forward to having connection in the trailer and inet again.
