Hirose U.Fl - Female RSMA "pigtails" Blue Streak 03-17-08

Hello,

I am looking to modify a couple WLAN (PCMCIA - type 2) cards and
attach an external antenna. They both have a Hirose U.Fl connector
on the circuit board. So, I need a "pigtail" that has a Hirose U.Fl
on one end and a female RSMA on the other.

The only place I can find sells such cables has them 12" long. I
only need them 2" or shorter. Does anyone know where I could purchase
such a cable within North America?

TIA...

Well, maybe not in N.A., but have you looked at the obvious?:

A few shorter than 12".

Could you buy some tooling and connectors? Perhaps buying U.FL double-ended
cables and cutting them in half to terminate them with RP-SMA may be cost
effective.
