My roof wiring involved bringing separate cable groups into the van through a planned entry route. This antenna-cable purchase belongs to the same broader problem of matching connector ends and leaving a practical route between devices.
I bought Superbat SMA Cable and Adapter Kit as part of my camper van equipment.

Where it fits my build
On Day 104 I pulled the roof wiring through the PVC route with fish tape and brought the cable groups into the van. I fitted plastic trim around the roof opening where the wires passed through.
I also finished the remaining light-wire connections, fitted the junction-box covers, joined the remaining PVC sections and tightened the metal ties around the route.

My build notes
This stage pulled together several earlier sessions of drilling boxes, fitting glands and arranging the roof hardware. The final cable entry was the point where all those separate roof routes met.
My notes show how much of the work was physical organization: pulling cables, keeping entry points accessible and closing boxes after the connections were finished.
The route into the van was a layout problem as much as a wiring task.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
The second Superbat kit uses RG58 cable and five adapters. The Proxicast alternative is a fifteen-foot CFD240 extension, making cable construction, length and the need for adapters the main differences.
Superbat RG58 Cable and Five-Adapter Kit
This Superbat kit includes a ten-foot RG58 cable with SMA male and female ends. Five coaxial adapters accompany the cable.
This Proxicast extension uses CFD240 coaxial cable with SMA male and female connectors. Its fifteen-foot length offers another routing option for antenna equipment.
