They could have AT LEAST said what kind of connector was on the actual
can itself.
Hard to tell from the posted DRAWINGS (which are not as reliable as
PHOTOGRAPHS of the coax), its hard to tell the type of coax. Judging
by the drawing it appears to be curled up in a four inch circle and
likely to be LRM-100 (or equalvilant cable) with a .4 dB loss per foot.
LMR-195 or -200 (which have comparable loss, .19 dB vs .17 dB per
foot) will not curl up that tight
The 7 ft extension cable is listed as having a male Reverse SMA and a
female reverse SMA, but we don't know if that extension is to plug into
the supplied 3 ft. pigtail reverse SMA or into the can (reverse SMA?).
It appears to be LMR-195 or -200 as LMR-100 too lossy more than a foot
or two.
You could get a reverse SMA to Type N adapter to connect their can or
cable to your cable.
