What size wifi antenna connector on the cMP? BCM94360HMB

Does anyone know what size or type the wifi antenna connectors are on the Mac Pro 2010? I'm referring to the connector type on the three antennas that are connected to the AirPort Extreme Mini PCIe card. I'm investigating swapping out the AirPort Extreme card for a BCM94360HMB Azurewave AW-CB160H, I believe the connectors on the AW-CB160H are MHF4. Is the AW-CB160H compatible?

Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

I am not certain what connector Apple use, first have a look at the following to see details of the different types of connector.

I believe that Apple do indeed us the MHF4, see https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Apple_MacBook_Air_13%22_(Mid_2013,_A1466)


Therefore if your card uses MHF4 connectors it should in theory be able to use the internal antenna leads fitted in the Mac Pro.


If you want the best i.e. fastest and 100% compatible WiFi upgrade option for a classic Mac Pro then OSXWiFi is the best choice. See http://www.osxwifi.com/apple-broadcom-bcm94360cd-802-11-a-b-g-n-ac-bluetooth-4-0 -with-adapter-for-macpro-2009-and-macpro…
