About This Device
The link between a 5G wideband adapter and the network it serves deserves better than whatever patch cable is left in the drawer. The Cradlepoint 170725-000 is the factory Ethernet cable for the W1850 wideband adapter — RJ45 connectors on both ends, 1.5 meters (4.92 ft) of length, black jacket — the exact lead Cradlepoint pairs with the platform.
In a typical W1850 deployment, the adapter mounts high or near a window for signal, and this cable carries the connection down to the branch router, SD-WAN edge or firewall WAN port. The 1.5 m length matches that geometry: enough to span shelf-to-rack or wall-to-cabinet distances, short enough to dress cleanly without coiled slack. The black jacket disappears against racks and cable trays.
Why stock the factory part instead of generic patch cables? Consistency and accountability. Every W1850 site gets the same documented lead; replacements are ordered by MPN rather than description; and troubleshooting eliminates cable variables quickly because the part is known-good and consistent across the estate. At an approximate 0.01 lb, it also costs nothing to keep several in every field kit.
With healthy distributor stock, this is an easy line item to add to W1850 orders and spares packages alike. Genuine Cradlepoint accessory, MPN 170725-000, UPC 840292712539, listed for the Cradlepoint W1850 wireless router/wideband adapter.
