Need antenna connector and cable for AC5300 Router

[GeorgeRace]

I have a AC5300 router that had a loose antenna connector. It has been rotating and in the process the very small cable was broken off at the connector.
It is a crimp connector and cannot be repaired.

Does anyone know where I can get one of those small cables, antenna connector on one end, snap on circuit board connector on the other end. Length approximately 3 inches, overall.

A new one or one salvaged from an out of service one would be great.
Thanks,
George

What is the make and model number of the router? Is it the ASUS RT-AC5300? If so, is it one of these connectors?

EDIT: If it is the Asus then according to wikidevi it is a U.FL to RP-SMA pigtail connector. So you'll need something like this.

Thanks for the info.
Found them at Digi-Key, exact replacement: Digi-Key Part Number: 080-0001 RP-SMA BulkHead - $6.38 each.
Have a couple of them on the way.
Thanks,
George

Common issue with early units - before making any mods, check with Asus customer care team... they'll likely swap you out for a replacement unit...
