For 2.4GHz, the quality of the coax cable and the type of connectors
are both different from cable TV.  You can buy radio jumpers at some of
the places mentioned on the list.  Shorter jumpers are best.  You will
need an RP-SMA connector on the radio end of the jumper.  The other end
depends on your antenna, but it is usually an N male connector.
