Yes it was a Remec ODU.
My point was though that many adapters are available. It’s not worst case. Just that the antenna interface itself is proprietary. And depending on where you get the adapter, it may very well cost as much if not more than a 1ft/2ft antenna (also depending on who/where you get it). Adapters IMHO for 1ft/2ft antennas are not worth it unless it is to retrofit an existing installation where you don’t have climbers that can path a link or where your using contractors (since you have to pay by the hour). Also be cautious that an adapter may not work with an OMT or Coupler. Make sure to ask.

DragonWave. The interface designs are proprietary by every manufacturer. The only reason Remec became a standard was that Remec ODU’s were used by so many manufacturers for a few years. Remec basically gave away their design. This is how manufacturers protect antenna sales (distributors could buy Remec antennas direct from the manufacturers, other OEM’s do not allow the antenna manufacturers to sell the antennas to anyone but the OEM typically). Many manufacturers have adapters from one brand to another, and worst case you could always get a remote mount kit and convert to waveguide (although with a 2ft antenna your better buying a new antenna).
