Robert, Members have provided valuable comments including the excellent interpretation of the rule from Dennis. I have submitted many Zigbee applications with reverse polarity SMA connectors to the FCC and TCB. They were granted, including three applications being granted by the FCC this year. If you don't feel comfortable with the connector you choose, I suggest you send your first application to the FCC if your marketing colleagues can wait for four weeks. With regards, Grace

Or, use left-handed SMA connector. What? Does it take a license to buy a left handed SMA connector now? Anyway, is it acceptible to use a regular SMA connector and then loctite it down, or RTV it down, or such? Or, place a "warrantee void if seal broken" label on it? Recommendations out there?
