Yeah, that would be a nicer cable. Honestly I'm afraid of popping the connector off the UBNT ones when I have to bend it so sharply. It must have been another tradeoff since the area between the rocket and the connector on the antenna is so small, you probably couldnt bend a much thicker cable in such a tight loop.
