freedonX Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Bought several used Dell Optiplex 5070 for my office. Hadn't realized these small awesome machines have a m.2 card with wifi+ bluetooth. So fast forward and bought more Optiplex, however these didn't come with the m.2 card nor the cables/antennas. In my ignorance bought a m.2 card, but of course missed that I need the cables/antennas as well (like picture #2 and #3). Where could I buy these? I don't want to buy a PCI X card with the antennas sticking outside the case. Having a m.2 with the cables saves space and is much more visually attractive.

goretsky Supervisor Posted April 17, 2023 Supervisor Share Posted April 17, 2023 Hello, I did a bit of searching for "Dell Optiplex 5070 replacement antenna" and while I got a lot of results for sale on Amazon, eBay, etc., I could not tell if they were exact matches because none of the photos were of the antennas installed in the chassis as shown in your photograph. You might want to try repeating that search and seeing if you are able to perform a positive identification. Failing that, I would suggest asking in Dell's own support forum.

I was only searching antennas for the m.2 I bought. THanks! Not as cheap as I thought (the m.2 cost more or less that). Nor the shipping is cheap! That PCI-e option is looking like a better option Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1428053-what-are-these-cablesantennas-i-need-for-my-m2-wifibluetooth-on-my-dell-optiplex/#findComment-598814081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
