There wasn't one to look at. It is from Airlink, so don't expect it to
be very sexy.

I doubt Trendnet makes the protector. You may be able to find a similar
device now that you know what to look for. As far as I can tell, much
of what they supplied isn't useful, i.e. the threw in some cabling. In
an outdoor installation, you will be cutting the cable "to fit" out of
low loss cable with as few bends as possible. I'd use N connectors when
possible as they fit fat, low loss cable.
