    I'd like to install an Intel 6300. Is the "MIMO WLAN" antenna suitable for the 6300's third antenna? From what I can understand, it is. I'd like to double check, though.

    EDIT: Changed after further research

    I don't know if it's the MIMO WLAN antenna specifically (I didn't know Dell started labeling the individual wires?), but at the very least, the SXL16 should definitely have enough antenna cables for a 3x3 card. You should be fine with that swap.
