OptiPlex 7000 Tower - Wi-Fi Antenna
Several years ago, I purchased an OptiPlex 7000 Tower from the Dell Outlet, which didn't include a WLAN module or antenna. I now have the correct Intel AX211 WLAN module, but Dell’s documentation is lacking when it comes to finding part numbers for the internal and external antenna.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

is this the same or different from https://www.amazon.com/BestParts-Antenna-Replacement-Optiplex-7090MT/dp/B0C4T4L247
" I purchased the above part number, but it does not line up with the mounting points on the front of the chassis."
they look like each other on Amazon but not sure if one did not ship the correct part.

Hi
Hope this helps
For the Dell OptiPlex 7000 Tower, the official part number for the internal Wi-Fi antenna kit is:
VCDF2 — KIT, RCVR, ANT, INT, W/BRKT, D12, MT (for the Mini Tower chassis.
This is the recommended Dell part number for the internal antenna and bracket assembly used in the OptiPlex 7000 Tower (MT).

@anne_droid I really appreciate your taking the time to share the information with me. I'm attaching pictures showing the front of the chassis, with the antenna mount points circled in red. When I look at the pictures of where this particular antenna mounts to the chassis, they don't quite line up with the chassis mounting points of my OptiPlex 7000 Tower.

It took awhile to find it, but I believe this is the correct part number for the OptiPlex 7000 MT internal WLAN antenna cable.

@redxps630 Please forgive me for not giving you the credit for providing the correct answer. I deleted my post and will reply here with the comments and pics.
Here's the final result. Purchased the following parts from Amazon for the OptiPlex 7000 MT:
BestParts Wi-Fi Antenna Cable for DELL OptiPlex 7090MT 7080MT 7010MT 7000MT, Dell P/N: XMV1F 0XMV
Intel AX211 IEEE 802.11ax Bluetooth 5.3 Wi-Fi Bluetooth Combo Adapter
As shown in the photos, the OEM antenna is a works perfectly with the Intel AX211 and lines up great with the designated mounting points on the chassis. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their OptiPlex with reliable wireless capability!
