Hi Ben,

Two things come to mind:

First, I'd like to put 2+ NICs close together in the same chassis.
Would be nice if they were as isolated from each other as possible
so that each NIC could work independently of the other (once I can
get to SMA connectors, there are > 90db shielded cable options,
but of course it could just go to antenna where it all mixes again
anyway).

Second:  If one wants to use an attenuator and coax cables to connect
AP and Station systems together, the AP and Station need to NOT also
be transmitting through the air.  Anything I can do to keep that
over-the-air communication minimal should help.

Truth is, I'm not sure how much it really matters, but after a few weeks

To be quite honest, if I were doing this, I'd be making a custom
chassis that had shielded partitions to house the NICs and probably
use something like this to get signal to the NICs:

But this would be getting towards the construction of some serious
test equipment.

What are you trying to achieve here?

Thanks,
