The ANT-2x2-2005 (JW023A) are designed to be direct mount on the AP, the male N-connector on the antenna will fit in the female on the AP. The other antennas, that are intended to be connected through a cable have F, so a M-M cable is needed.
Also note that the AP574 has 6 connectors, so for direct mount you would need ANT-2x2-2005 and two sets of ANT-2x2-5005; unless you have other antennas for the 5GHz.
I'd recommend working with your HPE Aruba Networking partner, or local sales team, and use Iris as configuration tool (available to partners) to avoid the most basic mistakes and always ask while placing the order for a second opinion if what you order is indeed what you intend to order.

Subject: AP-CBL-1 (JW070A) RF cable
Hi,
The AP-CBL-1 (JW070A) is an N-type male to N-type female RF cable. The ordering guide for 570 series Access Points has the following comment in relation to this cable - "The AP-CBL-1 (JW070A) would only be used as an N connectorized extension cable, it will not connect an AP to an antenna by itself."
Considering the comment in the ordering guide, is there a reason why this cable alone could not be used to connect the AP-574 (which has N-type female connectors) to antenna JW023A (which has N-type male connector)?
Thanks!
