I agree, that is likely the sort of thing Relish will install as the outside provision. Then, a Cat5e cable runs from that to the indoor router. The Relish router probably provides POE and standard firewall/NAT facilities.

I am still unclear as to whether the OP is replacing both the outdoor unit and the router with their own or whether Relish will still supply the external provision in which case the OP only needs a standard router not one that supports antennas and 3.5Ghz. I am starting to think that Relish will not actually be providing any of the users kit and that they have bought the internal and external equipment in which case they need to follow the guidance from the manufacturer of that kit as to what wiring is required.

Edit : What we really need to know is the make and model of the router and antenna that the OP has bought.

Edit 2: Actually it doesn't look like Relish do use that sort of dish. It appears the offering as a standard 4G router that sits inside the house hence the OP buying a new router that has an external antenna. But, as in previous edit without knowing what this is and what the specs are we are somewhat guessing about cabling - it may not be running the link over ethernet at all.

Relish is just a provider which offers 4G unlimited broadband in London mainly. They just send a router which picks up the 4G indoors, so no external antenna by default.

The performance of relish is not overly stable, some hours you get 50Mbps others you get 5Mbps or at least that's my experience of it. The average I seem to get around Knightsbridge at my friends is 15mbps but concerning the upload sometimes drops as low as 0.2Mbps!

It is quite popular around east London where plenty of users can only get 3Mbps on ADSL and they have very long unreliable lines.

As far as I can tell if you are in Relish area you should just be able to use the default provided router, I can't find any details on using your own router not even on forums. I think it will be a try it and see situation but I would personally just use the supplied router and then connect my own cable router to it. This way the relish box is really just acting as a receiver.

My postcode is SE16 which is NOT covered by them according to their site, however i have been looking at Relish for ages and even took a trial with them about 18 months ago but stock Gemtek router is bot good for me as signal is too low, i can hack the router without too much of an issue and fit an ext antenna, but got lucky and picked up a suitable router with ext ant so that side is sorted, when it workd for me it worked well but was up and down like a yo-yo so went ahead and bought new gear taking a punt working on the basis of it will be at LEAST a year before i an improve on my poxy 3-4 mbit, also i don't like paying BT for line rental when i get nothing in return

Your edit 2 describes the Relish kit used in Swindon, in London its a pure indoors solution

Your question though was around the cabling - so what router/antenna is it as that might help us advise. Otherwise the advice already given should be adequate to select some cabling.

OK to give some more info on this the router Relish give out is a Gemtek WLTFSR-115GN, and here is 2 images of the back of it, nothing else too see on the outside except apart from a few lights on the front

As you can see full size sim cad goes in antenna plus the cat5 cable and IMHO that should just be fed into the router and away i go I know of others who are not using the Gemtek router so can't see any issues myself but i'm far from an expert i'll admit that much.
