Description

This IPEX1 to SMA Female pigtail cable is a critical RF interconnect for IoT and wireless development. It bridges the gap between the miniature IPEX1 (U.FL) connectors found on most compact Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, and GNSS modules and the industry-standard SMA female ports used on external antennas. The cable utilizes RG1.13 coaxial construction, offering a balance of flexibility and controlled impedance (typically 50Ω) to maintain signal integrity with minimal insertion loss.

The 5cm length and 11mm connector profile are engineered for tight integration within device enclosures, routing cleanly from a module’s board-edge IPEX1 port to an antenna mounted on a panel or case. This direct connection ensures maximum RF power transfer from your transceiver to the antenna, which is essential for achieving the advertised range and link reliability in final applications.

Key Features

  • Direct interface between IPEX1 (U.FL) module ports and SMA female antenna connectors.
  • RG1.13 coaxial cable provides excellent flexibility for routing in tight spaces.
  • 50-ohm impedance matching ensures minimal signal reflection and maximum power transfer.
  • Compact 5cm length is perfect for short-run connections within device enclosures.
  • Gold-plated contacts on connectors enhance conductivity and resist corrosion.
  • Enables performance testing with different external antennas for optimal system tuning.

Applications

  • Connecting external antennas to ESP32, ESP8266, nRF52, or SIMCom cellular development boards.
  • Extending the range of compact Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth beacons, or GPS trackers.
  • Providing an antenna port for 4G LTE or NB-IoT modules in industrial IoT gateways.
  • Facilitating antenna testing and swapping during wireless system development and optimization.

Frequently Asked Questions

What modules is this IPEX1 to SMA cable compatible with?

This cable is directly compatible with any wireless module featuring an IPEX1 (U.FL) antenna port, including common ESP32/ESP8266 Wi-Fi boards, nRF52 BLE modules, SIM7000/SIM7600 4G modules, and u-blox GPS receivers. The SMA female end connects to a wide range of external antennas with SMA male connectors, such as 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi antennas or 4G/LTE panel antennas.

How do I properly install this cable on my development board?

First, ensure your module is powered off. Gently press the IPEX1 connector straight down onto the module's mating port until you hear/feel a faint click, indicating it is securely seated. Avoid bending the cable sharply at the connector. Route the 5cm cable to your enclosure's antenna mount and screw the SMA female connector onto your antenna's SMA male plug. Hand-tighten only; over-tightening can damage the threads.

Is the RG1.13 cable suitable for 5GHz Wi-Fi or 5G cellular frequencies?

Yes, the RG1.13 coaxial cable is rated for frequencies up to 6 GHz, making it suitable for 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi, 4G LTE bands, and sub-6GHz 5G NR frequencies. Its 50-ohm impedance matches standard RF systems, ensuring minimal signal loss. For optimal performance at higher frequencies, keep the cable run as short as possible, as this 5cm length is ideal.
