25cm SMA Female to IPEX1 RF Cable RG1.13

SMA and RP-SMA connectors are mechanically incompatible. Standard SMA has a male pin in the center of the plug and internal threads on the jack, while RP-SMA reverses this (female center hole on the plug, external threads). This cable has a standard SMA female connector (internal threads, female center hole). Always verify your antenna or device port matches this configuration. Most external antennas use SMA male, and many Wi-Fi routers use RP-SMA, so an adapter may be required.

Yes, this cable's specified frequency range of 0-6000MHz (6GHz) covers the sub-6GHz 5G bands (n1, n3, n78, etc.) and the entire 2.4GHz & 5GHz Wi-Fi spectrum, including the new 6GHz band for Wi-Fi 6E. The RG1.13 cable provides suitable performance for these applications with relatively low loss over its 25cm length, making it suitable for internal device routing in consumer and IoT products.

Installation requires a correctly sized hole (typically 6.5mm) in your device's panel or chassis. Insert the connector's threaded barrel through the hole from the outside. From the inside, secure it with the included hex nut (if provided) or a compatible SMA nut, tightening it with a wrench to ensure a solid mechanical and electrical ground connection. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the threads or cable.

The IPEX1 (u.FL) connector is a snap-on, friction-lock type. Align the connector's metal shell with the module's socket, ensuring the center pin is oriented correctly. Press down firmly until you hear or feel a distinct click, indicating it is fully seated. To disconnect, gently pull straight up on the connector's plastic body—never pull on the cable itself. These connectors are rated for a limited number of mating cycles, so minimize repeated connections.
