Generic 25cm RG178 IPEX1 to SMA Female RF Cable 11mm

Description

This 25cm RG178 RF pigtail cable serves as a critical interface adapter for wireless hardware development and system integration. It bridges the gap between the ultra-compact, board-level u.FL (IPEX1) connectors commonly found on Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular modules and the more robust, panel-mountable SMA connector standard used by many external antennas.

The cable is engineered with 50-ohm impedance-matched RG178 coaxial construction to maintain signal integrity and minimize insertion loss across common IoT frequency bands. The SMA female end allows for secure attachment to a male SMA antenna connector, with the option to mount the connector itself through a chassis panel for a clean, professional installation. This solution is indispensable for prototyping and final product builds where external antenna placement is required for optimal RF performance.
