Description

This IPEX1 to SMA Female RF pigtail cable is engineered for high-frequency signal integrity in compact wireless designs. The RG1.13 coaxial construction features precise impedance matching (typically 50Ω) to minimize VSWR and signal attenuation, ensuring optimal RF performance for your Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular module. The 25cm length provides necessary flexibility for routing within device enclosures while maintaining a short, efficient path to the external antenna.

The IPEX1 (U.FL) connector is a industry-standard miniature coaxial interface used on most compact wireless modules, such as ESP32, nRF52, and Quectel/SIMCom cellular boards. The SMA female connector offers a robust, threaded interface for connecting to a vast array of external antennas with SMA male plugs. This cable is a fundamental component for system integrators and developers needing to relocate an antenna for improved signal reception or to connect a higher-gain antenna.

Key Features

  • Direct interface conversion from miniature IPEX1 (U.FL) to standard SMA female connectors.
  • RG1.13 coaxial cable provides excellent flexibility and low signal loss for frequencies up to several GHz.
  • 25cm length allows for strategic antenna placement within device enclosures to optimize wireless range.
  • 11mm connector shell ensures a durable and reliable connection that resists vibration and strain.
  • 50-ohm impedance matched for optimal RF power transfer in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular bands.
  • Essential for prototyping and final product integration where the onboard antenna connector needs extension.

Applications

  • Extending the antenna connection on ESP32, ESP8266, or Raspberry Pi wireless hats.
  • Connecting external antennas to 4G LTE, NB-IoT, or GSM modules from Quectel and SIMCom.
  • Improving signal range in compact IoT devices, drones, or portable trackers.
  • Prototyping and testing different antenna configurations for wireless sensor nodes.
  • Replacing damaged or inaccessible IPEX connectors on existing wireless hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

What modules is this IPEX1 to SMA cable compatible with?

This cable is compatible with any wireless module featuring a standard IPEX1 (also called U.FL) antenna port. This includes common Wi-Fi/Bluetooth SoCs like the ESP32 and ESP8266 on many development boards, nRF52 series BLE modules, and numerous 4G LTE, GSM, and GPS modules from manufacturers like Quectel, SIMCom, and u-blox. Always ensure the module's connector matches the IPEX1 form factor.

How do I properly connect and secure this cable to my board?

First, gently press the IPEX1 connector straight down onto the module's port until you hear or feel a faint click, indicating it is seated. Do not pull on the cable to disconnect; use a dedicated U.FL removal tool or carefully pry up with a small flathead screwdriver. For the SMA end, screw it firmly onto your antenna's male SMA connector. Secure the cable with zip-ties or strain relief to prevent tension on the delicate IPEX1 connection, which can break the socket from the PCB.

What is the typical impedance and frequency range of this RG1.13 cable?

The RG1.13 coaxial cable is designed with a 50-ohm impedance, which is the standard for most Wi-Fi, cellular, and Bluetooth RF systems. This impedance matching minimizes signal reflection (VSWR) and loss. Its frequency range effectively covers common IoT bands, including 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.4 GHz, and cellular frequencies up to 2.7 GHz, making it suitable for the vast majority of consumer and industrial wireless applications.
