Description

This RP-SMA female to IPEX1 pigtail cable is a critical RF interconnect for IoT and embedded wireless systems. It features a reverse-polarity SMA female connector on one end, designed to mate with standard RP-SMA male antenna connectors, and a compact IPEX1 (MHF1) plug on the other for direct connection to module-mounted pads. The RG1.13 coaxial cable offers a balanced compromise between flexibility and low signal loss, making it suitable for internal routing within enclosures.

Engineered for reliable performance across common IoT frequency bands, this cable facilitates the extension of antenna placement to optimize wireless range and reliability. The 13mm threaded RP-SMA connector ensures a stable, shielded connection, minimizing impedance mismatches that can degrade RF link budget in sensitive LoRaWAN or high-throughput Wi-Fi applications.

Key Features

  • Direct interface conversion from board-level IPEX1 to chassis-mounted RP-SMA antenna ports.
  • RG1.13 coaxial construction provides good shielding and controlled 50-ohm impedance.
  • Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA) female connector prevents connection with standard SMA antennas.
  • 10cm length offers flexibility for internal antenna placement and enclosure routing.
  • Broadband RF performance suitable for frequencies from GPS (~1.5GHz) up to 5GHz Wi-Fi.
  • Essential for development kits, routers, gateways, and custom embedded wireless devices.

Applications

  • Connecting external antennas to Wi-Fi/Bluetooth SoC modules (ESP32, ESP8266) with IPEX footprints.
  • Extending antenna placement for 4G LTE, 5G, or NB-IoT cellular modules in IoT gateways.
  • Providing an antenna connection for LoRa/LoRaWAN transceivers (SX1276, SX1262) in sensor nodes.
  • Integrating GPS/GNSS active antennas into tracking devices or telemetry systems.
  • Internal cabling for routers, access points, and industrial wireless communication devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What modules is this RP-SMA to IPEX1 cable compatible with?

This cable is directly compatible with any wireless module featuring an IPEX1 (MHF1) connector pad, including common ESP32/ESP8266 Wi-Fi boards, 4G LTE modules (SIM7600, SIM800), LoRa transceivers (RAK3172, Heltec Automation LoRa), and GNSS receivers. The RP-SMA female end connects to standard RP-SMA male antennas, making it ideal for extending antenna placement outside an enclosure for improved signal range in IoT sensor nodes and gateways.

What is the difference between RP-SMA and standard SMA?

RP-SMA (Reverse Polarity SMA) reverses the gender of the inner conductor compared to standard SMA. In an RP-SMA female connector, the center contact is a pin, while in a standard SMA female, it's a socket. This design prevents the use of non-compliant antennas. This cable has an RP-SMA female end, meaning it mates with an RP-SMA male antenna. Always verify your antenna's connector type to ensure compatibility with your device's port.

How do I install this cable on my development board?

First, locate the IPEX1 connector footprint on your wireless module—it's a small, square, surface-mount pad. Gently align the IPEX1 plug on the cable with this footprint and press down until it clicks securely into place. Avoid bending the cable sharply at the connector. Route the 10cm cable within your enclosure and connect the RP-SMA female end to your external antenna's RP-SMA male connector, threading it hand-tight. Ensure the cable is not strained or pinched to maintain impedance integrity.
