Description

This IPEX1 to SMA Female RF pigtail cable is a fundamental interconnect component for wireless IoT hardware development. It bridges the gap between the miniature, board-mounted IPEX1 (also known as u.FL) connectors found on most compact Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS, and cellular modules and the industry-standard SMA antenna interface. The 10cm RG1.13 coaxial cable offers a balance of flexibility and controlled impedance, allowing for clean integration while maintaining signal integrity for critical RF links.

Engineered for low-profile installations, this cable facilitates the connection of higher-gain external antennas to improve wireless range and reliability, a common requirement in final product designs. Its construction ensures minimal signal attenuation, making it suitable for applications from 2.4GHz Wi-Fi/Bluetooth bands up to higher-frequency cellular and GPS signals, depending on the connected antenna’s specifications.

Key Features

  • Direct IPEX1 (u.FL) to SMA Female interface conversion for antenna connectivity.
  • Flexible RG1.13 coaxial cable minimizes space and eases installation in compact devices.
  • Maintains 50-ohm impedance matching for optimal RF power transfer and minimal signal reflection.
  • Enables the use of high-performance external SMA antennas with embedded wireless modules.
  • Essential for prototyping and final product assembly in Wi-Fi routers, IoT sensors, and telemetry devices.

Applications

  • Connecting external antennas to Wi-Fi/Bluetooth SoC development boards (ESP32, nRF52840).
  • Extending cellular/GPS antenna ports on 4G LTE or NB-IoT modules (SIMCom, Quectel).
  • Routing antenna signals in compact IoT sensor enclosures and smart home devices.
  • Prototyping and repairing wireless routers, access points, and RF telemetry equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What modules is this IPEX1 to SMA cable compatible with?

This cable is compatible with any wireless module or development board featuring a standard IPEX1 (u.FL) antenna port. This includes common Wi-Fi/Bluetooth boards like ESP32-DevKitC, nRF52840 DK, cellular modules from SIMCom (SIM7000, SIM7600), Quectel (EC25, BG77), and many GPS/GNSS receivers. The SMA female end accepts standard male SMA antenna connectors.

How do I properly connect the IPEX1 connector to my module?

Align the IPEX1 connector's metal shield with the module's socket, ensuring the central pin is oriented correctly. Gently press down until you hear or feel a faint click, indicating the connector is securely latched. Avoid pulling on the cable to disconnect; use a dedicated u.FL removal tool or carefully pry up the outer metal shield with a plastic spudger to release the latch without damaging the fragile pins.

Is the 10cm length sufficient for my project, and what is RG1.13?

The 10cm length is ideal for routing within compact enclosures, connecting a module to an antenna mounted on the same PCB or a nearby panel. RG1.13 is a specific, thin, and flexible type of 50-ohm coaxial cable. Its flexibility makes it excellent for tight bends without significant signal degradation, but for longer runs or applications requiring ultra-low loss, a thicker cable like RG316 might be preferable despite being less flexible.
