Description

This IPEX-to-RP-SMA pigtail cable is a fundamental RF interconnect for developers and integrators working with embedded wireless systems. The IPEX 1 connector interfaces directly with the compact antenna pads found on modern Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules, cellular modems, and GNSS receivers, enabling a clean transition to a standard external antenna port.

The cable utilizes RG1.13 coaxial construction, which provides sufficient flexibility for internal device assembly while maintaining controlled 50-ohm impedance critical for minimizing VSWR and preserving RF signal integrity across common IoT frequency bands. The 11mm connector length ensures a secure and reliable connection to the module’s IPEX port, preventing strain and disconnection in mobile or vibration-prone environments.

Key Features

  • Enables external antenna connectivity for embedded wireless modules with IPEX (MHF1) pads.
  • 50-ohm impedance-matched RG1.13 coaxial cable minimizes signal reflection and loss.
  • RP-SMA female connector offers broad compatibility with standard SMA male antenna connectors.
  • 11mm IPEX connector length provides a secure, low-profile connection to mini-PCIe and M.2 cards.
  • Supports a maximum input power of 50W, suitable for high-power RF applications.
  • Flexible cable design allows for easy routing inside router casings, industrial gateways, or drone frames.
  • Maintains signal quality over its 50cm length for optimal antenna placement.

Applications

  • Extending antenna ports on wireless routers, access points, and range extenders for better placement.
  • Connecting internal mini-PCIe Wi-Fi/4G modules in industrial PCs or single-board computers to external antennas.
  • Repairing or modifying consumer electronics, drones, or IoT gateways where the internal antenna connection is damaged.
  • Prototyping and development setups for testing different antennas with embedded wireless SoCs and modules.

Frequently Asked Questions

What devices is this IPEX to RP-SMA cable compatible with?

This cable is designed for devices with an internal IPEX 1 (MHF1) antenna connector, commonly found on mini-PCIe Wi-Fi cards, M.2 wireless modules, cellular modems (4G/LTE), and many embedded system-on-chip boards like the ESP32 series. The RP-SMA female end connects to standard external SMA male antennas used for routers, access points, and signal boosters, making it ideal for repair, upgrade, or prototyping projects.

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

RP-SMA stands for Reverse Polarity SMA, a variation where the gender of the center conductor is swapped. On this cable, the RP-SMA end is female (outer thread, recessed center pin), which mates with a standard SMA male antenna (outer thread, protruding center pin). This design is common in consumer Wi-Fi equipment. Using the wrong type can damage connectors. Always verify your antenna's connector type is SMA male before using this RP-SMA female pigtail.

How do I properly install this cable on my wireless module?

First, power off your device. Locate the IPEX 1 connector on your wireless module—it's a small, square, gold-plated port. Align the cable's IPEX connector so its notch matches the module's port ridge. Gently press straight down until you hear or feel a faint click, indicating it's seated. Do not pull on the cable to disconnect; use a dedicated IPEX removal tool or carefully pry the connector up from its edges. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends near the connector to prevent cable strain and signal degradation.
