Description

This IPEX1 to SMA female RF pigtail cable is an essential interconnect for wireless system integration. The cable utilizes RG1.13 coaxial construction, balancing flexibility with controlled 50-ohm impedance to maintain signal integrity for frequencies up to several GHz. The IPEX1 (also known as U.FL) connector is a miniature, board-mount interface found on virtually all compact Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular modules, requiring this adapter to connect to larger, more robust SMA-based antennas.

The 50cm length provides sufficient reach for optimal antenna positioning within a device enclosure, helping to mitigate RF interference and improve wireless performance. The SMA female connector offers a secure, threaded coupling for a vast selection of external antennas, allowing developers to easily swap and test different antenna gains and radiation patterns during prototyping and deployment.

Key Features

  • Enables connection from compact IPEX1/U.FL ports on wireless modules to standard SMA antenna systems.
  • RG1.13 coaxial cable provides a flexible, low-loss transmission line suitable for internal device layouts.
  • Maintains 50-ohm impedance matching critical for minimizing VSWR and maximizing RF power transfer.
  • SMA female connector features a threaded interface for a secure, vibration-resistant connection.
  • Ideal for prototyping, testing, and final integration of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and 4G/5G systems.
  • 11mm connector length ensures a proper mating depth with module IPEX1 sockets.

Applications

  • Connecting external antennas to embedded Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules (ESP32, ESP8266, nRF).
  • Providing antenna links for 4G LTE, NB-IoT, and GSM/GPRS cellular modems.
  • Routing GPS/GNSS antenna signals from a receiver module to an external passive antenna.
  • Prototyping and testing RF performance with different antennas using vector network analyzers.
  • Internal cabling within routers, access points, and IoT gateways for antenna diversity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What modules is this IPEX1 to SMA cable compatible with?

This cable is directly compatible with any wireless module featuring a standard IPEX1 (U.FL) antenna port. This includes popular Wi-Fi/Bluetooth SoCs like the ESP32, ESP8266, and nRF52 series, as well as cellular modules (SIM7600, SIM800), GPS receivers, and LoRa transceivers that use this miniature connector. The SMA female end connects to a vast range of external antennas with SMA male plugs for testing and deployment.

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

Align the IPEX1 connector carefully with the socket on your module, ensuring the center pin and outer shield are oriented correctly. Apply gentle, straight downward pressure until you hear or feel a distinct click, indicating the connector is fully seated and latched. To disconnect, pull straight up on the plastic connector body—never pull on the cable itself, as this can damage the delicate latch or solder joints on the module's PCB.

What is the maximum frequency or data rate this RG1.13 cable supports?

While exact specifications depend on the manufacturer, RG1.13 coaxial cable is typically rated for frequencies up to 6 GHz, making it suitable for Wi-Fi 6 (5 GHz), Bluetooth, 4G LTE, and sub-6 GHz 5G applications. Its 50-ohm impedance and low loss per meter ensure minimal signal degradation, supporting high data rates for protocols like 802.11ac/ax. For millimeter-wave frequencies above 6 GHz, a lower-loss cable type like RG178 may be required.
