Description

This RP-SMA Female to IPEX1 connector cable is a critical RF interconnect for modern wireless designs. It bridges the gap between the common external antenna connector (RP-SMA) and the ultra-compact IPEX1 (u.FL) interface found on most Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, and LoRa modules. The 50cm RG1.13 coaxial cable offers a balance of flexibility and signal integrity, allowing for optimal antenna placement while maintaining impedance matching.

Featuring a 13mm threaded length on the RP-SMA end, the cable ensures a mechanically stable and reliable connection that resists loosening from vibration or movement. This pigtail is engineered for minimal insertion loss and VSWR, preserving RF performance for sensitive communication protocols including 5G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 6, and LoRaWAN, making it a fundamental component for prototyping and final product integration.

Key Features

  • Direct interface from external RP-SMA antenna ports to internal IPEX1 module connectors.
  • RG1.13 coaxial cable provides excellent shielding and signal integrity over the 50cm length.
  • Secure 13mm threaded RP-SMA connector prevents accidental disconnection.
  • Broadband compatibility supports frequencies used in 5G, 4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRa, and GPS/GNSS.
  • Essential for prototyping, testing, and final integration of wireless modules in constrained enclosures.
  • Enables optimal antenna positioning away from board-level RF interference.

Applications

  • Connecting external high-gain antennas to Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules (ESP32, ESP8266) on development boards.
  • Routing cellular antenna signals from an internal 4G LTE module (e.g., SIM7600) to an external magnetic mount antenna.
  • Providing a test port for RF performance validation on LoRaWAN node PCBs with IPEX1 footprints.
  • Integrating GPS/GNSS active patch antennas into tracking devices and telemetry systems.
  • Extending antenna placement in compact IoT sensor enclosures for improved signal reception.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This cable is compatible with any wireless module or device featuring a male IPEX1 (u.FL) connector. This includes common IoT boards like ESP32/ESP8266 development kits, 4G LTE modules (SIM7600, SIM800), LoRa transceivers (RAK3172, SX1276), and GNSS receivers. The RP-SMA female end connects to standard external antennas with RP-SMA male connectors, commonly used for Wi-Fi, cellular, and GPS applications.

How do I properly install and secure this RF pigtail cable?

First, carefully mate the IPEX1 connector to the module's port, ensuring it clicks into place without bending the center pin. Route the RG1.13 cable away from power lines or noisy digital circuits to minimize interference. Finally, screw the RP-SMA female connector onto your antenna's RP-SMA male plug, hand-tightening the 13mm thread until snug. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the threads or cable strain relief.

What is the advantage of using an RG1.13 coaxial cable for this application?

The RG1.13 coaxial cable offers a good balance of flexibility, durability, and RF performance. Its specific impedance (typically 50 ohms) matches standard RF systems, minimizing signal reflection and loss (VSWR). The shielding effectively reduces external electromagnetic interference (EMI), preserving signal integrity for sensitive protocols like 4G LTE and LoRa. The 50cm length provides sufficient reach for optimal antenna placement without introducing significant attenuation.
