5cm RG178 IPEX 1 to RP-SMA Female RF Pigtail Cable
A 5cm RG178 coaxial pigtail cable with an IPEX 1 (MHF1) connector on one end and an RP-SMA female connector on the other, designed for low-loss RF signal routing in space-constrained IoT devices, embedded systems, and wireless modules.
Features
- Compact RG178 Coax: Features a 5cm length of flexible RG178 cable, ideal for tight internal routing in miniaturized electronics and IoT sensor nodes.
- IPEX 1 to RP-SMA Interface: Bridges common RF connections, linking board-mounted IPEX 1 antenna ports to external RP-SMA antennas or test equipment.
- Low-Profile 11mm Connector: The short 11mm connector length minimizes protrusion, perfect for compact wireless devices and embedded system designs.
- Versatile RF Prototyping Tool: Enables quick antenna swaps, custom antenna setups, and RF testing for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRa, and cellular modules during development.

This RF pigtail cable provides a critical interface for wireless connectivity in compact designs. The IPEX 1 (also known as MHF1) connector is the industry-standard choice for connecting to onboard antenna pads on miniaturized Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular modules, such as those from Espressif, u-blox, and Quectel. The opposite end terminates in a standard RP-SMA female connector, allowing connection to a vast ecosystem of external antennas with RP-SMA male plugs for improved range and signal diversity.
Constructed with RG178 coaxial cable, this assembly offers a balance of small diameter, flexibility, and acceptable RF performance for short runs typical in consumer electronics and IoT end-devices. It is engineered to maintain 50-ohm impedance matching to minimize signal reflection and loss, ensuring reliable wireless data transmission for prototyping, testing, and final product integration.
