Description

This IPEX 1 to RP-SMA Female pigtail cable is a fundamental RF interconnect for wireless hardware development and repair. The IPEX 1 (or MHF) connector is the industry-standard interface found on embedded Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular modules, allowing a secure, low-profile connection to the module’s RF pad. The opposite RP-SMA Female connector provides a standard threaded interface for attaching a vast array of external antennas, enabling significant improvements in signal range and reliability.

Constructed with RG1.13 coaxial cable, it balances flexibility with controlled impedance (typically 50Ω) to maintain signal integrity over its 25cm length. With a rated maximum input power of 50W, it is suitable for high-power wireless applications, including router antenna upgrades, access point modifications, and connecting test equipment to embedded radio boards for performance validation.

Key Features

  • Provides critical interface conversion from internal IPEX 1 (MHF) to external RP-SMA antenna ports.
  • RG1.13 coaxial cable ensures 50Ω impedance matching for minimal VSWR and signal loss.
  • 25cm length offers optimal flexibility for routing inside enclosures and chassis.
  • High-power handling (50W max) supports demanding wireless transmission needs.
  • Enables antenna diversity, replacement, or upgrade for improved wireless performance.
  • Essential tool for repairing or modifying consumer routers, access points, and IoT gateways.

Applications

  • Connecting external antennas to embedded Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules (ESP32, Raspberry Pi HATs).
  • Repairing or upgrading antenna connections on wireless routers and access points.
  • Enabling high-gain antenna connections for cellular modems (4G/LTE, 5G) with IPEX ports.
  • RF testing and prototyping setups requiring a link between a device-under-test and lab equipment.
  • Extending antenna placement for optimal signal reception in IoT enclosures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What devices use the IPEX 1 connector on this cable?

The IPEX 1 (also called MHF) connector is standard on most compact wireless modules. You'll find it on mini-PCIe Wi-Fi/Bluetooth cards, embedded ESP32/ESP8266 modules with onboard antenna pads, cellular modems (4G/LTE), and many Raspberry Pi wireless HATs. It's the primary interface for connecting an external antenna to the module's RF output, replacing a small stamped PCB antenna.

Can I use this cable to connect a standard SMA male antenna?

Yes, but you must check the antenna's connector gender. This cable has an RP-SMA Female port. A standard SMA Male antenna (with a center pin) will connect directly. However, an RP-SMA Male antenna (with a center socket) will not fit. Always verify your antenna's connector type (SMA vs. RP-SMA) and gender (Male/Female) before purchase to ensure mechanical compatibility.

What is the difference between RG1.13 and other coaxial cable types?

RG1.13 is a specific, thin coaxial cable type with a 1.13mm outer diameter. It offers a good balance of flexibility and low signal loss for short runs inside electronic devices. Compared to thicker cables like RG174, it's more flexible but has slightly higher loss. Compared to thinner options, it provides better shielding and durability. It is designed for 50-ohm impedance matching, which is critical for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular frequencies.
